Perhaps his success had made him too confident. He longed for more of it. "One more scalp I shall take," he said, "and then I will return to the people."，"Whatever you wish shall be done," says Mona earnestly, knowing she can induce Nicholas to accede to any request of hers.Croaker turned his back and murmured a whole string of "coro-corrs," which to Billy meant just as plain as words could say it that he hadn't the slightest intention of telling anything.
