Lureen and Fayette Newsome watched with bated breath as their husbands threw twin hissy fits in the service of the proper parenting of male offspring.

The gossipy bartender spoke informatively on Lureen Newsome's father:  "Her dad sells farm equipment.  I mean big farm equipment.  Hundred-thousand-dollar tractors, shit like that."

Lureen Newsome felt that Jack merited a closer look which prompted her to ask him: "What are you waitin' for, cowboy, a matin' call?"

Lureen Newsome would nitpick her way through the business, always hunting for extra zeroes.

Lureen Newsome oozes confidence when she walks up to Jack and says, "What are you waiting for, cowboy. . .a matin' call?"

The gossipy bartender gave Jack the lowdown on Lureen Newsome's father's prosperous business:  "Her dad sells farm equipment.  I mean big farm equipment.  Hundred-thousand-dollar tractors, shit like that."

"S" is showed

Down in Texas Jack's father-in-law died and Lureen, who inherited the farm equipment business, showed a skill for management and hard deals. Jack found himself with a vague managerial title, traveling to stock and agricultural machinery shows. He had some money now and found ways to spend it on his buying trips. A little Texas accent flavored his sentences, "cow" twisted into "kyow" and "wife" coming out as "waf." He'd had his front teeth filed down and capped, said he'd felt no pain, and to finish the job grew a heavy mustache.

The gossipy bartender told Jack about L.D. Newsome's farm equipment business, which would eventually turn into Jack's meal ticket.
