That leaves just the two of us, Purdy,

I told you you was a fool not to shoot while you had the chance. I'm goin' to get you, now. But, seein' that you wasn't in no hurry about it, I won't be neither. There's quite a few things I want you to hear--things you ought to know for the good of your soul.

You don't dast to git me! came exultingly, from behind Purdy's rock,
gpt
Say, Purdy, you wouldn't do that! Wouldn't let a woman die like that without tellin' where she is.

human
You don't dast to git me--an' leave her where she's at!

Why, even Long Bill Kearney was a man fer about a second before he died.
human
What do you mean--Long Bill--died?
gpt

Pretty fair shootin', Purdy, he drawled,
