Since (some of) the prior contributors did a swell job describing the story, i really just have a comment. Even though i already noticed we don't all agree, imo this was an excellent showcase of Festus. i saw a rough and dirty, fun loving "cowboy" who was MORTIFIED that the townspeople would see him keeping company with a little girl. i found it great fun to see Festus get so frustrated and annoyed with Lettie. Each time she calmly and sweetly put him in his place! But my favorite aspect about this episode is that Festus can't hide his HUGE HEART no matter how hard he tries! If you're a Festus fan (as i obviously am) this episode is a MUST SEE!
