Quotes 

• Betsy Stauffer : I would have expected by now he would have reached a crisis. Still.

  Gil Favor : Yes, Miss?

  Betsy Stauffer : I don't know. I suppose the symptoms vary with each person. I just hope it doesn't get any colder. We haven't come very far, have we?

  Gil Favor : Mmh?

  Betsy Stauffer : In ancient days a newborn baby was placed in the open, and, if it survived the elements, it was deemed fit to live... Now, if a person comes down with a contagious disease, he's put out too. Nine out of ten cases don't make it.

• Betsy Stauffer : But he's got to keep dry.

  Gil Favor : If it rains... We could put him in the wagon, build a fire underneath to keep him warm.

  Betsy Stauffer : It might keep out the rain and I doubt it. But it won't keep out the dampness and chill. If he should catch the slightest cold, pneumonia and bronchitis...

  Gil Favor : If we got him to a warm, dry place?

  Betsy Stauffer : That's what he needs. We could put him in the back of the store.

  Gil Favor : PETE! I'm taking Rowdy through the Pass to Gorham.

  Pete Nolan : There might be some shooting.
