True Grit: part 4
Mattie has approached Rooster Cogburn about pursuing Tom Chaney, the man who killed her father, into the wilderness of the Choctaw Nation. Rooster has turned her down, but that doesn’t mean much to someone like Mattie.
On her way back to the boarding house, she finds a mysterious, vaguely threatening stranger waiting for her. He glowers at her from the porch, then camps out in her bedroom. This turns out to be LaBoeuf, a Texas Ranger who is also looking for Chaney, who, in addition to killing Mattie’s father, has also killed a Texas state senator.
