16/47 Won't you do what I say and slip out of the Alamo while there's still a chance ?" Ned was much moved, but he kept his resolution as he had kept it before. "Mr.Bowie, too, has asked me to go, but if I should do so and the rest of you were to fall I'd be ashamed of myself all the rest of my life. I'm a Texan now, and I'm going to see it through with the rest of you." "All right," said Crockett lightly. "I've heard that you can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink, an' if a boy don't want to go you can't make him go. So we'll just go into this little improvised armory of ours, an' you an' I will put in our time moldin' bullets." They entered one of the adobe buildings. |
