Moon drank whiskey and whimpered from the pain in his leg. I felt sorry for him. Once he caught me stealing glances at him and he said, "What are you looking at?" It was a foolish question and I made no reply. He said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? What is this girl doing here?"
I said, "I´m Mattie Ross of near Dardanelle, Arkansas. Now I will ask you a question. What made you become a stock thief?"
He said again, "What´s this girl doing here?"
Lol. I can picture the exasperation on this poor guys face.
I really like Mattie. She is a 14-year-old force of nature, arguing with male strangers like she never has done anything else in her entire life.
