It ain’t that he’d be this way if he had a choice, but he swore to God an’ all the saints he’d never leave some woman with his bastard in her belly like his daddy done to momma. No decent woman’d have him either--he’s got nothin to give, no name, no stake, no spread. Between what he sends back home to Strawberry and the upkeep on himself and his pony there ain’t nothin left for a wife an family, nothin at all.
really made me sniffle and bite back tears. Poor lonely cowboy...
The only quibble I have is: only once? They're young men for heaven's sake! They have stamina! ;)
