Then he could only pray for courage to attack. But the effect of the sheriff's little gunplay entirely disheartened Bull at the prospect of facing Pete. With a noncommittal rejoinder he started down the road, and the sheriff put the spurs to his horse and plunged by at a full gallop, flinging the dust back into the face of the big man. Bull wiped it out of his eyes and went on gloomily.

"Bartender, will you help me play a little joke on His Honore, the Town, just a little harmless joke?" "Well, that all depends whether the joke is harmless on me. You see, he can shoot like the devil he allus knows when a man is going to draw, an' gets his gun out first. I ain't got no respect for him, but I take off my hat to his gunplay, all right." The stranger smiled.
But before the limp body of the fugitive had stopped rolling, Elizabeth Cornish dropped into a chair, sick of face. Her brother turned his back on the mob that closed over the dead man and looked at Elizabeth in alarm. It was not the first time he had seen the result of a gunplay, and for that matter it was not the first time for Elizabeth.
Slowly, reluctantly, fighting himself as he did it, he shoved his revolver back into his holster and determined to take the chance of that surprise attack, with his empty hands against their guns.

"Put 'em up!" admonished Billy, "and listen to me. This ain't no time fer gunplay or no such foolishness. I ain't back here to be took get that out o' your nut. I'm tipped off that a bunch o' siwashes was down here last night to swipe Miss Harding. Come! We gotta go see if she's here or not, an' don't try any funny business on me, Eddie.
Go get your Injuns. It will be all right with me." Webb drew a breath of relief. There was to be no gunplay after all. He had had his own reasons for not interfering sooner, but he knew that the situation had just grazed red tragedy. "I'm goin' to take the boy's advice," he announced to Yankie. "Ride forward an' swing the herd toward that big red butte.

He's too full of gunplay that fellow excuse the idiom, but I was in the same tailor's shop at Portland Gaol as Ned Garrand, the Yankee bank-smasher." Van Heerden made a gesture of impatience. "About old Heyler," Milsom went on, "I know you think he's dangerous, so I've kept him here.
And if all this is leading up to a gunplay, by God, gents, the minute a gun comes into my hand I shoot to kill, mark you that, and don't you never forget it!" Mr. Gainor had remained with his hand raised during this outbreak. Now he turned to Terry. "You have heard?" he said. "I think the sheriff is going quite a way toward you, Mr. Colby." "Hollis!" gasped Terry. "Hollis is the name, sir!"
Reg'lar brute, he is, and a temper " That gets him stary eyed. "You you don't mean," says he, "that " "Uh-huh!" says I. "You know you and the young lady was some conspicuous. There's been talk all round the room. They've both heard, and they're beefin' something awful. Course I ain't sayin' they'll spring any gunplay right in the house; but why, what's wrong, Skeet?"
