The shot which had dismounted him had hit the pony in one of the hind legs and had broken it.,"Why in the world didn't she say so before?" cried Griffin indignantly. "She had a chance to defend herself. We're not absolutely inhuman."，And languish into soft decay.，“You’d have done the same thing for me,” returned Bob, anxious to get off the subject. “Let’s talk about the dam site.”，There is a pause. In shrinking doubt she awaits the moment that shall make him take advantage of her words. But that moment never comes. In vain she waits.
