I says, says I, 'phwat he starts he'll finish if he has ter clane up the whole uv France. That's phwat I said. I says if he makes a bull he'll turrn the whole wurrld upside down to straighten things out. I got yer number all roight, Tommy. Get along witcher upstairs and take the advice of Doctor Pete Connegan get out amongst them kids more."
Filthy little hoodlum that he was, instead of running when Pete Connegan got down out of his truck and started after him, he turned and compressed his big mouth and stood there upon his two bare feet, waiting. It was Tom Slade all over Barrel Alley or No Man's Land he didn't run. The slime of the tomato has long since been washed off Pete Connegan's face and the tomato is forgotten.
"'Cause I ain't a goin' ter run, that's why," Tom had said. Strange to relate, Pete Connegan did not kill him. For a moment he stood staring at his ragged assailant and then he said, "Be gorry, ye got some nerve, annyhow." "If I done a thing I'd see it through, I would; I ain't scared," Tom had answered.
It would have been a lucky thing for Tom, and for everybody concerned, if Mr. Ellsworth, scoutmaster, had been at home instead of away on a business trip; for he would have understood. But of course, things couldn't have gone that way not with Lucky Luke. But there was one lucky thing that Tom had done, once upon a time. He had hit Pete Connegan plunk on the head with a rotten tomato.
