I'm going to be with him.

-Hello, Doc.

-Matt.

-Was expectin' you yesterday.

-Well, I had a little trouble out on the trail, there.

I wonder if you could go take a look at Danton's leg.

See if he'll be all right to travel tomorrow.

-Fine.

-Mrs. Mason and I were thrown together back in Mesa Verde.

Found we were both headin' for Fort Union.

She's about 8 months along.

Make it whiskey, barkeep.

I got a long thirst.

-Kitty, this is Belle Clark here.

-I'll have to remember that.

-I, uh, I met Miss Clark up at Doc's office.

She was, uh, traveling with that Mrs. Mason.

-Tryin' to join up with her man at Fort Union

before that baby gets born.

-Do you have someone waiting for you at Fort Union?

-I'll tell you one thing,

two woman traveling alone to Fort Union's pretty dangerous.

-Marshal, wondered if I could maybe join up with you.

No other way for me to get there unless it's alone.

-Well, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning.

But what about Mrs. Mason?

-Not likely.

She'll be mighty disappointed.

But you'll still have company -- me.
