The ways of God are inscrutable.
I've been twenty years tryin' to atone for the wrong I did Collie's mother.

I've been a prospector for the trouble of others.

I've been a bearer of their burdens.

An' if I can save Collie's happiness an' her soul, I reckon I won't be denied the peace of meetin' her mother in the other world....

I recognized Collie the moment I laid eyes on her.
