If he liked the farm as well as his memory promised him he would do, he would bid it in himself. It would make Neil Jameson turn in his grave if the penniless lad he had jeered at came into the possession of his old ancestral property that had been owned by a Jameson for over one hundred years. There was a flavour in such a revenge that pleased Robert Turner.

I got all day to this job, but I aim to do it thorough," jeered Clanton. A bullet flattened itself against the rock wall ten feet below the boy.
