The Coens also added the segment's opening Grandma Turner/True Grit riff The characterization of Walter/Mr. Arthur remains unchanged. These excerpts about him bashfully killing the Girl's annoying fiancé & his fear of saying leg in front of her feel like Coen flourishes, though they're from White..

The biggest difference is the characterization of the titular Girl/Gal. In the film, she's essentially innocent & traveling with her idiot brother to Oregon. In the story, she's a spoiled Easterner who's traveling with her equally spoiled fiancé to Deadwood...

The Gal Who Got Rattled segment from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is based on Stewart Edward White's 1901 short story The Girl Who Got Rattled. You can read the original in this thread, or, if you're lazy, you can just read my summary of the major differences between the two... 🧵
