Page "mystery" Paragraph 706

Take Gardner Willings.

He had left after the scuffle ; ;

had been seen to leave.

He would have had ample time to go into a blind somewhere and wait his prey.

Consider him seriously, therefore??

Intangibles entered, then -- hunches which felt like facts.

Willings would ambush, certainly ; ;

Willings undoubtedly had.

Willings was, presumably, a better than average shot.

But -- hunch, now -- Willings would not ambush anything which went on two legs instead of four.

Because, if for no other reason, Willings would never for a moment suppose he was not bigger, tougher, than anything else that went on two legs.

Ambushes are laid by those who doubt themselves, as any man may against a tiger.
