:22:22
Anybody hungry?
:22:27
I'll bet you ten to one
she's a good cook, too.
:22:33
I'm glad I didn't bet. I'd have lost.
:22:36
How did anybody in this family
ever get to college?
:22:40
I didn't want to go to college.
It was either that or jail.
:22:43
_ For what?
_ They said I stole a horse.
:22:46
People are trying to stick me
with things like that all the time.
:22:50
_ Did you steal it?
_ I rode him, but I didn't steal him.
:22:53
Ma wouldn't back me up. There
wasn't anything else to do, so I went.
:22:59
_ You went where?
_ To the School of Mines.
:23:02
It was September 3rd.
It was a week before school started,
:23:07
and I clumb Pike's Peak.
:23:09
_ Why?
_ It was there.
:23:11
_ You done what to Pike's Peak?
_ I clumb it.
:23:15
_ You didn't, you climbed it.
_ What's the difference? I got to the top.
:23:19
_ There ain't no such word as clumb.
_ What about the horse?
:23:24
She went to a lot of bother to get you
an education. Why don't you use it?
:23:28
_ Why did you steal the horse?
_ I didn't.
:23:32
I was in bed, and I heard someone
talking, so I looked out of the window.
:23:36
And old man Hyselman
was claiming I stole his horse.
:23:40
A grey horse? What did Katie say?
:23:42
She was as mad as he was,
told him to go look if he wanted to.
:23:46
Then he came out of the barn with his
horse, Ma behind him hanging her head.
:23:52
Then she come in all scared.
:23:54
_ Ma scared?
_ I never saw her like that before.
:23:57
She said he was coming back with
the sheriff, and I'd better leave the state.
