: *Pant-Pant-Pant* Whooo, I ain't run so far so fast since I was swamp sprintin' as a young un'! Hopefully ol' Fuzzy can pass fer me fer a bit till I can think o' what ta do next. Long as he's daubin', my dear Old Crone hopefully won't bother pesterin' him. I just got ta wonder what ol Miss Marcia is up to comin' round the hut.
: Anywho, I need ta git to some cover-I ain't got my loincloth on and streakin' like this just ain't gonna be good fer my unblemished reputation or my sense o' pride if I happen ta come upon some--whoooaaa!
: *Slip-tumble, tumble, tumble-SPLASH!*
: What in.....Aw I just fell inta the crick! Well what a revoltin....actually, this is kinda refreshin'. I did need ta scrub my ears, anyway, and the water is so nice and cool! Now what ta do? I still need some cover.....wait a minnit, what's that I see....looks like somebody's dryin' their clothes on the line! Just my luck, now I can.....Tarnation! Them's LADIES clothes! Well ain't this a kick! Just when I thought I was......Hmmmmmmm. Come ta think of it, a disguise would be just what I need ta avoid detection.......
: Just a bit later.....
: Crimey this corset is a might tight-how DO the ladies wear these things? Maybe I shoulda left this off...Uh Oh, looks like I'm passin' a cabin. What's the name on it.....Twigg?!?!?! Oh no, I'd better walk a mite faster-it's the Sheriff's place. Lord.....Oh, hello there! *Dang, he come out ta say HI* Yes, I'm just passin through. *flashes nervous grin* My name? Why it's Gra.....cious-Gracious Ra...Re....Ru....Rose....thorn. Yes, Gracious Rosethorn! No, I'm not from around here. Why are ye lookin' at me with those leerin' eyes? Oh yes, I do seem a bit manly in my bearin'-I was raised on this here frontier, doncha know. *Ouch* Now Sheriff, I'll kindly ask ye ta keep yer hands ta yerself there! I really should be goin'! No, I can't stay and chit-chat.....Now Sheriff, behave yerself.......
: Grape
Now, Miss Rosethorn, no need to hurry off. I wasn't thinking any ungentlemanly thoughts, I assure you. Being the Sheriff of this fair village, it's my duty to be acquainted with all our fine citizens, and especially to protect and defend the fair ladies among us. Why don't you just set a spell and have a glass of cool lemonade, and you can tell me about your lovely self. Obviously you are new in town. Here, you can sit in this nice wicker rocker and cool yourself. You seem to be a bit overheated and nervous.
