Mattie Ross If in four months I could not find Tom Chaney, with a mark on his face like banished Cain, I would not advise others how to do so. Mattie Ross I also notice that the men of Texas gouge their mounts with great brutal spurs and cultivate their hair like lettuce! Mattie Ross I want Tom Chaney hanged for killing my father! It's little to me how many dogs and senators he's killed in Texas.
