Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll
MaineWriter:
Chapter 24:
“Bye, Chief… bye… Ennis,” he said, and Ennis looked up, startled. “You ain’t bad lookin neither,” he said, and then Joe closed the door.
“See?” Ennis said.
“What?” Ellery set down his beer.
“He said, ‘you ain’t bad lookin neither.’ That means compared ta you.”
“It’s the hair, Ennis.”
“So if I grow my hair long like that all those young boys will start droolin after me like he’s droolin? That boy came by so he could make some time with you, an you know it.”
“Maybe.” Ellery walked out of the kitchen and moved the curtain slightly, watching Joe drive off with Sevigny in the back seat of his cruiser.

Chapter 24:
“You weren’t gonna have em arrested were ya?”
“I wanted to, that is probably why Wes sent Joe. He knows Joe would talk me out of it if I did anythin rash.”
“You do need a vacation then. We should go up higher, take the weekend, go ta Medicine Bow, Fort Laramie, something.”
“With you like that? Ennis, come on.”
“Or go wadin in the river, that won’t be too much trouble.”
“Wadin in the river sounds nice. Makin love in the tent, with me tied up in that lariat….” Ellery reached for his cigars.
“You are one horny sumbitch, Ellery.”
“Only when I’m in love, Ennis.”

Chapter 25, Ellery and his diet...LOL
Ellery turned, leaning against the counter, and gave Joe a look. “Did that guy seem too nervous ta you?”
Joe shrugged. “It might be your witherin look, Ellery. You do still have an attitude on ya.”
“Somebody forged my fuckin signature ta check out that rifle, Joe. I wasn’t even in the county that day.”
“Good thing, wouldn’t want someone forgin yer signature with you standin by watchin em.”
“Oh, fuck off will ya?”
“You need a change a diet. Getting enough vegetables? Maybe some bulk.”
“I get plenty a bulk, I take it in liquid form.”
Joe shook his head. “I do not need ta interpret that remark.”
“No, you don’t.”

Yeah, Ellery and his diet - bulk in liquid form and homemade baked goods sliding down his throat - that boy sure is a caution! :laugh:
