"No. They did have it out, like schoolboys behind a barn. Do you suppose that'll ever do for a man of spirit like Sam Woodhull? No, there's other ways. And as I said, it's a far ways from the law out here, and getting farther every day, and wilder and wilder every day. It's only putting it off, Molly, but on the whole I was glad when Banion said he'd give up looking for Sam Woodhull this morning and go on back to his own men."
"Did he say he'd give it up?"
[pg 155]
"Yes, he did. He said if I'd wait I'd see different. Said he could wait--said he was good at waiting."
"But he didn't say he'd give it up?"
"I don't know as he did in so many words."
"He won't," said Molly Wingate.
