<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City><st1:place>Kansas City</st1:place></st1:City> pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with the most to worry about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>She’s been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-on year old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The belligerent cowhand is tight behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking,
all the way to <st1:State><st1:place>Montana</st1:place></st1:State>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even as she’s ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, “Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I’m gonna end up in Montana…”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the café and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-aged scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the café also gets her first taste of romance.<o:p></o:p></P>
