Quotes
- Dulcey berates Walking man: "Well, ready to eat, we have prarie chicken and dumplings..Oh Walking man you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Do you realise, you shorten your life by days, even months every time you take a drink of that..that awful firewater or whatever it is? The next time you feel the temptation, what you ought to do is pray for the strength to resist the devil, do exercises, take a cold bath in the creek, something, anything".
