Previously on Hope Valley 1874.
Whoa!
Better until we get where we're going
that we just keep some details to ourselves.
Why would you go and do something like that?
This can't be right.
You've been swindled.
This will sting a little.
[Man] Rancher!
What's the problem?
[inaudible dialogue]
Hey!
That's enough!
I represent the law and no one's above it.
[Rebecca] Sarah, where are you?
I can't find you.
[lantern shatters]
Jim.
How's my lovely wife?
[Rebecca gasps]
I've missed you so much.
Rebecca, do you know how proud I am of you?
Both of you.
Sarah's so brave.
Like you.
You've done the right thing.
You've come to the right place.
Nothing's like we planned.
You're keeping Sarah safe.
That's all that matters.
It's been so hard.
Oh... Sarah!
Sarah! [gasps]
Mama!
You were having a bad dream.

What should I do with this, Mama?
We can use it for kindling in the stove
once we get that cleaned.
I suppose we'll need to get some firewood as well.
How are we going to clean it?
Soap and water.
A little elbow grease.
This is going to be a lotta work.
I know. Just imagine when it's all done.
Think about this.
A parlor here.
A few chairs where people can rest by the fire,
enjoy a cup of my tea.
And here...
a dining table or two where the boarders
can take their meals.
And on Sundays, we can use the good China.
-Just like back home. -Yes.
It's going to be beautiful.
Perfect.
[board clatters]
Looks rotten to me.
Quite a few of 'em are.
It seems like everywhere I turn, something else is falling down.
One step at a time, Rebecca.
You'll get there.
I don't know when, there are so many boards missing.
I still haven't even started building the rooms upstairs.
Well, the prospectors have been helping themselves
to the wood here.
Ugh... do you know where I can get some lumber?
Well, Tom Moore's the only one around here
with milling equipment.
He's also the only one dead set against me
having a boardinghouse.
Unfortunately, he's not the only one.
See, I don't understand that attitude.
We're all here trying to make a living.
I suppose for the ranchers, it's just a question
of who got here first.
Good luck with Tom.
There's really no other choice?
Well, the supply wagon's due in this week.
It could cost you, though.
How much?
Hard to say.
Uh, that's a lotta timber.
Then there's the freight charges to consider,
all the way from Union City.
Tom may be your best option.
Good luck.
Constable.
Pa says thanks, Clayton.
We aim to please. You okay fittin' 'em?
That much smithing we can handle.
Angela.
How's your Pa been?
[sighs] Stubborn as always.
Well, how's the plow lookin'?
Good.
Just gotta stain the handles.
All right. Good.
I reckon we can use the harness from the dray cart.
Wow.
Clay, this is really good work.
Oughta be. You taught me.
You kidding me?
Well, this is beautiful. This is a whole other level.
Nice work.
And listen, did we get those logs hauled down for the fence?
Yes, sir. Uh, we started splittin' 'em.
Good work.
Tom?
Can I take them axe handles down to the trading post?
Hattie's runnin' low.
Of course.
Yeah, I got you covered.
Thanks, Tom.
Well, uh, tell Hattie I say hi.
Olivia too.
[Sarah] I hope Jenny likes my book.
I'm reading Alice and the Looking Glass.
[Rebecca] I think she will.
Papa used to tell me that you remind him of Alice.
Why?
Because you're curious and brave.
Giddy-up! Giddy-up!
I think he'd be proud of us.
Don't you?
I know he would.
Whoa...
Good morning.
Good morning, Peggy.
Do you happen to know if Mr. Moore is around?
Last I saw him, he was in the blacksmith shop.
Okay, thank you.
Um, do you mind watching Sarah for a few minutes?
-Of course. -Thank you.
Hi, Jenny.
Hi.
What's that you've got there?
Alice Through the Looking Glass.
It's a book my Papa gave me.
I thought you might like to read it with me.
All right, let's go inside then.
Thank you again.
Of course.
Giddy-up.
[clears throat]
Hey.
How's it goin' at the ramshackle?
Oh, fine. Sarah and I are settling in well, thanks.
Can't be too comfortable.
We're managing.
You know there's room for you here
'til you get things figured out.
Thank you. I am figuring things out.
I'm just saying there's no shame in
cuttin' your losses and movin' on.
I'll bear that in mind.
Good.
You want a coffee? Let's take a little break.
No, I... I just came to ask you something, um...
Though I'm not sure I should.
Oh. Ask away.
I need lumber for repairs
and I hear you may have some for sale.
I have some raw logs, but I don't have any to spare.
Is that because you don't want me opening a boardinghouse?
It's because I'm planting alfalfa,
and I have to build a fence to keep the cattle out.
All right.
Happen to know anywhere I could get some lumber?
I wish I could help.
I don't think you do.
I know you don't wanna help me, Mr. Moore.
You know, the prospectors really are just people
like you and me.
They're just trying to build a life for themselves.
Are they?
[Man] Tom!
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
No, it's all right. I was just leaving.
Uh...
Pardon me. I just need to...
pay you for the wagon repair. -No.
Should be enough.
Rebecca, I don't want your money.
Enjoy your day.
[sighs]
Just stick your foot in it?
I may have, yeah.
What's the trouble?
We got an issue up at the stream.
Let's go.
[Sarah] It's about a girl
who steps through a mirror.
Then she meets all sorts of strange people.
[knock at door]
Come in!
Well, that was fast. Did you find Tom?
[Rebecca] I did.
Turns out Mr. Moore and I didn't have
very much to discuss after all.
Oh, that doesn't sound very good.
Why does this egg have a face?
That's Humpty Dumpty.
Who?
You know...
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
That's silly.
I suppose Sarah's been to school.
Nearest one to here is over two hours away in Buxton.
Oh.
Could I buy some of those apples from you?
Take them!
We got so many this year, we have to keep
feeding them to the goats.
Really?
Maybe I can pay you in pies.
Deal.
Whoa.
Doyle!
What do you think you're doin' polluting my stream?
[Doyle] How's this your stream?
This is my land.
I bet you think you own the air that we breathe too, huh?
I use the water in this stream for my cattle
and the mercury in your sluice boxes is harming them.
Not to mention you're killin' all the trout.
Well...
unlike you, I don't have time for fishing.
Well, I'll tell you what you do have.
60 seconds to start packin' your gear and get off my land.
[door bell rings]
[Hattie] Olivia.
Olivia. -Hm?
Could you please pull your head outta the clouds?
We got a customer.
That's just Clayton.
-[Clayton] Mornin'. -[Hattie] Mornin'.
Oh, you're just in time with those.
I had someone ask after one earlier.
Good thing I came by.
Wow.
That's real nice, Olivia.
Thank you.
We haven't seen you in here much lately.
-Tom's keeping me busy.
-Mmm.
He's planning on planting alfalfa.
Is he now?
Seems he's always got improvements in mind.
Well, that's Tom for you.
You're really good.
It's just something I like to do.
Instead of stocking shelves.
That deer's so pretty, I just want to hold on to it.
Time's up.
You got no right!
Why don't you go back to the camp like the rest
of the prospectors?
'Cause there's way too many of 'em.
I can't argue with you there.
[Girl] Pa?
What's goin' on?
You brought a kid out here?
Vivian's got more grit than all your cowpokes put together.
You better believe it.
Look, Doyle, neither of us wants trouble.
All right?
So, just get off my land.
Who says it's your land?
Well, it sure ain't yours.
All right, let's go.
This ain't over.
Right, Pa?
[Hattie] Don't mind them, Constable.
You're just a shock, is all.
It's like I've got the plague.
Well, some of these fellows came out here to avoid
men in uniform, if you know what I mean.
Well, how do I get them to understand that
the Mounties are here to help people?
Mounties?
Is that what you're calling yourselves?
Ah, it's a nickname some of the fellas came up with.
Oh. Well, we'll see if it sticks.
Uh, I'll take a can.
-Of course. -Thanks, Miss Quinn.
I think it's a fine-looking uniform.
[Rebecca] Did you have fun today?
I don't think Jenny likes me.
Why do you say that?
She thought Alice was silly.
I don't think Jenny knows
how to read, sweetheart.
But she was looking at all the pages.
Yeah, sometimes when people feel embarrassed,
they pretend like they know how to do something
that they don't.
Why didn't she learn at school?
I don't think she's been.
It's too far away.
Then why didn't her mama teach her?
I don't know.
I thought everybody got to go to school.
Do you miss it?
Sometimes.
I'm sorry we had to leave so much behind.
It's fun here, too.
Like feeding the baby cow.
[Rebecca chuckles]
Can we go back to Mr. Moore's ranch tomorrow?
We'll see.
Why do some people seem mean but
are really nice, like Mr. Moore?
And others seem nice, but...
are really mean, like...
like back in Chicago?
I wish I had an answer for that.
But don't worry.
They won't find us here.
Tom Moore's got blinders on when it comes to his ranch.
Do you think it's true that he couldn't spare any lumber?
[sighs] It's hard to say.
Are you making pies?
[Rebecca] I am.
Once upon a time I was, uh, known for my pastry.
Oh.
Hattie...
would you sell pies
for me here?
Oh, I'd be happy to.
Oh, thank you, that's more help to me than you know.
You could even sell them to the prospectors
down at the camp.
They don't get much of anything sweet down there.
Unless you count my personality.
[laughs] Maybe I will. Thank you.
I can't wait to try one.
That's lovely, by the way, Olivia.
Thank you. I like to imagine places I've never been.
Pretty things I've never seen.
Draw them.
May I?
Of course.
This would be beautiful wallpaper.
Could you apply your imagination to a boardinghouse?
What do you mean?
Well, I have ideas for a parlor and a dining room.
Maybe you could put them on paper for me.
I would love to.
What do you have in mind?
Some place cozy and warm.
An oasis where people can curl up at the end of a hard day.
There are still so many missing.
I know.
Oh, my pies!
Are they burned?
No.
They're perfect.
We are going to need more apples.
Does that mean we can go back to the ranch?
I suppose it does.
Although there's somebody I wanna check in on first.
[Rebecca] Rachel.
Hi. How are you?
Oh. How's baby Ned?
Oh, we're just fine, thanks to you.
You did all the work.
Is that pie?
-Yes. -Thank you.
And I brought you some red raspberry leaf tea,
which is excellent for healing.
You're so kind to me.
[Man] That's how you do it, fellas, right there.
That's nice.
Would you excuse me for just a moment?
[Rachel] Sure, sure.
Excuse me.
Hi.
Uh, where did you get those boards?
You the one who bought that wreck?
It's a boardinghouse.
At least it will be.
Did you pull the boards from there?
Sorry, lady.
Finders keepers.
Hey, fellas, get away from that board.
If you are the law, like you say,
you gotta do something about Tom Moore.
What's the problem, Mr... Doyle, isn't it?
He ran me off my stake yesterday.
Just upstream from here.
He's the rancher you had the disagreement with
the other day.
He...
He thinks he's in charge of this whole territory.
I'll look into it.
Good.
Sure about sharing that book with Jenny
if she can't read?
I don't understand why that should make her feel bad.
She can do lots of things I can't.
Well, maybe you can learn from each other.
Good afternoon.
-Hello. -[Vaughn] We haven't met.
I'm Constable Vaughn.
Uh, R-Rebecca Clarke.
And who's this?
This is my daughter.
Hello.
-Hello. -[Vaughn] I'm sorry.
The jacket seems to make folks nervous.
So, where are you headed?
Uh, the Moore Ranch.
Fancy that. Me too.
Mind if I tag along?
Of course.
I understand you moved here recently.
That's right.
Where are you from?
Oh, we have been all over.
What's your business at the ranch?
Seems Mr. Moore has ruffled some feathers.
Ah, that I can believe.
You know him?
[Rebecca] Not well.
Mr. Moore is nice.
[Vaughn] I'm sure he is.
It's just ranchers and prospectors,
they're bound to have their differences.
I don't understand
that myself
when there's so much open territory.
[Vaughn] I agree.
It's my job to make sure that everyone is treated fairly
under the law.
Unfortunately, justice isn't the same
for everyone everywhere.
Well...
I'm here to make sure the cheaters don't prosper
and everyone else does.
I like the sound of that.
[knock at door]
Come in.
-[Rebecca] Hello, hello. -Hello.
As promised, apple pie.
Thank you.
-Hi, Jenny. -Hi.
Your braid looks pretty.
Thanks.
What's that book?
Little Women.
But... we can do something you want.
What's it about?
It's about these four sisters whose papa is away at war.
I always wish I had a sister.
Me too.
[Tom] To what do I owe the pleasure, Constable?
I'm afraid there's been a complaint against you
from Archie Doyle.
Well, I'm the one with the complaint.
Says you forced him off his stake.
His stake?
See, that part of the stream
runs through my land.
Claims it isn't yours.
Do you have proof of ownership, sir?
I don't need proof, I've been ranching here since '71.
I see the problem here.
And what's the problem?
There are new laws.
Settlers are required to get land patents now.
Seeing how much hard work you've put into the ranch,
you've got a strong claim.
Oh, I got more than a claim.
I got people that depend on this here ranch
for their daily bread.
Well, I'm happy to help you apply for those patents.
You're not listening.
And I already own the land, Constable.
Now, if you don't mind,
I'm a busy man.
Mr. Moore, unless you can prove ownership,
I have no choice but to let Mr. Doyle
prospect that part of the stream.
Oh, we'll see about that.
No. I'm ordering you.
-Don't interfere with him-- -You're ordering me?
Please consider what I've said.
My offer still stands.
If you want help registering the ranch.
Good day.
[door closes]
[Rebecca] Clayton.
-Mrs. Clarke. -Hello.
I have a question for you.
I wondered if I find some men to chop down trees,
would you be able to plane them into planks for me?
Well, you'd have to ask Tom.
That might not go so well.
I'd love to help, but I won't go behind Tom's back.
I understand.
I know it's a tight-knit community--
Clayton, we've got ourselves a bit of a problem.
-Rebecca. -Hello.
I've gotta...
Uh, I didn't know you were here.
It's all right, I apologize.
I realize after the last time we spoke,
I'm not exactly welcome. I'll go.
That's not true.
You keep telling me to move on.
From the idea of a boardinghouse, because...
I know what it's like to pour your sweat and blood
into something just to have it go bust.
Your ranch is hardly going bust, so.
I heard that you...
arrived with a Mountie in tow.
Yes, we...
crossed paths on the way in.
That's all.
I wouldn't worry about him.
If he were here for you, you'd know about it already.
He says I need proof I own my lands.
What's the world coming to when a man's word's not enough?
Well, unfortunately, not everyone's word
is as good as yours.
According to him, the prospectors can dig
wherever they want.
I mean, they come here looking to get rich quick.
You can't say that about all of them.
I'm looking to build something that lasts.
So am I.
I'm trying to make a living off of the prospectors.
I've gotta try, Mr. Moore. I've got no choice.
Would you just call me Tom?
Maybe I can find work for you around here.
That's very kind, but I'm going to see this through.
Well, I guess that puts us on opposite sides.
Do there have to be sides?
When one side takes from the other, you better believe it.
[laughing] Enjoy.
[Hattie] Vince is here.
Have you finished making room in the back for the new stock?
Olivia?
Olivia!
-Sorry. What? -[Vince] Hattie and Olivia.
How have you two been?
Oh, good. It's so nice to see you, Vince.
What's new in the world?
Well, what isn't new?
Union City's growing topsy-turvy.
Because of the gold rush?
Well, the cattle, the gold, the lumber.
And more trading posts are springing up all over.
-Wow. -[Vince] So what you got for me?
I have these pelts.
And I'll take more of the usual on your trip back.
All right, well, I'll be leaving by noon tomorrow
if there's anything else.
[Sarah] The girls flew about,
trying to make things comfortable,
each in her own way.
Meg arranged the tea table.
Jo bought wood and set chairs,
dropping, overturning and clattering
everything she touched.
[knock at door]
Sorry to interrupt.
Peg, I'm just looking for Nash.
He's at the barn.
Thank you.
Have you got sweets, Mr. Tom?
Now, why would I have sweets?
They're in that pocket.
Sam! Mind your manners.
They're in this pocket.
I knew it!
Did ya? There you go.
[Tom] And I got two more, if anybody wants one.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
It's a mighty fine house you're building there, Sam.
It's a fort.
Of course, I should have known.
Ladies.
Well... nicely done.
Thank you.
Suppose Sarah and I should be on our way.
But we haven't finished our book.
I can leave it for you and your mama to read.
That's all right, you can bring it back next time.
Bye, Sarah.
-Bye, Jenny. -Good to see you.
-Thank you. -Bye.
[indistinct chatter]
Rebecca?
Hey, thank you for the tea.
And, um, thanks for the pie.
That's just about the best thing I ever ate.
-Other than Rachel's blintzes. -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
I'm just looking for the missing planks from my boardinghouse.
Hattie said some of them were here.
Oh, um... uh, we heard you were, um...
fixing it up.
When can we move in?
Oh, it really depends on when I'm able to make repairs.
Oh.
There's some of my boards right there.
[Rebecca] That's one of my doors!
These--
Those are my shutters!
These are mine from the boardinghouse.
And there's some there.
Okay.
Hey, everybody listen.
I know you think that the place that I bought is just a...
falling down wreck
and that it's okay to scavenge from it.
But I'm trying to build something for you.
[Rebecca] I...
I want to build a place that's warm and dry
and a place that you can--
you can go and get a hot meal and...
a hot bath at the end of your day.
A place that you can call home
when you're away from yours.
And I can't do that if you keep stealing my boards.
Please.
I would really appreciate you giving me my planks back.
I see.
You know, she's a nice lady.
If she hadn't been there when Ned was born, I...
I-I don't know what I would've done.
She could use the help.
Yeah, she could use the help.
And, you know, when you took the boards,
you didn't know they belonged to someone.
Now you do.
Come on.
Come on, Rachel. It's okay.
It's all right. Let's get some sleep.
[Hattie] Rebecca?
I hope you don't mind. I saw your light.
No, it's all right. Come on in.
Sarah's sleeping.
I'm happy for the company.
Would you like some tea?
That'd be nice.
C-can I help?
Sure, you can take the cups.
I just came to tell you the supply wagon's
leaving tomorrow, if you wanna place an order for lumber.
Yes.
I'll need to, I guess.
I'm gonna have to...
replace these floorboards.
The roof.
Well, this may help.
Uh, I have the money for your pies.
Oh, well that'll be something.
[Hattie] Okay.
There you are.
Oh. Thank you.
I-I'm... I'm real sorry things didn't work out
the way you expected.
Mmm. Thanks, Hattie.
Jim...
Jim and I had this dream to come out west
and see the frontier for ourselves.
Maybe even start a new life.
My husband was a dreamer too.
Yeah.
[sighs] That's what worries me about Olivia.
She's too much like Frank.
He had a perfectly good job with Great Plains Trading.
But no, he had to...
strike out on his own.
Set up in the middle of nowhere.
That's hard.
And also, isn't that what we want for our children.
To dream.
Yeah. I guess, uh...
dreamers do have their place.
Yes, I'm convinced they do.
Why do you stay?
Uh, because, uh, it turns out I'm...
darn good at running a trading post.
Who'd have thought?
No, I have everything I need right here.
My daughter.
My memories.
And new friends.
But what about you?
I mean, how are you handling all this, really?
I'm scared. I'm terrified.
[Hattie chuckles]
I'm excited.
I look around this place and think of it
full of laughter and good cheer.
After everything Jim and I saw in the war, and...
Sarah just needs a safe and stable home.
And I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
Because I really thought I would be bringing in rent right away.
You're not gonna let
a little thing like money stop you, are you?
[Hattie] Rebecca...
Come on.
[both women laugh]
Nash, I saw Sarah reading to Jenny, and it broke my heart
that Jenny couldn't read for herself.
She don't need much schooling on a ranch.
Just because we missed out doesn't mean that our children
shouldn't get some basic learning.
[Tom] Good evening.
[Peggy] Evening.
You don't want your dinner to get cold.
Come on, Tom.
[Tom] You spoil me, Peggy.
Well, you can thank Rebecca for the pie.
Oh.
Really?
All right.
We'll be heading to our place, then.
Okay. Thank you.
You're more than welcome to come over
and have dinner with us, Tom.
As appealing as that sounds, I prefer to be alone
with my thoughts at the end of the day.
All right. Good night.
Oh, uh, the boys are almost finished splitting logs.
We gotta start building those fences.
That's good news.
Good night, Tom.
[Tom] Good night.
[door closes]
Mmm.
[door bell rings]
Clayton. Back so soon?
Yeah, I, uh... I brought you something.
[Olivia] Clayton, it's lovely!
Wow, look at the antlers. Did you carve this?
I got the idea from your drawings.
Well, it just goes to show there's an artist in everyone.
How much do you want for it? I bet we could get 50 cents.
Oh, but, uh...
That one's for you.
Thank you so much. That is so kind of you.
Good morning, Miss Quinn.
Good morning.
Isn't that lovely?
Clayton made it. Isn't he talented?
I'll say.
Reminds me of one on my mother's mantel back in Toronto.
You're from Toronto?
Why would you come all the way out here?
The wide open spaces, of course.
Well, you can have them as far as I'm concerned.
[sighs] What I'd give to be in a real city.
With real shops.
Toronto has plenty of those.
Oh.
Excuse me.
You must be Mr. Williams.
Everybody calls me Vince.
-I'm Rebecca. -Ah.
You're the lady who bought that place.
Go ahead, tell me what a fool I am.
Everyone else has.
Ah, I think you're smart.
Every place I go on my route,
towns are boomin'.
This one's bound to take off, too.
That is music to my ears.
You got your work cut out.
Don't I know it.
I hear you're the man to bring in lumber from Union City.
How much will that cost?
Well, it's a big job.
[Vince] Likely going to be more than 500.
[Rebecca sighs]
Mama, tell me what's wrong.
I wanted to order some lumber from Mr. Williams.
It's more than I expected.
You can't sell your ring.
It's from Papa.
I-I won't. Oh, I won't.
But what are we going to do?
I am going to figure something out.
Swear to the moon.
How are those drawings you're doing for Rebecca coming?
I put the stock away, Mother.
Oh. Well, I'd like
to curl up in that chair right there.
I thought you didn't approve of me wasting my time.
No, I didn't say that.
I didn't mean it.
Is it hard for you...
to be here...
with so little to do?
There's plenty to do.
No, that's not what I mean, um...
If someday you have the chance to do
something bigger with your life, you should...
jump at it.
What was that for?
You sound just like Papa.
Oh.
Mind if I give you a hand?
[Rebecca] I've got it, thank you.
I see that.
Listen, I just wanted to apologize to you again
for making you feel unwelcome here 'cause you're not.
Unwelcome, I mean.
I know what I'm choosing.
And it's worth fighting for.
[Man] Rebecca.
Some of the prospectors want to return these.
They're collecting more at the camp.
Lars, thank you.
Thank you.
I can, uh, help you nail those back on if you want?
Yes, please.
There's more where that came from.
Looks like you're makin' some friends.
I'm gonna make this work.
One board at a time if I have to.
There's no stoppin' a force of nature.
Pardon me?
I said...
I came here
to return the money for the wagon.
I told you I wanted to pay you for your work.
I know. But there's another way.
[knock at door]
Rebecca. Don't tell me you're back for more apples already.
No.
I'm hoping I can give you something
that's going to change your life.
Would you allow me to teach you how to read and write?
I should've thought of it sooner and then Mr. Moore suggested it.
I think it's a great idea.
I think I'm past the ability to learn something--
You're not.
And once you learn,
you can teach your children.
How and when?
I'll come by the ranch a few times a week.
Sarah loves it here anyway.
I'd given up on the idea of ever being able to.
Is that a yes?
Yes.
Good.
[door opens and bell rings]
-[Hattie] Oh, Clayton. -Hattie.
Oh, you've been busy.
So have you.
Rebecca asked me to do them for the boardinghouse.
Tom says that's never gonna happen.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
[Olivia] Oh.
Good afternoon, Constable.
Good afternoon. Mrs. Quinn.
[Hattie] Good afternoon.
Clayton. You make axe handles too?
That's fine work.
Thank you.
Uh, how can we help you, Constable?
I'll take one of those, actually.
And some beef jerky and hard tack, if you could.
Oh. Those sound like trail rations.
That's right. I'm headed out.
Oh, but I thought you were stationed here.
Just part of the time.
The territory I patrol is actually quite large.
-Thank you. -I'll be seeing you.
Safe travels.
Clayton.
[door bell rings]
[door closes]
Well, um... thank you for bringing these by, Clayton.
Have a good day.
[Clayton] Hattie.
[horse whinnies]
I'm thinking if we arrange the parlor like this,
then there might even be room for a piano.
-Oh... -Is this our room?
That's right, and the boarders will sleep upstairs.
It's just like we imagined, Mama.
It is. It is just like we imagined.
I left the prospectors' camp at Stoney Creek,
having attempted to settle a dispute between
Mr. Tom Moore, a rancher,
and a prospector, Mr. Archie Doyle.
The settlers generally seem to be law abiding,
and otherwise, my time there was without incident.
There's only one other individual who seems noteworthy.
Rebecca Clarke.
Are we really safe now, Mama?
Yes, sweetheart.
I think we finally are.
[Alexander] What would possess a woman like her
to travel alone in the wilderness with a child
to start up a boardinghouse?
