"Yes," said Jean simply, remembering last night when she had pulled the blanket over her head. "Well, you think of that time you were scared. And you make yourself think that you're going to shoot the thing that scared you. You don't put in half the punch when you shoot blanks; I've noticed that all along. So that's why you shoot a bullet.

Honest, now, pard, if it weren't that I knew you were a genuine gold-mounted hero I'd sure think you was a scared man.'
"I never said nothin'. The scenery and me was just turnin' the mark buoy on our fourth lap. "'Dear me, pard!' continues Billings. 'I sure hope I ain't scared you none. We come down a little slow this evenin', but to-morrow night, when I take you back home, I'll let the old girl out a little.'
"I sensed some of that. And as the shanty had about come to anchor, I answered and spoke my mind. "'When you take me back home!' I says. 'When you do!英文原著 · 《The Depot Master》
