Re: Episode 7-3: Independence
Tired as he was, Morgan couldn't help smiling in response to Earp's comment about his deputies. Of the two of them, Morgan had become convinced he had the easier job. Hunting men down and bringing them in to answer for their crimes offered its share of dangers, but it was still far simpler than trying to keep a city in line, especially a powderkeg like Dodge.
Once Earp had ventured off into the dark, Morgan looked to Hawthorne. For a moment he hesitated, uncertain about what to say, but feeling compelled to speak about what had occurred with Mansfield.
Clearing his throat, he said, "Miss Hawthorne, I wanted to thank you for what you did back there. The truth is, if you hadn't been there, I'm not certain I'd still be alive. I'm not sure Earp or Mr. Darling would be either."
Tempting as it was to ask questions, he left them unspoken. He owed her that respect.
"I'm truly grateful, ma'am."
