He proclaimed - because she’d risked her life, it meant she loved him - and that he wouldn’t rest ‘til she agreed to be his bride! “Haven’t got the time right now to tell ya’ all the tales about how Gitter touched the lives of folks throughout the years… But I can guarantee ya’, sonny…even Reverend Baxter isn’t more respected than your daddy by his peers! “Like I told ya’…all ya’ had to do to get this job was bring to my attention that your pop is Gitter Dunn, And you should be the proudest kid in Pinkerton, young man. Proud o’ what your father’s done.....and proud to be his son!”
