Steer, carrying the shotgun something fall from his shoulder, as if the weapon was to sag alone, led to a clearing that was wide plaza at the forge. It was a shack built of adobe, black smoke and covered by a roof hunchbacked, in some of his points like bulge to subside. Under a shed shone a fire inflamed eye, and with it the Ferrer, standing at the anvil, the hammer struck with an iron bar igneous.

Paul was not dissatisfied with his theatrical entrance in the square. Verre looked up upon hearing the sound of footsteps in the range of two of his hits, and stood with his hammer up, recognizing the man in the tower. But his cold eyes were unable to transparent impression.

Steer moved to the furnace staring at the blacksmith, a look of challenge that the man seemed not to understand. Not a word, no greeting. The Lord passed on, but out of the square stood by one of the first trees and ended up sitting in their roots protruding, keeping the gun between his legs.

A pride of manly pride filled the soul of Paul. I was satisfied with his arrogance. Well bully could see that coming to get you in the solitude of the mountains, in their own home, might well be convinced that he was not afraid.
