He got two, he whispered, with grim approval.

An' he got 'em right out in the open. They must have seen him comin' an' laid for him before he got to their hang-out.
human
Hey, Tex, called Purdy after a long interval,
gpt
No--_we_ ain't goin' to git _one another_--but _I'm_ goin' to get _you_--like that! He fired as he spoke and his bullet chipped the rock and tore through Purdy's hat brim.
human
Missed, By Grab! But, that pays up for puttin' a hole in my shirt. You was a fool for fallin' for that old gag I put over on you!
gpt
An' I wouldn't of fell fer it neither, if it hadn't of be'n fer luck--you outlucked me--if you'd of said anyone else except Cass, I wouldn't of fell fer it.
human
That wasn't luck, Purdy--that was brains. If I figured on murderin' a man tonight--an' he knew it--do you suppose I wouldn't jump quick if I thought he was sneakin' up behind me with a gun? You bet I would!
gpt
Murderin'! Purdy's voice sounded shrill with a quavering note of fear.
human
What--what do you mean--murderin'?
gpt
Why, I run across Cass awhile back. I told him I was huntin' you an' he said I'd find you an' three more over here. Said you an' them had planned to bump him an' Bill Harlow off tonight, an' you was busy arrangin' the details. He wanted to come along--him an' Bill--but I told him they wasn't no use--if they was only you an' three more like you, I could handle you myself. Him an' Bill are goin' to ride over after awhile an' see if I need any help--but I don't do I, Purdy?
human
I've be'n double-crossed! It's a lie! Everyone's agin me! I ain't never had no show!
