The danger's not in the open daylight, but in the dark.
There's none of them that will be apt to square off agin you while you're here; for they knew that, though we've got a mighty mixed nest, there's some honest birds in it.

There's a few of us here, always ready to see that a man has fair play, and that's a sort of game that a scamp never likes to take a hand in.

There's quite enough of us, when a scalp's in danger, who can fling a knife and use a trigger with the best, and who won't wait to be asked twice to a supper of cold steel.
Only you keep cool, and wide awake, and you'll have friends enough always within a single whoop.

But, good night now.

I must go and look after our horses.
