Anybody'd think you never

Well, I haven't seen
this kind before.

Now, let's see.

Four pairs.
Light Brahma,
cockerel and hen;

Jersey White Giants.Black Minorcas.

Yes, sir.
Black Minorca pair.

And cross-bred pullets:
Barred Plymouth Rock

What's the
gold-colored one?

They shipped him
along extra.

He's a Buff Orpington.

How much?

Compliments of
McCord's Poultry.

Elizabeth wants
an exhibition flock,

and we want her to tell folks
where she bought her starters.

Of course, I'll expect
a couple of dozen eggs.

Can I keep him, Granddad?

Put him aboard.

Send along any special feed
we might need for
the fancy ones.

Cracked corn once a day

They'll scratch

That's a Buff Orpington.

That's a Buff Orpington?

I knew a sheriff once
named Cal Orpington.

This looks a little like him.
Am I invited out
for chicken dinner?

Not till we
build up the flock.

Uh-oh. Sounds to me
like you're gonna have

some new pets,
Mr. Grainger.

Yeah, they don't
look like pets to me.
More like fried drumsticks.

Shh!
They'll hear you!

You two finish
the shopping.

You can meet me
over at the gunsmith's.
Cracked the stock.

Better than having
a cracked shoulder.
I'll walk over with you.

You see Bob Archer?

Not me.

Nope.

Watch this.

You never saw a draw

And nobody

One time.

I won't let him go

That was stupid.

I had to try it.

This man's a professional,
Stacey.

Don't try it again.

Don't think I'm saying
that because he's

I'm not.

So you get this clear.

There's only one thing
in this house worth
dying for,

and that's Elizabeth.

And as long as
they treat her
with respect,

we sit still.

And what if they don't?

Then we both go in

What's the sense
in keeping us

Why don't you let us

I could sure

You sleep when

You want another slap

Horses.

How many?

Two.

It's that sheriff.

They're looking

You remember?

He came here

Go upstairs.

Sheriff, Emmett.

What are you doing out here
this time of night?

We're looking
for Doc Hinton.

His wife told us
he came out this way
to fix a busted collarbone.

He was here this afternoon
for a couple of hours
taking care of Elizabeth.

Is she all right?She's fairly well.

Everything's in order?She's sleeping comfortably.

Mr. Grainger,
this dry wind's
got me awful parched.

Mind if I get
a drink of water?Certainly not. Come in.

You know where
the kitchen is.Thank you.

How come you're burning
the midnight oil?

Well, I spilled
a pitcher of water
over my ledgers.

I have to re-copy
all the entries.

Wouldn't be able
to sleep anyway.
I'm worried about Elizabeth.

Don't worry about that,
Mr. Grainger.

I've busted my wishbone
on both sides.

Never got
my wish, though.

Won't you
come in the den?

No, thank you.
We've got to be going.

You've got flour dust
splotched all over
the floor in there.

Yes, it seems to
be my night

for knocking
things over.

Well, just as long
as you don't blame me.

Well, we'll see you
around, Mr. Grainger.Anytime, day or night.

Did the doc say
which way he was headed?

Yes, as a matter of fact,
he said something about

going over by Crofton's.

Nobody out there.

He had some idea
of buying some land.

Thank you.
Good night.

Good night.

All right.
You can thank

I come out

For free.
