[Trampas has just returned from taking an girl to town, and he meets the Virginian and Stacey in the corral.]
What happened in town?
Plenty. She's staying here while they try and locate her real parents.
Stace told me what happened.
Is she still claiming to be an Indian?
It doesn't much matter to her what she is. She feels Indian, she thinks Indian, and that's the way she likes it.
What happened to the rustlers?
Old Man Grainger... (Trampas looks at Stacey) Uh... Mr. Grainger told the sheriff to send them back to the reservation.
Well that was real kind of Old Man Grainger. (Turns to The Virginian) You mind if I go up and see what's happening?
Go ahead.
How come Grainger sent me into town with him and sent Stace back to the range?
I guess he's just trying not to show favoritism.
Why he doesn't have to do that! I never think of Stace as being the boss's grandson. Until I call him Old Man Grainger.
