- Ma Forrester tells her boys to wash their dishes, which they do! Jody is shocked.
- Then they all settle down to listen to Penny's hunting story.
- Penny knows how to make his stories spellbinding, and the Forresters are riveted. It was so good, it was like a "magic, that held these huge hairy men eager and breathless" (7.15). (Hee-hee. Hairy.)
- Afterwards, Lem insists on trading Penny a new gun for his dog.
- Penny protests, but Lem says he'll come steal him if he won't trade, so he agrees. (Yes!)
- They all tell stories now about Slewfoot, and Buck Forrester even fixes Penny's old gun for him, too.
- Finally, Penny says it's time to go, but Jody decides to spend the night.
- Fodder-wing tells Jody that he's seen a Spaniard on a black horse riding by the Baxter's sinkhole, which totally freaks Jody out.
- They go to bed, but not for long—the dogs start chasing something through the house, and all seven Forrester boys are running with them, buck naked.
- Okay, is it just us, or is that weird?
- To add to the weirdness, they all decide to stay up and play the fiddle—still naked.
- So basically, Jody is at a nudist party, singing and laughing, while Ma Forrester cooks them a super-early bird special breakfast.
- This situation has rapidly moved from weird to awesome.
- Lem mentions to Jody that he wishes his girlfriend, Twink Weatherby, was there to dance with him.
- Um, we're betting she's pretty glad she's not there right now.
- Jody tells him that Twink is Oliver's girlfriend, and Lem threatens to rip his tongue out. Yikes. Sounds like someone needs a nap.
- Finally, Buck takes Jody home once breakfast is over. With clothes on.
