Now, merely to prove that I have both the inclination and power to carry out my threat, I will have you shot. Lope! Garzo!" Two of the ragged bandits immediately appeared.

Can you not see bodies of red-coats?

With a deftness, born it must be confessed of previous practice, he balanced the case on the rim so that the first lurch of the train catapulted the thing down squarely on the woman's hat, snapping a shiny, hard black quill in two.
As I gave her the knife she turned it over, examining it with a peculiar expression, bewilderment rather than surprise. But she said nothing.
