Excerpt from Grit LawlessThe speaker, who was known as the Colonel, took the cigar he was smoking from his mouth the better to emphasize his words, and looked gravely into the serious faces of his audience. It comprised a man of middle-age, bearded, secretive, calculating, and one other. The other was little more than a boy. By profession he was a mining engineer, by disposition a scamp, ready to plunge into any undertaking that promised adventure. The boy's head was bandaged where recently it had been broken for him, and he sat very quiet and silent, which was unusual, as the Colonel was wont to remark, he frequently talked too much. But he was not proud of his broken head and its consequences, so he held his peace.Do either of you know of a man likely to suit He must be possessed of a good nerve and a none too tender conscience. He'll have to put himself outside the law - the business is outside the law. And he must be a man we can trust.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
