And follows them.Follows them, that is, until she meets Marion "Shot" Beatty, youngest of the Beatty brothers.By the end of the story, Lily has forsaken all that for the love of Shot Beatty and an unknown future - one that included a pistol in Lily's skirt pocket.Lily's telling of this tale is characterized by her spirit, her will, her fearlessness, and the endearing gullibility of youth.
