Colonel later, happy to know you, sir. And you, sir.

Speaker 3: During this silver Boom, it was a roaring mining camp.
Speaker 5: Was it.
Speaker 4: May I pour you more, Brandy, mister.
Speaker 1: Paladin, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 3: Gloria Morgan was reigning Queen of the Tenderloin District there
until the boom was over. Then she disappeared, and.

Speaker 4: She's so important you have to hire mister Paladin to
find her colonel.
Speaker 3: Essential, My dear, I'm a stickler for exactness. I must
meet her and know what she's like. I know that
a gun battle was once fought for her favors. I
know that her beauty and her fame were known throughout
the camps. I know she imperiled, hearts and lives with
a smile. What I don't know is whether she still
lives or not. And I must know. Why don't you
look into this matter yourself. I regret, mister Paladin that
I'm not physically up to it.
Speaker 1: You'll take the job, Yes, yes, I will.

Speaker 1: Have you tried a pepsi lately? It was a curious
mission searching for a dance hall queen, but no more
curious than the man who instituted it, or the reasons
he gave for wanting Gloria Morgan located. There were other
people who had different ideas.
Speaker 9: Welcome to your room to warn you do not go
to Lodoster Colonel Issa Monster.
Speaker 1: He liked to hurt people. He is torturing. Oh who
is he torturing his wife?
Speaker 9: He has been stabbing her with that name, Gloria Morgan.
I think she is sweetheart. Ones he want to find her,
bring her here?
Speaker 1: And he told me he never laid eyes on the woman.
He can't lie, perhaps, but then I'm paid to locate
Gloria Morgan.
Speaker 5: If you do, if you bring her back here, I
kill you.
Speaker 1: Who. Welcome to Lord scar You like room romans? Some information, yes, sir,

it myself. I heard you was kind of frisky and quick.
I am she must have been quiet, lady? What lady?
What did I say? Lady? Yeah, the slip at the tongue.
As a matter of fact, I'm not sure she was lady,
judging by the things I've heard.
Speaker 5: Of her, every one called talon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, move on, Mazie.
Speaker 3: Shut up.
Speaker 1: I can talk to him if I want to.
Speaker 9: You ben't ask me about Gloria Morgan.
Speaker 1: Ain't you? Oh? I knew were?
Speaker 2: I worked with her with her once?
Speaker 9: How about some.
Speaker 1: Of that my pleasure? Where can I find Gloria Morgan?
Speaker 2: I don't know where little Glory is.
Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you, or I wish she was.
Speaker 1: Oh my man left me when he saw her, that's what.
Speaker 3: Oh, good luck?
Speaker 4: She couldn't only candle.
Speaker 1: To me, Mazie. H mister Summers. Get out of heremasic. Come, yes, sir,
stay where you are. My name is Clay Summer's paladin.
Don't reach for a gun now, let's go. But a fear,
I have no choice, mister, say that's right. You don't
come on your horse. Yes, okay, I'll just take your gun.
Speaker 3: A paladin, you show your face in load Star again.
Speaker 1: I'll kill you with your own gun. There'll be no
fair fight. I'll ambush you.
Speaker 7: I'd mount up.
Speaker 2: Now right out.
Speaker 4: I was a teenage Jame.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 4: I was a teenage jam living in a lovely scratch
on the tile beast room floor. I came in on
a saddle, too, and then I moved to the floor.
There were millions of us James playing rock around the
sink or hiding insect. My hostess was a wonderful woman.
Every week she'd splash all around us with nice, warm
stop and water. But then some rats squeal to her
about rifel and we had to beat it. Lifelow kills James,
it was laid us.
Speaker 1: Yes, if you're a germ, you'll hate lysol because lysol
kills disease germs, many deadly viruses too. Lysol also destroys
bathroom odors. Cleaning every week with Lysol and the SuDS
disinfects your bathroom from one cleaning to the next as
nothing else can. A little Lysol bran disinfected in the
SuDS makes your favorite cleaners work better and including many
that claimed through sanitize Lythol is now available in regular
or pine fragrance as little as twenty nine cents.
Speaker 4: We are looking for a new bedroom to live in?
How about yours?
Speaker 1: My road does ordered. But by nightfall I was back
in load the Star, ready to meet the man who
had threatened to shoot me on the site. He seemed
genuinely surprised to see me again when I appeared at
his office. All that I told him, I know what
you told me, mister Summons. Now I'm telling you this
is a derringer said down, please? What do you want
my gun for? One thing? It's a fine weapon. I
just couldn't leave it behind. Where is it? Ain't all there?
Speaker 3: WHOA keep your hands off that picture?
Speaker 1: And lady is lovely the Gloria Morgan put that picture down.
I know what the picture missus Summers, but I wanna
talk about her. You must have been very fond of him.
I don't understand how a woman like her writes your loyalty.
Why men will kill for her? She was filth. There's
a cheat and a liar of faith and worse. I
know that for a fact.
Speaker 7: You know nothing pality and what is the truth? She
was all things to all men. She was saying the
devil or whatever I nd stand.
Speaker 1: There was a gun battle fought for her favor, not
for her favors, for her hand in marriage. Oh, I
suppose the other fella had as much right to court
her as I did you. But I it was a
good fight.
Speaker 7: And a fair one.
Speaker 1: But it was all over. We were both near death
and Gloria Morgan, but she told us that she loved
neither one of us, and she went away.
Speaker 3: All I had left of her is that picture.
Speaker 1: I don't know where she is now. I can't tell
you that. You don't have to tell me, mister Simmons.
I know where to find Gloria Morgan.
Speaker 8: M you going.
Speaker 1: I can't very well do that. I told you would you,
so is everyone else. And I'm still alive. I want
to see Colonel Latham. You figd out about that woman? Yes,
you are going to tell him? I was hired to.
But I don't think that Gloria Morgan is going to
hurt your mistress told of me. I'll take me to
the colonel.
Speaker 10: Gone, Colonel, miss Lathrop, how's your patient?
Speaker 1: Missus Lathrop pable as well? Thank you?
Speaker 5: That'll be all to allmy.
Speaker 9: Yes, miss.
Speaker 3: Hell, were you successful, mister Pellaghan, did you find Gloria Morgan?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Well, where is she?
Speaker 1: Perhaps it's more important to know who she was rather
than where she is. Colonel, I know who she was,
I doubt it. I talked to many people, and if
you agreed as to exactly what she was, some alleged
that she was a strumpet. Some held of the contrary.
Now this thought that Gloria Morgan was a victim of
a rather ugly set of circumstances over which she managed
to triumph. What circumstances. She was abandoned in the mining
camp by a man who had brought her there under
the pretense of marriage. And no money, no friends, no
one to turn to, she did the best she could.
She sang and danced in the saloons. She shared in
the money that men spent for the pleasure of drinking
in her company.
Speaker 3: Is this distressing you, my deear.
Speaker 5: No, go ahead, mister Palladin.
Speaker 1: Well, apparently Gloria Morgan managed to do these things without
compromising her essential integrity. Two men wanted to marry her.
She rejected them both, but as far as I could learn,
that both men are still in love with her.
Speaker 2: Go on, mister Pellen.
Speaker 1: Many others still lover for her generosity. Now I'm trying
to crystallize my impression of Gloria Morgan as I learned
to know her, Colonel.
Speaker 3: And that impression is that she was a.
Speaker 1: Remarkable woman whose friendship I would have considered a high honor. Colonel,
He's go on, mister Pellan. Gloria Morgan's married to day happily. Unhappily.
I'm sure it was a good marriage to a proud
man until he received information exposing his wife's past and
the worst kind of light. So, out of hurt arrogant pride,
he planned to punish her by having a third party
confront her with proof of her identity in his presence.
That will be quite enough. So this scheme was unworthy
of the man. Colonel. Now, I have an idea that
he was still in love with his wife, but he
was sick in his mind. And the pity of it
all is that if this man had approached his wife
in a reasonable manner, I'm certain she would have told
him all he wanted to know.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm sure she would have done that. But my
husband paid.
Speaker 1: You to make a report, mister Paladin. Why don't you
make it the whereabouts of Gloria Morgan? You want to
know where she is? Colonel No, mister Pellin, Well, Gloria
Morgan at BoomTime days is dead. Do you believe that.
Speaker 3: Colonel Yes, yes, I believe it.
Speaker 1: Excuse me let him alone for a few moments, then
go to him.
Speaker 4: Missus Lathy, thank you very much, mister Paladin.
Speaker 2: Terribly sorry, it's quite all right.
Speaker 1: Is entirely my fault on.
Speaker 2: The contrary, I wasn't looking where I was going.
Speaker 1: We could debate the matter if you'd care to join
me for a cup of coffee. And my name is Paladin.
Speaker 5: I shan't forget your gallantry or your intriguing invitation, mister Paladin,
but I must hurry along.
Speaker 1: Good day, good day. We will meet again. A cross

to San Francisco, last night. Hey boy, you're justinement I
