Unforgiven Scene 4 Summary

  • Davey and Mike are leading a bunch of ponies into Big Whiskey. It must be spring now.
  • They approach a house. Most of the women from the brothel are standing outside, including Delilah, whose wounds have healed.
  • They all watch the men pass.
  • Skinny meets them, and makes a few wise cracks.
  • He orders the horses sent to the livery (i.e. the stable). He tries to take a horse from Davey, but Davey refuses to give it to him. The two he's been required to give are already in the livery with the others,
  • Just then, the women start throwing hunks of dirt at the cowboys, and run them off.
  • Quick Mike leaves, but Davey stays behind. The horse he refused to give to Skinny is for Delilah.
  • "She's the best of the lot," he says.
  • The girls refuse the man's gift, and run him off. They're insulted by the offer.
