Loco or Love

Some of Piperock’s prominent citizens come down to see Magpie, and their conversation leads us to believe that we’re incompetent. They hints around that they might ’a’ made a mistake when they elects Magpie. Magpie sighs deep-like, and tells them to not take snap judgment, ’cause he’s going out to get that feller right soon. Art Miller gets Magpie off to one side and speaks to him in whispers. Magpie shakes his head, emphatic-like, and Art acts disgusted. After they’re gone I asks Magpie what Art wanted.
