With a husband named Horace, what could go wrong?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By the 1950s, the wild west was no longer filled with gunslingers, desperados, and bands of raiding Indians, but it was far from refined, as Bev was learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The smell from the outhouse assaulted Bev as she exited the small cabin she and husband, Horace lived in. Horace promised to take care of the problem. He would make everything smell, \u201cAs sweet as posies.\u201d But, could she trust him?
Little did she know, that the stench from the outhouse was only the beginning of her problems.
