"What then? What had I ever done to you that you should be after me?"
"I wa'n't after you."
"You were. You tried to kill me. You've cut my head open and no thanks to you that you didn't kill me."
"'T wa'n't me. 'T was that other fellow, the skunk that runned away and left me."
"What's his name?"
"I don' know. I never seen him before."
"What are you lying to me for? What's his name and why was he after me? Tell me and I'll let you go—otherwise—I'll give you to the police."
"I'll tell you this—he's a friend of a man you know."
"Of a man I know? Who?"
