White Feather (part two)
Later that day the mountie photographer arrives (early) Clive is still whitewashing his side of the
detachment. He comments on how scruffy mounties look these days.
Clive scrambles into his woodpecker suit and appears on the porch for the photo.
Jack watches in amusement as the photographer tells
Clive he should have at least polished his buttons.
"I was just about to say the same thing, if there's
one thing I can't abide it's a dirty button!"
(Sally Duffield rushes onto the scene, Marie is missing!)
"Still think I was over reactin' Clive?"
"Let ME do the talking Jack."
"Guess today is as good a day as any to die."
The lawmen are not welcome in the village.
White Feather asks them "Who speaks for the woman?"
Clive responds, "I do, she is my woman and I will fight you for her."
Jack explains to Clive: "Ya run fer the horses, ride 'round that stake down there, don't let 'im
knock ya off yer horse. Then ya ride up here, get off yer horse and run up that steep hill there,
at the top is a knife, whoever gets there first uses it on the other."
Jack & Marie watch helplessly.
Clive is in trouble.
White Feather continued...
"Jack if I loose, you get Marie out of here."
"Ya can't loose, ya ain't had yer picture took yet."
