Charles Bushman:
There was a young man by the name of John Leggit Hunter who ran a filling station business, a good filling station business and he's one of these young men we meet in life, I'm sure you've met some like him, who did not deserve what he had and what he had was a beautiful young bride named Sarah. She was a Georgia peach. In fact, she was the picture I had in my mind of the perfect woman so I took it upon myself to take her away from John Leggit Hunter who did not deserve her.

It took a lot of strong nylon cord to get her away from him because she was a fighter as well as being a Georgia peach.
