“You’re going to hear what I’ve got to say.”
“You bully!”
“I’ll tell what I know—Miss Hold-up.”
He laughed harshly, his narrowed eyes watching her closely. “If you throw me down now, I’ll ce’tainly tell it. Be reasonable, girl.”
“Let go my rein!”
“I’ve had enough of this. Tumble off that horse, or I’ll pull you off.”
Her dark eyes flashed scorn of him. “You coward! Do you think I’m afraid of you? Stand back!”
The man looked long at her, his teeth set; then caught at her strong little wrist. With a quick wrench she freed it, her eyes glowing like live coals.
