"I am. After excitement, you know." "Ain't you finding enough?" "I've got two things ahead of me." "Well?" "This trip, and when I come back I think making love to you would be more exciting than gun-plays." They regarded each other with bantering smiles. "A tenderfoot like you make love to me? That would be exciting, all right, if it wasn't so funny."
Bruce said furiously. "The days of gun-plays have gone by," Sprudell reminded him. "And you haven't got the price to fight me in the courts. You'd better lay down before you start and save yourself the worry. What can you do?
