Question
As I'd told my daddy, Mitchell was good with horses. He couldn't sit a horse well, but he could care for them well, and he was reliable. I didn't figure I was taking much of a risk in talking to my daddy about him. Only thing that might get both Mitchell and me into trouble with my daddy down the road was Mitchell's temper, so I warned Mitchell my daddy was going to be watching him.
