SlimAdd two more twists to that knot, and it might work on someone impugning the dignity of one’s rifle.
The rum reminded Delmonico of a drink a cook on a British Man-O-War told him about one time at a meetin' of "Victorian Age Cooks Assoootiation." (This is a world wide trade union of cooks in English speakin' countries. ) Then thinkin' that they really have missed Trinity and are glad to have him back, he puts the bottle of castor oil away for a while. Twas a talkin' with a fella today tellin' him bout GG's new oven, tolt him I might have to make a large loaf of bread in it sometime. Got to do some chipherin' to figger out the proper prooportions as to flour and water. With that Delmonico heads to the dugout to sleep for the night, "Just wait till those wagons get here tommorow, I got a surprise fer you all. By the way, I went to the top of the hill that Slim uses when he comes back on Monday to check things out a fore he rides into the ranch, could see their campfire about 5 miles out. Oh by the way, when I was in North Platte i got a chance to look at a map of the area, that hill of Slim's is called <Hornet's Nest Hill>."
