Finishing up Supper at Fort Dodge with the Colonial… Matt
noticed glancing out the window, the Light beginning of Snow Fall. He had been hoping to get back to Dodge
ahead of it …This ride was difficult enough.
Matt, what has your attention?
Ben, I just thought I might have beat the Snow,.. but , looks like I was
wrong. Don’t worry friend, I’ll see to
it you are well supplied for you trek back.
Kitty was getting ready for the Night time crowd, then
, Franny knocked at her door.. It’s
open,! Kitty , are you busy? ..no ,come in..
Just changing for the night ….as she looked on at Kitty standing there in an
Emerald Green Satin Dress, wow! You look fantastic! Why Thank You,.. Kitty I just wanted to
Thank You for all your doing. Fran,

back to bed ..Doctor’s orders!....smiling at Kitty.. Yes Ma’am! Oh, I’ll bring you a tray too. Oh, Kitty I, I…..and just with the look
Kitty gave her… she knew not to argue. Go on now Rest….and Kitty headed down
stairs.
The Saloon, was filling up quite early, when she made her way to the Bar,…. Sam,
smiled,.. good crowd Miss Kitty,.. well Sam,… it might still be an early night
,.. from the look outside… Why’s that Miss Kitty? It looks like it’s begun to snow. Then her face changed… Miss Kitty what is
it? Oh, Nothing Sam,.. Just thinking
about Matt riding out to Fort Dodge and Having to ride back ,if this snow get
worse…. I wasn’t to happy about him
riding out ,.. when he’s not fully healed yet.
Marshal Dillon will be fine ..he said trying to reassure her. Festus’ made his way through the batwing
door … rubbing his hands …from the chill…. It’s’a might cold out there tonight…
Kitty just smirked… then.. Yes it sure is … tell me Festus’ do you think a
whiskey would help that ?… winking at Sam
Jest Might Miz Kitty… Sam,. She said nodding her head for him to give
Festus’ a drink. Miz Kitty ,.. don’t

brow. Well yeah!... just a little

As Festus’ left … She
went back to her conversation with Sam,… when Sam stared towards to
doors…. Kitty’s eyes followed … Standing Tall in the doorway,.. in a tailored
Suit, fancy hat …silk Tie,.. rubbing his fingers along his Goat-tee….. Kitty
caught his eye… he slowly with his
shoulder’s straight and firm….walked in her direction….Evening Ma’am… then
looking at Sam,… I don’t suppose you have something suitable for me to
drink? Kitty with an intense look
,.. raising a brow…. Well now Tiger,…
I think Sam can find something to your liking…. Looking at her from a
side Glance,…Sam,.. and without saying a word…. Motioned to the top shelf… A little far from Home ? Yes Ma’am….It’s Kitty , Kitty Russell…!You
don’t look like you belong in such a place like this! Although it is nicer than some others… Well ,
Mister a… he finish for her Bousselot’,
Victor Bousselot’ ok well Mister
Bousselot, I own this one! Purposterous ! A Woman Owning a Saloon… Maybe so .. but, I own this one !
after Sam poured him a glass of Kitty’s best Top shelf Whiskey … Looking
surprised,.. Looking at the brown liquid in the Glass…. From where do you Hail
Miss Russell? Thinking before she said to much,… Oh back east… Sam looked on wondering why
she answered that way… didn’t think you
belonged here! Mister Bousselot’,…
I’ve been to a lot of place across this country,.. but, truthfully Dodge is where I choose to
be,.. this is my home….You should return to your real home Miss Russell,… a
Proper lady…… he was angering Kitty now
.. she’d dealt with enough of his kind… Excuse me Mister Bousselot… I won’t
stand here and be insulted… now this is a public place ,but , I choose my
company… so if you’ll excuse me? No,
Ma’am you will hear what I have to say,… !
and grabbed for her arm,… quickly Sam with some force,.. Just wait one
minute… get your hands off of her… The insolence,... of the help! That fast Sam pulled his hand away from
Kitty… Mister,… I choose who I talk to and drink with … and right now… let’s just say,… I can’t stomach Men who
show such rude disrespect for a
Woman!... Actually I’d prefer you leave!
How dare you!? Good Bye Mister Bousselot’ Sam?… Let’s go fella’ Sam ushered him out!
Later Louie, carried over a tray from Delmonico’s for Kitty
to take to Franny…. Sam, Sam … I brought this fur Miss Kitty…. Joe, said she
sent fur it… I’ll take it Louie,… ok Sam…. Louie wait,… what is it Sam? Here … maybe this will warm you some…. Ahhh

of Whiskey….
Kitty carried the tray upstairs,..to check on Franny… tappng
lightly on her door,… Kitty is that you?

for some reason?… I’d say it’s that little one .. ahhh Kitty I’m sorry I didn’t

Victor Bousselot’ was enraged that Kitty threw him out as
she did.. How dare a Woman give me an order? What
is the world coming to when a Man , a Man such as I,.. be subjected to such
arrogance !? Well, I just have to locate Francine,.. then Flee this obnoxious
little hamlet! He decided to wire back
home for further information ..about trying to find Francine… he had, had a
private investigator to help,with locating her …. When he received a
response,.. he was surprised to Learn ,.. That the Private Investigator , dug
up information about where she visited while in New Orleans as well as who she
visited,… and in that information , he found that Francine had a good Childhood
Friend she tried to find,… By the name of Kathleen ,… Kathleen Russell! Well now…. Miss Russell you just may be of positive use after all …! I will find you Francine ,… anyway I need
to ….You belong to me , he said to himself as he finished his drink and sat
back in his chair.
