"So I came. But you're afraid of him of that breed, that vest-pocket killer. And you're afraid of me, a woman whose cards are all on the table. There isn't a one of you even you, Mr. Beeson, sir, whom I tried to befriend although you may not know it." And she turned upon me. "You have not a word to say. I am never going back, I tell you all. You won't take me, any of you? Very well."
The retirement of Sunday is no choice, it means walking, it means a return, it means scaling the season in between wet weather and sunshine. A hurt stove and a certain cure this makes a doubt that is perfect. Likely to be very likely to be copied, any little thing has no name. Pain killer and a husband cleaner, any little place is the same as empty.
"But a sling-shot, at least of course you carry a fine sling-shot around with you?" "No, nor a sling-shot." The giant extended his arms with a candid gesture, so that Jack might see he was wholly unarmed. Then a very amazing thing happened. Jack the Giant Killer suddenly uttered a cry of triumph.

Madame Killer is wealthy, and nobody cares about the way she has obtained her wealth.

It occurred to him that he was in a state of needing to be befriended by a serial killer and he laughed. "What's funny?" "Nothing." He smiled. "What?" "Just the crazy thoughts in one's head. That's all," he responded evasively.
He had believed that he had the Sawtooth killer under observation, and he had been watching and waiting for evidence that would impress a grand jury. And all the while he had let Al Woodruff ride free and unsuspected. The one stupid thing, in Swan's opinion, which he had not done was to let Lone go on holding his tongue. He had forced the issue that morning.
And from the fear-stricken, jungle-lurking, cave-haunting creature of long ago, he won to empery over the whole animal world because he developed into the most terrible and awful killer of all the animals.
