Now we'll hear the story of her life," laughed big Sam, his mouth full of bacon and bread. Rosalie flushed and the tears welled to her eyes. All day long she suffered taunts and gibes from the gang. She grew to fear Davy's ugly leers more than the brutal words of the others.
The beating hoofs of the posse as they raced towards him made a growing murmur through the clear air. Barry glanced towards them with a consummate loathing.
