Texan Millionaire:
[the Texan approaches Father Brown and Lady Warren as they attempt to spot Flambeau among the bidders]
Lady Warren? I am Sam Johnson out of San Antonio, Texas. If isn't often we from Texas get a chance to shake a real, live lady by the hand now!
Lady Warren:
It isn't often that we in London have the privilege of of meeting a real, live Texan.
Texan Millionaire:
You sure talk like a lady. You know, I've come five thousand miles to buy this set of yours. It'll go well down on my ranch.
Lady Warren:
Will it really?
Texan Millionaire:
Yeah ma'am. I've got myself a real swell games room. Solid gold poker chips, solid gold checkers, and a solid gold ping pong table.
Lady Warren:
With solid gold ping pong balls?
Texan Millionaire:
No ma'am. They wouldn't bounce. Well, better get set to rope this steer.
[He goes to his seat]
Lady Warren:
I feared for a moment he was going to take my hand back to Texas with him, even though it isn't made of gold.
Father Brown:
I doubt if even Flambeau could have invented him.
