Burning with rage the Slasher returned to the charge, whereupon the defender of La Goualeuse showered upon the cut-throat's head a succession of blows so weighty and crushing and so completely out of the French mode of fighting that the Slasher was mentally as well as bodily stunned by them and gave up, muttering, "I'm floored.
Even if she took the car, she would be obliged to carry it a portion of the way, and she felt that it would overtask her strength. "Don't you send bundles?" she asked.
