"You shot at me, didn't you?"
"Yes; and will do it again, too."
"I don't think it was the right thing. I wouldn't do it to you."
"Because you are afraid."
"No,—I don't think I would."
"Well, what of it?"
"I s'pose you didn't do it on purpose, and I won't say anything about it this time. But you mustn't do it again."
"Yes I will, if I want to. I shot at you, and am sorry I didn't hit you. Come, I thought you was going to whip me."
"Yes, Jenkins, give it to him. You said you were going to," cried the others.
"I don't s'pose he done it on purpose," he replied, turning toward the others.
