I guess you can't ever feel just alone now whatever happens." Keeko's eyes were very soft, very tender as she looked up into Marcel's face. "It's good to hear that. It's good to feel that," she said gently. "And I do feel it," she added with a deep sigh.
"I'm going to hire, or, rather, I'm going to try to hire a man I believe is just as tough, just as clever, just as quick with his gun as the men who've been robbing the Dixie Queen.
