“Funny aint it. Here I am worrying about a woman. Men dont worry much about women when theyre around. But when it gets way off from home like we are now, and where he knows hes going a lot further away ... I mean thats when a woman gets workin in your mind. You reckon youre a fool for not noticin before how, how big a part of things they be. There aint nothin like seein a womans face.”
