“The trouble is,” Reber was speaking, “yo’re all afraid of Jack Silver.”
June turned quickly to Reber.
“I’m not,” she declared.
Reber smiled at her.
“You’re not, June?”
“Not a bit. I’ll bet I could trap him.”
Several of the men laughed aloud.
“He’d steal you,” declared McLeese, and then laughed at his own statement.
“You think you could, eh?” said Reber slowly. “I wonder.”
“Ridiculous,” declared Jackson.
