Jack said.
"The price of the diamond is two hundred pounds." Staines groaned with disappointment, and thought to himself with rage, "Anybody but me would club the rifle, give the obstinate black brute a stunner, and take the diamond God forgive me!"

I'll take your charge, and lock him up." "Darby," said Mr. Gray, now approaching that worthy, "a single word with you we understand one another I intended to bribe old Ned, the villain; but you shall have it."

Lord Scamperdale stands with his hand on the horse's mane, talking earnestly to Jack, doubtless giving him his final instructions.
Chambriss carried a needler, Starns was unarmed except for a small protection stunner, his tri-dee box slung on his chest by well-worn carrying straps.

"Gad, but you're a stunner!" he exclaimed. "I'm glad we met here." She brought her whip with a biting cut around the wrist that held her bridle. Drazk winced, but did not let go. "Jus' for that, young Y.D.," he hissed, "jus' for that we drop all formalities, so to speak." With a dexterous spurring he brought his horse alongside and threw an arm about Zen before she could beat him off.
Trigger spun the Denton to its stunner setting and laid it back inside the slit which had appeared along the side of the porgee pouch.
