I thought he was a different color.

All I was doing was returning that lady's dog, and that diamond choker was the dog's collar.

Especially if I was giving that beau expensive presents.

Darling, I told you last week I was having a bride for Claude flown in from Paris.

I was afraid she'd catch it in the bushes running after Duke, so I took it off.

This is the nosiest family a man was ever burdened with.

And there's where my TV set was.

Look at this here collar that Cottonpatch was wearing.

I reckon it was clipped that way, Ellie Mae, but the fella that done it must have had the clippers in one hand and a jug in the other.

I ain't.

Before she come along, Duke was feeling lower and a snake's belly and a wagon rut, but look at him now.

I think they're getting ready for a wedding.

I don't know.

No, I ain't.

I sure will.

I sure am.

Oh, well, I bet you it's a nice place.

I could brew up a pot of Choctaw Root.

Pa, am I going to have a new ma?

I ain't going courting!
