Well, at least they wouldn't have to be quarantined here.

"You understand one thing there can't any funny business go on in this valley now. The administration's mighty keen. You know that." "There ain't, Doc. She's my housekeeper. I'd ask you in all right, only she can't cook, nor nothing." "A housekeeper, and can't cook? How's that?" Sim Gage wiped off his face, finding the temperature high for him.

Early in Deborah's illness, John had offered to give up his room for the use of one of the nurses. "That's mighty thoughtful of you, Johnny," Allan had responded.

But if I see you in the Square and give you a tip about yourself now and again, that doesn't count. That's on the side. Understand?" She considered it gravely. "All right," she agreed at length.
