Gunfire Quote by Johanna Lindsey
““Rupert yanked Rebecca off her seat to the floor! If that weren't bad enough, he dropped down on top of her, not with his full weight,, but enough to make it uncomfortable. Rebecca had,of course, heard the gunfire that had prompted Rupert's actions. She wasn't deaf. Still, annoyed, she asked, "Do you really think a shot is going to get through the back panel of a coach this sturdily built? And fired from a moving vehicle? Anyone aiming isn't likely to hit us a'tall." "They're on horseback," was all he said. "Even worse.Have you ever hit what you aimed at while racing along on a horse?" "Yes." She snorted,but believing him at all.””
