Th’ Old Man musta lit into him hot an’ heavy, chewed him out good. I’d say they warn’t even talkin’ by th’ time they pulled up here. Seems like th’ kid got an idear to scout north, struck trace near th’ Long Canyon, rode th’ sign on his own an’ was bushwacked.

"Who, Mifflin?" "Yeh; did ya see that car in front of his place this morning?" "No." "Believe me, some boat." "Musta hired it, hey? Where'd he go at?" "I didn't see.
