But she wheeled and laid a hand in protest on his arm. "No!" she exclaimed tensely. "No, this is where I belong." After a moment she went on. "Life holds enough for me here. This is home to me. I don't want anything else." "I am glad. It's what I hoped to hear you say," he responded.
"Shut up!" flared Bert, but this time he waited, afraid to try to hit his opponent until Dick was on his feet. "Can't Dodge run his own fight, hang you?" Bayliss demanded. This was the first word he had had the courage to utter. Quick as a flash Dave wheeled, running toward Dodge's companion. "This isn't wholly Dodge's fight, Bayliss," Darry cried, his anger at a white heat.
It was good of you not to say anything about her, and if I ever get a chance I'll show you that you and your maw have been thinking hard of me without a cause."
