When a true “snake-oil” salesman comes to Dry Gables to peddle his patented cure-all rattlesnake liniment, Liesl Hertz gets very upset. She feels like the town is entertaining chicanery with this peddler and takes offense at their interest in him. Luckily, her husband helps her identify her feelings and make room for them so she can be clear and more up front about what she chooses to do next.
