Upon her return to the table, he could tell by the way she walked that she was not happy, and more then likely angry. For some reason that made him feel strange. It was a combination of worry and happiness. Evidently she may have told Rutherford to go jump off a cliff or something like it. That was confirmed by the man himself when he took a last look into the dinning room and gave Jed a look that if looks could kill it was one of those. The arrival of Mr Rutherford had seemed to spoil Olivia's appetite which put the man on his scumbag list. Jed was beginning to enjoy their meals together. The two young girls and Olivia were pleasant company. Her neices were good mannered and behaved and he liked them. He walked the three to their new house. It was a nice little place and a short walk to the school. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise, meaning someone was watching him. He turned and looked up and noticed that Rutherford was watching from the window of his room. He grinned as he saw the look on the man's face.<br/><br/>He left them at the door of the house and continued to make his rounds. He had to bust up a couple fights at the saloon and the men in those fights didn't want to tangle with him. They had seen how he had handled Red and then the two that tried to mess with Olivia. He was beginning to get a reputation in the town, which was fine by him. That meant less trouble form the locals and they knew they had some one they could depend upon to keep the peace. He spelled Billy for a while so the young man could get himself something decent to eat and the two in the cell kept bugging him about releasing them, that they were sorry and wouldn't do it again. From what he had heard around town the two were not really liked and they were relieved that they were in jail.<br/><br/>The next day when he left the hotel he seen Rutherfort making his way down the street. Word had spread about him and that they thought he was trying to butt into Jed's territory with Miss Webster. Everyone seemed to have a great respect for Jed and in just a short time. One man purposely bumped into Rutherford, hard knocking him down into a pile of horse shit, and continued walking. Jed chuckled at the scene as Rutherford began swearing and as he stood up and noticed the shit on his clothes made a face that almost made Jed laugh. He came back towards the hotel cussing and making bad comments about the people and the town. How inhospitable and uncivilized the place was. Jed continued walking and saw the man that had bumped into Rutherford and tipped his hat at the man which made the man smile and do the same to Jed. He saw Olivia down by the school house watching and wondered what she thought of the incident. He remembered to that he wanted to give her lessons in shooting and riding, and not the lady like type riding that was good for social type riding. She would have to have more proper clothing for that. He made his way towards her to talk to her about it before she started her classes.
