Part 7 of 13
“… There she is Reb.”
“Barely.”
“That’s plenty.”
“Agreed.”
“Let’s not turn our backs on Morgan this time.”
“What about Snake and Turkey Gus?”
“We haven’t done much with those signs he gave us.”
“No we haven’t.”
“We wore Turkey feathers.”
“Let’s not mention that.”
“We can say we’re working on them signs.”
“That’s true.”
“And we’ve just talked about them signs even.”
“Good one Gus.”
“Do you think he’ll say anything?”
“Last time was special.”
“So you’re saying no.”
“We’ll handle it either way.”
“Yup.”
“Forward Yank …”
Johnny Reb and Gus Yank RMH: Morgan “… Halt.”
“Geez, don’t say ‘Present Arms’ Reb.”
“No rank, I remember.”
“Hello Morgan.”
[Silence.]
“Nothing Gus.”
“Smiling though.”
“Smiling last time.”
“I didn’t notice.”
“He was talking.”
“That I noticed.”
“I learned something Yank.”
“From a book or Tell-Lie-Vision?”
“Book.”
“Which one?”
“The Journal of the House of Representatives.”
“Real sleeper.”
“Zzzzs.”
“What’d you learn Reb?”
“There are Peacemakers and Mischief Makers.”
“Keep going.”
“Morgan was a Peacemaker, via war.”
“Okay.”
“Through revolution, made peace.”
“And you read about someone maybe mischief-making the peace?”
“Did.”
“Say more.”
“A Yank.”
“Who?”
“Representative …”
