Dinner's ready in 15 miutes for those of ye as paid for food and lodging. The rest of ye help yerselves to some corn dodgers,pemmican and pickled eggs. Mr Mudcat Spiegel will stand the house to a bottomless cup of ale, and a jigger of rum or whiskey a piece. Jen, you'll not make it back down the trail to the ranch this night, so grab a robe and a spot by the fire. If it's too crowded for accomodation, Laughing Cat says 5 or 6 of ye can fit into the tepee. Don't grin...it'll be a sight warmer in there on a pile of hides and blankets, and with 8 or 9 dogs curlin up on yer feet, than it is in here.

Mbo...I do have a job for ye. There's an old Shoshone lady in the village 3 miles up the river name of Sacajawea.The very same that led the Survey Expedition of '03 through these mountains. She's not been well, but she's a grand lady and I would surely like her picture done to hang on this wall. I will pay you three pieces of Spanish gold for it.

Here's one

I knowed a girl in Old Saint Lou
Said "Sweetheart, Dear I will marry with you
But a promise to me you must make
Not to wander them Missouri Breaks"

Sorry, Suzanna, I cannot stay
Towards the Western Peaks I'll surely stray
A golden brooch to thee I'll send
But I've peaks to climb and traps to tend

Do ye not weep, Suzanna
Do ye not weep, my Love
