"Whatever faults she may have, she's been loyal to me, and honest.

Look how she stuck last winter, when she didn't have anything at stake, wasn't getting any salary, and yet worked like a dog to help make the picture a success.

Look how she got up in the night when the blizzard struck, and fed our horses and cooked breakfast of her own accord, just so I could get out early and get my scenes.

I've known her since she was a dirty-faced papoose, and I never knew her to lie or steal.

She wasn't in on that robbery--I'll bank on that, and she wouldn't go off with a thief.
