“I think every cowboy is born with a love of pretty things,” he said philosophically. “It’s the reason getting up before sunrise ain’t no hardship, and the reason Clark is so gentle tending to that little calf of yours. We see the beauty in the open range, and we love and take care of all God’s creatures. Doesn’t matter if it’s a rawboned old nag or a pretty little thing needing a safe ride home from the Longbranch.”
