I'm getting sick and tired of being the corpse in this post mortem! If you want to kill somebody, go kill the preacher that married us!

When we got back he wanted to go all over me with a curry comb an' braid my mane. "The old scout roared with laughter as he thought of the child's play in which he had had a part.
