Abner’s father is expected in Pine Ridge any day, but he hasn’t arrived yet. Today we find Lum on the phone, taking orders. The beaded handbags are a way of Phinus being helpful, but it only stirs up trouble. What will the gents do with all the beaded handbags? Will there be conflict with Lizabeth over the bags, or with Phinus.
Where will Phinus stay while he’s in town? Abner doesn’t want him, but trying to pawn him off on Lum doesn’t sit well with Lum. As crazy about each other as Abner claims. somehow Lizabeth and his poppa just can’t get along. Even after the farm tools to help her get along, Abner can’t figure why she won’t cooperate.
Abner tells some of the things his poppa does that drives Lizabeth nuts. Just thinking of the potential conflict has him all choked up. In his mind, he already has her packed up, and moving to her brother’s down in Texas for the duration.
