Quotes 

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : All I ever wanted was a chance to help you.

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : As a matter of fact, of all my husbands, I think I cared most for him.

  Christopher Hale : All your husbands? You mean...

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : Women are always suspicious when I offer to help. Do you think I've done something wrong?

  Christopher Hale : I'm just trying to tell you what these women feel, Chottsie.

  Chottsie Gubenheimer : But I want you to know how I feel. Do you really think I really did any harm? I offered to help. Sometimes I'm not entirely capable and the men end up helping me. But that makes men feel good. They feel important. They feel sure of themselves. And then they are happy. And when feel that way, they are easier to get along with. So why should the ladies object? In the end I am helping them too.

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : He really did a lot of damage in a short time.

  Jim Bannon : You, you told me there was only one other man. Where'd this one come from?

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : You know I could have married him once. But I had an opportunity to go to New York and I took it. I never stopped to think I might be wrecking his life.

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : I would take anything you have. But once I was travelling and I had the most marvellous thing. I had trout. Fresh trout and, oh, the flavour was wonderful.

• Christopher Hale : A few supplies in here but I think you'll have plenty of room.

  Chottsie Gubenheimer : How convenient if I'm hungry.

  Christopher Hale : No chandeliers or embroidered wall paper.

  Chottsie Gubenheimer : I didn't realise how simple it would be.

  Christopher Hale : Ease and comfort come high when you have to buy them with self-respect.

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : Tonight I'll sleep in those rough blankets. They will seem like eiderdowns.

  Barnaby West : Eiderdowns?

  Chottsie Gubenheimer : Yes, when I was a little girl, my dream of luxury was an eiderdown quilt.

• Chottsie Gubenheimer : I have a personal invitation from the wagonmaster and his promise to protect me from my past.
