My Family, “My” Choice!
Fenwick Sanitarium
Abbeville, Louisiana
Matt, Kitty and the New Orleans Sheriff arrived at Fenwick Sanitarium… along with Abbeville’s Sheriff
They weren’t sure what kind of issue there would be when they arrived? Especially under the circumstances that everything came about. When they all walked into the director’s office…
Kitty , ask, the secretary… to speak to the head of the Sanitarium…. The woman looked at Kitty..
And Who May I tell him would like to see him ?…. My name Is Kitty Russell…No Tell him…
Kathleen LaRogue Russell. The two Sheriff’s and Matt all looked at each other…. And nodded.
The one New Orleans Sheriff leaned to Matt… That Name ..will make people stand up and listen ..
Wait right her Ma’am… I’ll tell him! A Minute later… a tall thin man appeared…
I hope you weren’t waiting Long …? No Not at all. .Kitty said. Won’t you come in…?
The four entered his office… What is it I can do for you Miss LaRogue-Russell? First These Gentlemen with me ..are well, you know your Sheriff… this is.. Oh, I also Know This gentleman as well New Orleans sheriff? Ok then Allow me to introduce… United States Marshal Matt Dillon… Marshal it’s a pleasure..
Same here, Matt said. I’m Mr. Baxter…Hyram Baxter… Now How may I help you? I believe you have My Aunt Constance LaRogue Here. Is that so? Yes. And I want her released. To me. Let me check on that. Baxter left the room… he went to the outer office…. Said something to his secretary then came back…
I’m afraid you are mistaken … Kitty furrowed her brow…What? What do you mean? We have no Constance LaRogue here. Baxter said to Kitty. That can’t be! Kitty looked at Matt,… Matt I know she’s here . Ok, Wait… let’s all take a minute. .could there be a mistake ? Marshal, I pride myself on excellent record keeping. I don’t care what you pride yourself on ..? I know she’s here.. And I’m not leaving without her! Kitty now hold on here …let’s not get excited? Matt tried to calm her. Matt! Matt knelt beside her… Kitty, were going to check this out… Baxter, could you check again? Baxter, walked out again,
But this time ..he made a call …. But apparently. .didn’t reach who he wanted. Matt happened to notice him on the phone… Then He ask… Baxter is there some problem? Now even the two Sheriff’s were getting suspicious …? Finally, one of them spoke up… Mr. Baxter… ? I’m ordering a search of this facility to look for Miss Constance LaRogue… immediately! Kitty got up…I’m going with you!
Ma’am you should wait here… No! she’s My Aunt. .and besides .. I know what she looks like …
Do You? Then she looked at the one Sheriff from New Orleans.. Well You Might. .but, it can’t hurt to have extra eyes can it? Finally, Matt said …You might as well agree… she won’t give up. Ok…
Then, they all started to go Room by Room…looking for Constance’ Fenwick was a big place…
Going through the Rooms … Matt walked into one room…, noticed a very elegant old woman..
Sitting staring out the window… He came in the room slowly. .as not to scare her… bent down beside her..
Hello…Ma’am… You’re a Cowboy.. Matt smiled ..with his boyish grin…Yes Ma’am… I am.
My Kathleen has a Cowboy…. Matt, looked … then said… Is your name Constance’ Ma’am
Now, how would you know that you Man? Because you are just as Your Kathleen, described you…
She place her hand on his cheek…just the way Kitty does…. And in a sweet and gentle voice…
You know My Kathleen ..Do You? Yes Ma’am You Bet I do. And she is going to be so happy to see you. I’ll be right back … ok? She nodded in agreement…
Matt went out in the hallway, saw Kitty talking to a Nurse… she was describing Constance to her asking if she knew where Kitty could find her?… , then Matt called to her…Kitty ?… Kitty … Down here hurry…
Kitty hurried.. to where he was ..What is it Matt?… in here for a Minute… What? Come here…Look..
Matt ….. Is it…? Oh My Heaven… Aunt Constance’… is it you? She knelt down in front of her….
Auntie… It’s me Kathleen … I found you… Kitty’s eyes were now filled with tears…she looked at Kitty..
I Met a Cowboy.. just like the one ..you told me about Kathleen … Kitty Smiled. Yes Auntie..
That’s My Cowboy… Constance’ placed both hands on Kitty’s face… Kathleen…Dear…
Yes.. Auntie…. Can we go Home Now? Crying … she said… Yes ..Yes we can!
I’m taking you Home… and your never going to have to leave there ever again ..I Promise You!
Matt and Kitty Took Constance back to LaRogue Manor.. Had her Doctor come and check her out
They spent time there with her .. Constance , told Matt she realized why her Kathleen fell in Love with
Him… she wished she met a man like him when she was young…?
Constance let Kitty know she never signed anything… her own Attorney still had all her official papers
She wanted kitty to know what was in her Will ,but, Kitty didn’t want to know. Constance agreed to help Patrice get a divorce from Paul or whoever he was? And Kitty would keep a closer check on what was happening.
There was an official trial.. And LaTrese and Paul were both convicted… Patrice got her divorce.
Then Matt and Kitty knew it was time to head back Home…
They said their Goodbyes … Auntie, I promise I will be back soon to visit.. I Promise…
And You better bring that handsome Cowboy with you Kathleen . Kitty Laughed… Yes Auntie…
They headed Home….
