I don't believe that's our ring. I know this law, Bob, I'll believe you're right. No, see. That's our ring. Got him down, Storm. This is love and abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge.
Well, the breach between the old fellows is wider than ever now. Squire's kimp talked love and do breaking into the store the other night in order to get the paper back which gives Abner sole ownership of the store in bakery.
The squire then turned about and traded this information to Abner for some groceries. So, Abner called the town marshal, on quote Henry Lunsford, and stationed him in the store that night to wait for long.
As we're looking on the little community today, we find Clorol Lumm in the town jail. And just outside the cell door, we find a very remorseful Abner. Listen. Well, now listen long. Go away. I don't want to talk to you, Mr. Peabody.
You've got me thrown in jail ain't that enough to satisfy you? You have to come down here and gloat over what you done? I don't want to gloat over nothing, Mom. I just want to explain to you how this whole thing was just a joke.
A joke? It's a fine joke. Making a jail bird out of a respectable citizen. Putting a blot on on Tarnish characters. Crossing his face with the shatter of the bar. Well, Mom, I never meant for you to actually get put in jail.
When I told Uncle Henry Lomford to surprise you at the store when you come in to get that paper, you sign. Well, I said I'd just do it to Josh's. Well, you ought to know better than to get Uncle Henry in on any kind of a joke.
