| For many 13-year-olds this experience alone would be enough to kick start the holidays but not for Mollie. |
| When the bus makes a scheduled stop in Fairfield where the annual rodeo is in progress, Mollie runs into broncobuster Duke Hudkins. |
| Mollie then left her job to stay at home to make a home life for her father and herself. |
| It was Mollie who advised regarding the purchase of ribbon and crepe paper. |
| They ate in silence, until Mollie, full to bursting with unanswered questions, broke the silence. |
| Mollie died and was buried near Bishop Bompas. |
