Front-Ranger:
Has anyone guessed yet who the Virginian is for me??
Yes, he's my own Virginian, the one I met 26 years ago and married.
Yes, he's my dear friend whom I've just come to know.
Yes, he's the one I spent time with a long time ago, and have lost track of, but will never forget.
And yes, he's all of you!
Who is your Virginian??

Chapter 16. The Game and the Nation—Last Act
Continuing with the snake stories. One of the cowpokes swears that when his thumb was bit by a snake, a woman pulled a magical stone out of a pouch that, when placed on the wound, sucked the poison out. He maintained that the stone was taken from an elk’s stomach. While these tall tales were being told, Trampas was biding his time, thinking he could easily steal most of the men away from the Virginian. But, as the train is stalled, TV begins his tall tale. It is all about the lively, hopping market in – who would have guessed – frog’s legs. This story is a true tour de force, sucking its audience in until – surprise! It’s too late to catch the train to Rawhide!! The Virginian has struck another victory!
