He went straight to the counter and asked for matches, and as the storekeeper, still keeping half an eye upon the formidable figure of Larrimer, turned for the matches, Denver spoke softly from the side of his mouth to Terry only in the lockstep line of the prison do they learn to talk in this manner gauging the carrying power of the whisper with nice accuracy. "That bird's after you.
"Oh, man, man! Did he do for Larrimer? And I ain't spoiling his story. He won't talk about it. Wouldn't open his face about it all the way home. A pretty neat play, boys. Larrimer was looking for a rep, and he wanted to make it on Black Jack's son. Came tearing in. "At first Terry tried to sidestep him. Made me weak inside for a minute because I thought he was going to take water.
The sheriff groaned, rose, paced the room, and then slumped into a chair. "Tell Bud Larrimer I want to see him," he said. The following letter, which was received at the house of Joe Pollard, was indeed a gem of English: MR. TERRY BLACK JACK: Sir, I got this to say.
He started toward the door, taking care not to walk hastily enough to draw suspicion on him because of his withdrawal, but to the heated brain of Larrimer all things were suspicious. His long arm darted out as Terry passed him; he jerked the smaller man violently back. "Wait a minute. I don't know you, kid. Maybe you got the information I want?" "I'm afraid not." Terry blinked.
And then it snapped in Terry, that last restraint which had been at the breaking-point all this time. He felt a warmth run through him the warmth of strength and the cold of a mysterious and evil happiness. "Wait, Larrimer!" The big man whirled as though he had heard a gun; there was a ring in the voice of Terry like the ring down the barrel of a shotgun after it has been cocked.
"I should dread a palace, chèrie," said the latter, then turned to the young husband of her daughter, whom she loved as a son. "We've had no mine and thine so far, Larrimer, and we won't begin now." "Oh!" was Camille's outburst, "how perfectly charming it is to have it come from Joyce. If it was anybody else mother could never be induced to take it.
I was also involved at that time I find it hard to place these things in the exact order of their dates because they were so disconnected with the regular progress of my work and life in an intrigue, a clumsy, sensuous, pretentious, artificially stimulated intrigue, with a Mrs. Larrimer, a woman living separated from her husband.
That fierce, low voice reached the ear of Terry, and he understood that it meant Baldwin had judged him as the whole world judged him. After all, what difference did it make whether he killed or not? He was already damned as a slayer of men by the name of his father before him. Larrimer had turned with a roar. "What d'you mean by stopping me, Bill? What in hell d'you mean by it?"
Face me squarely, will you? Your head up, and your hands ready." In spite of his rage and wonder, Larrimer instinctively obeyed, for the words came snapping out like military commands. "Now I'll tell you. You manhunting cur, I'm going to send you to hell with your sins on your head. I'm going to kill you, Larrimer!"
"And risk Terry getting his head blown off?" "If he can't beat Larrimer, he's no use to us; if he kills Larrimer, it's good riddance. The kid is going to get bumped off sometime, anyway. He's bad all the way through." Pollard looked with a sort of wonder on his companion. "You're a nice, kind sort of a gent, ain't you, Denver?" "I'm a moneymaker," asserted Denver coldly.
