"Tie you to a tree an' throw knives at you till you weaken an' tell 'em where the stuff's hid. That's what they did to Trigger Finger.",Elinor laughed and patted the slender hand that pressed the table with such nervous force.，Not a word was spoken till the door opened again, and Griffin with Doris Leighton and Miss Green came quickly in.，Billy was off, fear lending fleetness to feet that a moment before had been leaden. He overtook his mother and Jean in the path to the Lodge. “Have you come for her?” he panted. “Do you think she’s alone still?”，"Ah! that is because you are a man, and because you love me," says this astute reader of humanity.
