"I ain't ever seen you hit anything but a woman, an' a girl, or some poor animal that didn't dare bite back. You're a coward, Jed Hawkins, a low-down, sneakin, whiskey-sellin' coward and you oughta die!" Even Peter sensed the cataclysmic change that had come in this moment between the two big rocks.
