I want you to be fair with me.

Was it because of Jenny Bierce ?" "You know it was." "But why haven't I as good a right to make love to Jenny as you or any other man ?" Woodell turned fiercely: "More quibbling." Then in a tone of demand: "Tell me this: Are you going to marry her ?" Harlson hesitated.

"I don't know." "You do know! You know you haven't any idea of such a thing.

You are just amusing yourself until you get your cursed fence built." "What is that to you ?" "To me! She was engaged to be married to me, and we were happy together until you came; and you've come, broken up two lives and done no one any good, not even yourself, you hungry wolf! She cares more for me to-day than she does for you.

She is better suited to me! But with your trick of words and your ways you tickled her fancy at first, and, finally, you charmed her somehow as they say snakes do birds.
