was just plain mad. He had lost his
temper completely. He was just the
enough to be called a coward by a lit

to have that same little upstart fool
him in this way. Buster just couldn't
contain himself. He fairly roared with
rage.
Now, nothing is so foolish as to give
way to rage. Peter didn't have any
trouble at all in keeping out of Bust

that he didn't stop to think, and just
rushed this way and that way .blindly.

you would drive that hunter out of the
