"How about it?" he demanded. "You said you'd back me up. How do I know I can count on you not knifing me?" "You have my word," replied Lennon, striving hard to repress his eagerness. The irregular firing up the valley became more rapid. Slade scowled and thrust out Lennon's high-power rifle. "It's a go that new deal. Take your belt, too.

She raised herself, and took up her gloves that were lying on the little table beside her sofa. 'You see' she said, talking very fast 'I am an Englishwoman, and my race is not a docile one.

'Don't care, you mean. We've got a nice little 'ome, and, just because I've 'ad to leave it and lay low for a bit for knifing a man, she takes advantage of it. And it ain't the fust time, neither.

"Let me up!" she repeated wildly. "Let me up, I tell you." "Like blazes I will. You're through biting and knifing me for one night."
