Lawler made a horrible grimace at Givens. "Get out of here, damn you!" he said. "Go out and take care of her horse anything! If you are in here when she wakes up, I'll kill you!
Link was still on the floor when Givens leaped into the cabin. He held a heavy piece of cordwood in one hand, and as he entered the door he paused for an instant, plainly blinded by the light and the snow. His face was hideous with passion. Until now, the lamp had been fluttering in the rush of wind.
