“They Speak Without Words”
Matt had his hands full Three wild little boys… And a town full of people who wanted answers.. And let’s not forget the watchful eye of Mrs. Pry! Never was there a time Matt wished Kitty was in Town…
He didn’t have time to deal with Young Sissy.. and the three Little brothers and still … do his Job?
Marshal, Sissy said.. I’m awful sorry these boys are … Matt was waiting for her next choice of words…
Putting up both hands …Look … I’m gonna take you’ all over to Ma Smalley’s maybe there ..they will settle down? She smiled at him shyly. Whatever you say Sir.. Matt thinking to himself…Such a polite child,.. What happened to these Boys? Just then the door flung open.. and standing there madder then..
Well let’s just say Real Mad… was Mrs. Pry!… Marshal Dillon? Once again… Now he no longer was hearing her….he just stood there like a child being scolded… Do You hear me? Huh? He replied as he looked up… Your not even listening…! Mrs. Pry Please…? Before he could he say another word..
She turned and stormed out…. Then he heard her scream….. And begin yelling … when he walked out of the office to see what happened… The three Little boys had knocked her in the street… and Newly was trying to pick her up…only to be hit by her ..and yelled at! And the three Boys were nowhere around…
Kitty had cleaned up as best she could. .then waited with the others.. but not satisfied.. with how long it was taking… Look, I’m going to ride to the nearest town… Poor Burt is lying out there… ! Ma’am you can’t..? Why? She ask. Well for one you’re a woman.. And Kitty was giving him a angry look…
Well, I can’t just sit here.. doing nothing? The rain had slowed down to almost a complete stop…
The next town?… can’t be that far right? Twenty Miles maybe… Not part of the stage run…
That doesn’t matter … there has got to be someone there that can help? And it’s obvious ..to me that none of you are willing… Kitty got herself together…pulled herself onto the horse…Ma’am there’s no saddle… I’ll ride without one…! My skirts will protect me… and she took off!
The rain had now ended… but, it was still muddy…, she tried her best to stay nearest to a main road…
In the distance… she could see what looked like a small town… Ahhh! Finally … she slowly rode into this town… People just watched her …wondering about the woman riding bareback on a horse.. especially this woman? She didn’t fit the Hillbilly look.. She was pretty even know she was a bit tattered… and her clothes.. well ..a bit high end. When she stopped, two men approached her…You Lost Beautiful?
NO! I’m looking for a Doctor? Do you have one here in town? Don’t look ailing…one of them said.
I’m not! My friend needs a Doctor…and.. Just then, the sheriff walked up behind her… you want to come down from there Missy? I…I… come on.. I’ll help you! Thank You.. I was just asking these….
If you have a Doctor here? We’ll get to that.. first things ..first…quickly, she turned ..What?
Come with me…and he grabbed her by the arm… Pulling away, Hey!.. wait one Minute here…!
What do you mean First things First?…. Don’t take to locking up women ,but,… Hey Wait! Locking up?
Wait one minute Mister? You locking me…Up? Yeah!.. You…. Now she stood there shocked…WHY? Horse Stealing… and your lucky they don’t hang Woman… Horse Stealing?
I haven’t stolen any Horse! Uh huh… and I guess that Horse is yours? Now frustrated… Well, No, but,
It belongs to … Lady I know who it belongs to… and it’s not you! Listen here Mister…I was on the stage line to St. Louis,…. We went off the road… the driver was hurt… Yeah, yeah , yeah ..by your Boyfriend… and his friends…now with her jaw dropped… What are you talking about? Still pulling her by the arm… I was on my way to a Business trip.. …Yeah you said ..St. Louis.. got it! Look Here …
My Name is … we’ll get to that…in a Minute… I’m Kitty Russell, from Dodge City.. I own the Long Branch Saloon! He was now laughing at her. Sure you do!…. UGH! I’m telling you …I’m Kitty Russell, and Burt needs help!… he’s lying out there. Look you send word to Dodge ..to Matt Dillon
He’ll straighten this all out…. Please Just send someone to help Burt…? And she continued to tell him where they were when they went off the road… but, he wasn’t listening…
Later the Sheriff, went to the telegraph office, ..Calvin, any word on the escapee’s .. No sheriff, but, some of the lines are beginning to come back up… is that so? The sheriff ask. Cal, send one off to Dodge City, To Marshal Dillon… inquire about a Kitty Russell.. Says she owns the Long Branch saloon there…
Let me know when you get an answer ok?.. Sure thing Sheriff. Cal said. Then he decided..
She looked harmless enough…he would take her over to the café for something to eat…
