She figures Budd is living in a trailer by himself, this is gonna be easy. Well not quite. :) Nice quote from Twain. Is that from one of his stories?Roman J.

It was a defeat anticipated in a sense by Mark Twain: "The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do; and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot." Budd had the sense to know he was outclassed and not to contest Beatrix' swordsmanship at all.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-74524277852498132002013-12-12T07:15:00.087-08:002013-12-12T07:15:00.087-08:00It's a terrific double Bill. ;)

It's been a long time, but I think it ranks up there for me personally as one of tarantinos best.<br /><br />Cheers my friend<br />SFF SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
