Festus’ came running out of the post office….Matthew! Matthew!…It from Miz Kitty… It’s From Miz Kitty!… Doc, swiping his Mustache laughing… he’ll never change… Matt he’ll never change.
Festus’ Ok,.. Ok. Let me have it… Matt was smiling ,but his face was now flushed… everyone in the street was watching… the three men walked towards the office… Well, Is she alright? Is she coming home Matthew? Well for heaven sake will you let him read it? Ok, You ol’ Ninny… Will you too stop.. Matt said , I’m trying to read my letter. Yes Festus’ Kitty’s alright , she on her way Home.
Matthew ..where she’a been all this here time? Doc, looked at him…That is none of your business…
Well, don’t she ‘a knowd that we bin a worrin’a on where she’a bin? Festus’ I’m sure Kitty will tell us everything ..when she gets back.. Matt answered.
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
In a Small Town just outside of Tulsa County.. Frank Reardon.. Was Passing through.. he had been down in Texas ..He was on his way back to his place in Montana. He figured he’s stop rest and replenish his supplies…. He had himself a few beers… then got his supplies… and while he was loading.. Something caught his attention… he walked across the street… slowly he walked up behind this pretty lady and said
Now, what on earth is the second prettiest gal I know doing in this here little town? And he slid his arms around her… only to have her turn quickly and slap his face! Wow! It’s me Frank .. Frank Readon…?
Look Mister.. I don’t know who you are ..and I don’t appreciate strange men taking the liberty of putting their hands on me ! Just then a rather large man came out of the General store… Maggie honey… You ok?
She shot Frank a Look… and said Yeah Joe… I’m Fine ..can we go now… People in this town are strange! You just have to get use to being around people honey that’s all…? Let’s go …we’ll go home now…Frank stood there with the most surprised look ..still stunned at the slap …Why didn’t she know me?
On the ride…. Maggie ..did he do something to you…? No, just a bit too friendly…that’s all.
Well, Honey ..you’ve been gone an awful long time…you have to re-adjust…remember we still don’t know where you were ..or what happened to you? But, that’s not important.. your back now.. and I’m never gonna let anyone hurt you ever. I’m just sorry I wasn’t there that day to protect you.. Oh, Joe.. Please..
Don’t do that to yourself. She smiled at him placing her hand lightly on his cheek.
Dodge City
Frank Rode into Dodge a few days later…. He walked directly into the Long Branch… Doc and Festus’ were at a table …Hey …Hello Frank!.. com’on over here and have a drink with us . Doc.. Matt around?
I guess.. Frank was surveying the room…. Who you looking for Frank… Doc, I think I’m losing My Mind? What?.. Doc, Kitty Here? Well, No. . What did he do this time ?… who Frank? Matt. What did he do to make her leave this time? I’m sorry Frank but your not making much sense. As Frank was talking…Matt came in behind… Frank Readon…you Ol’ Frank turned … Matt.. What happened? Why’s she down there? And why didn’t she know me? Wait a minute.. Frank What are you talking about ?…and Who are you talking about? Kitty ..Matt! Frank was now getting all frustrated. Frank down where?
Matt I just rode up from Oklahoma …… Now Matt was smiling… Frank .. Kitty’s in New Orleans.
Actually she on her way back.. Well actually she should have been back …oh, a… Matt I was in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. And I saw Kitty.. And when I snuck up behind her she slapped me… Matt laughed
Matt she didn’t know me! Com’on Frank? Matt I mean it! Now Matt’s face dropped! He realized he was kiddin anymore. And a man came out of the general store.. and called her Maggie.? She left in a wagon with him. Matt I’ve known Kitty and you a long time… That was Kitty! I’d bet My life on it…
