Sheila Bromley: Mrs. Spencer

Quotes 

• Wishbone : That's just a little light soup with thimble-sized cornmeal dumplings. You didn't have any clams 'cos I could've made you a chowder. There, I got drop biscuits frying. Might have been better if I'd had a sour dough cake. But, oh well. That's the goulash.

  Mrs. Spencer : What?

  Wishbone : Goulash. Ah, beef, salt pork cracklings, ah, onions, carrots, peas, peppercorns, parsnip. No, I couldn't find any parsnip.

  Mrs. Spencer : Oh, I'm sorry.

• Wishbone : That's the best breakfast I ever had.

  Mrs. Spencer : It's none of my business, Mr Wishbone, but don't tell me that out on that trail of yours driving all that cattle, they don't give you a good breakfast?

  Wishbone : Not exactly.

  Mrs. Spencer : Well, I don't know how you stand it.

  Wishbone : I been kinda wondering that myself.

• Mrs. Logan : You're sure gonna miss that Wishbone when he goes back to the drive.

  Mrs. Spencer : If he goes back.

  Mrs. Logan : Sarah, you ain't meaning? Well, I suppose if he cut those whiskers off, he wouldn't be a bad looking man.

  Mrs. Spencer : Mhh. I like his whiskers.

  Mrs. Logan : It's just a matter of taste. Does he know he ain't going back?

  Mrs. Spencer : Not yet.

• Mushy : Last time I see him, he was getting ready to take a hot bath.

  Gil Favor : Well, he must be out of it by now.

  Mrs. Spencer : Oh, he'll be back in a couple of days.

  Mushy : I dunno. Mr Wishbone's been talking about quitting the drive and settling down.

  Gil Favor : He's been talking like that for the last ten years.

  Mushy : And now with that widow woman taking care of him like that.

  Gil Favor : Widow? What widow woman?

  Mushy : Mrs Spencer. She's the one giving him the hot bath...

  Gil Favor : PETE!

  Pete Nolan : I know, I know. I shouldna let him take the shortcut back there. How was I to know there was a widow woman waiting in them mountains.
