You can take my shotgun, Ruth, but be careful that you don't shoot yourself instead of the squirrel." "Oh, I know how to shoot, Uncle Joe; don't worry," she declared. "Let's go as soon as we get our dinner, Bob," she said enthusiastically. When they had finished, Bob got two turtle lines and hooks from the woodshed and the double-barrel gun and four shells.
The cacique would smile, proud, at bottom, that all men should know that such exploits were possible for a man at his age. He had enough strength left for one more caress the day when, escorted by don Andrés, Rafael entered with his degree as a Doctor of Law. He gave the boy his shotgun a veritable jewel, the admiration of the entire District and a magnificent horse.
They wrote him and he said he was coming, so I ran away. It was all his fault, too; he had no business to send me back again when he knew how I hated it. I told him he'd be sorry."

Jackson quietly rose and kicked the shotgun back farther from the edge. Woodhull now was near to Banion's horse, which, after his fashion, always came and stood close to his master. The butts of the two dragoon revolvers showed in their holsters at the saddle. When he rose from the muddy margin, shaking his hands as to dry them, he walked toward the horse.
Upon being questioned by the judge he admitted recognizing a shotgun, and three buckshot which had been extracted from his leg; but in a voluntary statement he expressed the opinion that the defendant was hardly responsible.
