"That face'll stand a lot of pummelin'," Billy told himself, and as he noted the heavy chin, thrust antagonistically forward, "no use bruisin' my knuckles on that," he decided. "We must defy every chance in our determination to recover my child," answered her brother. "An' if we do," asked Billy eagerly, "will you agree to use your power to help us find the money an' will?"
