The Gunfighter Page #4

I guess they're all around the Palace Bar.

- Little Jimmie too?

- I suppose so.

He's about as wild as the rest of them.

What's Jim doing here, Mark? Do you know?

- He says he wants to see you.

- What about?

- He didn't say. I thought you might know.

- No.

I didn't tell him anything,

your name or anything.

I just said I'd tell you he wants to see you

and leave the rest to you.

What do you think?

I ain't thinking.

I got nothing to say either way.

Well...

I won't do it.

I can fix it for you on the quiet

if you want to see him.

No. I think it's better the way it is.

Tell him I'm sorry.

Whatever you say, Peg.

Mark.

How does he look?

Just about the same, I guess.

A little older, a little tireder.

Not as cocky as he used to be.

Tell him I'm very sorry.

I'll tell him.

- Want some more coffee, Mr Ringo?

- No, thank you, lady.

- Tell him to bring that bottle over here.

- Coming right up, Jimmie.

Best stuff in the West, Old Puma Rye. Lot of

fellas around here won't drink anything else.

Why don't somebody chase them kids

out of there? Ain't you got a school here?

Sure, Jimmie, we got a school.

I'll get them away from there.

Get away from here and stay away.

Come on, now, get off there.

... broke his back,

jumping over a railroad track.

Stay away, please. Don't come back.

Jimmie Walsh! Now, just you wait

till your mother hears about this.

- But we're not hurting anybody, Mrs Devlin.

- You wait till I tell her you're at the saloon.

- Morning, Mrs Devlin.

- Morning. It's simply an outrage.

That murderer is sitting over in that saloon

like an honoured guest,

and the children are running wild.

I completely agree with you.

And five pounds of sugar.

And did you see all those loafers?

- You'd think it was Deadwood.

- Mark Strett'll get him out soon.

Soon? How long is a murderer supposed to

be entertained? How much are the potatoes?

Eight cents a peck. Two for 15.

- Half a peck.

- You know who'll do something?

- Mrs Pennyfeather.

- Exactly. Will you go with me to talk to her?

I will. Soon as I get

some of these lovely onions.

- What about you, Mrs Cooper?

- I'd like to meet her.

- Morning, ladies.

- Good morning, Mr Marlowe.

Twist of tobacco, George.

What's all the excitement?

- It's that murderer, of course.

- What murderer?

- That Jimmie Ringo. Haven't you heard?

- Where's Jimmie Ringo?

Sitting right over there in the Palace Bar,

just as big as you please.

We're going straight

to Mrs Pennyfeather right now.

Hiya, Jerry.

What'd you forget?

What are you going to do?

Jerry!

Jimmie Ringo's in the Palace Bar. When he

comes out, he's going to get this in the face.
