[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

As Pete cooks breakfast, the Pony Express rider arrives. He drops off one package for Delmonico and two parcels for the Frumpy Fairy Godmother.

"At last!" She exclaims, gleefully, tearing into her packages. One small box contains a glass vial with an arcane symbol etched into the glass. She pockets that one, then opens the other. The contents are greeting with a joyful sigh. "My new yarn and hook arrived!" She pulls out the green and blue skeins, unabashedly fondling them in her hands. "Ohhhh... so soft!" And without further ado, she takes the yarn with her to her rocking chair. "Call me when it's ready, Pete!"

[Scattered Thumbs]

The stranger arrives again in front of the house and says.

Howdy, I was out looking for my brothers, but I smelled cooking. That reminded me I'm quite hungry. Is there any food you can spare?

[Delmonico]

Delmonico drags the fairly large package into his office and shuts and locks the door with the yaller dog inside.

"Why is the yaller dog inside the door?  " 

[Scattered Thumbs]

Bored of waiting for a reply, the stranger snatches another bar of soap and leaves again.

Slim fills a plate and pours a cup of coffee. He goes out to the porch and sees the stranger is back. "Stranger, errrrr, Scattered Thumbs here's a plate fer ya if yer hungry."

Scattered Thumbs swiftly globs down the soap he snatched and turns back to the house. Thanks Mister. He says to the red bearded fellow as he acepts the plate he's been offered .

[Scattered Thumbs]

"Why is he eating soap?" 

That yeller stuff was soap? It's not bad ya know. Do you have some more of it?

[Delmonico]

Delmonico opens his office door and Duke bites Slim on the leg for pokin' fun at Delmonico. Delmonico whispers to Slim as the big dog knaws on on Slim's leg. "Don't tell this fella about the Wedgewood WC, we don't want him in there."

"Tell him the #3 hole in the outhouse behind the bunk house would be about his size."

[Stoney Pete]

"Why is he eating soap?" 

That yeller stuff was soap? It's not bad ya know. Do you have some more of it?

"We had some lye soap, but Del used it to clean the icebox."

[Silver Creek Slim]

After Slim stops Duke from knawing on his leg, he gets another plate of grud and goes ta the porch ta eat.

Having eaten all the food in his plate. And having been told there was no more soap
Scattered thumbs announces he'll go look for his brothers and again leaves the house.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Wish ya luck in findin' yer kin."

A messenger delivered a telegram to Stoney Pete.  In it was a notification of a new wanted poster.   Stoney take the telegram over the stone and burns it.

"The money was good, but the job was the pits.  I'm outta bounty hunting for good."  Stoney pours some coffee and heads to his seat on the porch.
