“The prince of the ranch”
“He moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty”
Slim as a very practical man
“I drowned four of ‘em right off.”
Slim as the highest social authority on the ranch
“Slim’s opinions were law”
Slim as wise, loneliness on the ranch
“Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other”
Slim as perfect and skillful
“Jerkline skinner”
Slim is the only one who understands George
“You hadda, George. I swear you hadda.”
