The Valley of the Moon

CHAPTER VII
4/25

You seen her at that Slavonic picnic last summer at Shellmound--that tall, nice-lookin' blonde that was with Butch Willows ?" "Yes, I remember her," Saxon sald.

"What about her ?" "Well, she'd been runnin' with Butch Willows pretty steady, an' just because she could dance, Billy dances a lot with her.

Butch ain't afraid of nothin'.

He wades right in for a showdown, an' nails Billy outside, before everybody, an' reads the riot act.

"An' then Billy says to Butch, 'Are you done ?' 'Yes,' Butch says; 'I've said my say, an' what are you goin' to do about it ?' An' Billy says--an' what d'ye think he said, with everybody lookin' on an' Butch with blood in his eye?
Well, he said, 'I guess nothin', Butch.' Just like that.
