“Ma’am?” I said. “Mattie? I think I’d better get going. Glad your little girl is all right.” The minute it was out, I felt an almost irresistible urge to laugh. I could picture me drawling this speech to Mattie (a name that belonged in a movie like The Unforgiven or True Grit if any name ever did) with my thumbs hooked into the belt of my chaps and my Stetson pushed back to reveal my noble brow. I felt an insane urge to add, “You’re right purty, ma’am, ain’t you the new schoolmarm?”
