A big devil of a rat, probably the bully of the pack, poked his nose and then his head and then his whole body out from behind the sink, and the enraged man blew that bully rat to tiny shreds and sent those clippings out a hole in the wall. A marvelous instrument, this twenty-guage, he decided. (From The Angels' Conversation) "When I regained my senses, Frank talked to me. He said, 'Flo, you've got the disease and I don't know if you've given it to Al or not, but if you have, I'll have to kill you.' I didn't want to die so I sold my jewels and caught a train for New York. . . . they were always breathing down my neck and I knew the only way to lose them was to come to a place like this. . ." (From Flo the Old Crow)
