Maybe I can come back though.” “Oh, Mr. Sheriff, you won’t send me off now, will you, when the business is just beginning?” Howard Eliot having left his charges safely at home went to his lonely ranch haunted by rebellious thoughts which Mrs. Wopp would have translated, “Here endeth my knowledge of the female speeshie.”.
