Yes, he thought so; but I believed the glow in his tone was for novels. I extolled the romance of actual life!

"Don't move." My tone was affectionate. "Don't holla, or I'll give you to the crows. Back. Back off this bridge--quick! or I'll--" I pushed the pistol nearer; the danger was no less to him because I was thoroughly frightened.
