Suddenly the widow looked up and spoke in a voice hoarser than before. "I see what he means. He enjoys keeping you both at his mercy. It's like an animal that has tasted blood and if his desire is balked, he'll revenge himself in the other way." "You think he has gone to Denzil?" "Very likely. If not to-night, he will to-morrow. Will Mr. Quarrier pay him again, do you think?"
"We'll get that fellow now, because before the next rodeo he'll be big enough to leave his mother, and then; if he isn't branded, he'll be a maverick, and will belong to anybody that puts an iron on him." "But couldn't someone brand him now, with their brand, and drive him away from his mother?" asked Patches.
I s'pose he'll give her a thousand a year; he's got nobody else to leave his money to." He stretched out his hand to meet that of a dapper, clean-shaven man, with hardly a hair on his head, a long, broken nose, full lips, and cold grey eyes under rectangular brows.

He'll keep you and give you to me when the time comes. It all may mean suffering to us both, probably does, but I accept the cup in His good time," and as he spoke he looked again into my eyes with a lonely sadness that I could not endure. "I want to get away from you," I gasped and I felt that I must get out of the aloneness with him.
"I s'pose yer mean that you're goin' ter pay somethin' ter be let go free," observed the villain, after thinking a minute or two.
