JANE
Done to Jack! What did you do to Jack?
ALEC
Ah fixed him even if the gun wasn't loaded.
JANE
Fixed him, how?
ALEC
Ah made a swipe at his head with this gun and he th'owed his arm er he'd 'a' got it proper, but Ah bet Ah broke sumpin'.
JANE
Beat Jack up after Ah compermised with his daddy?
ALEC
Ah'd 'a' broke his head if he hadn't 'a' been down. Ah didn't hit him but one lick; but it was a good 'un.
JANE
Now you are in a mess, Alec Lee. Ben Carter'll put the sheriff on you sure! Get out o' here and go to Aunt Dinah's and hide!
ALEC
Hide for what! He didn't hide after he shot Joe, did he?
JANE
That's diff'ent! Can't you see that's diff'ent! He ain't goin' to let you beat Jack up and get away with it! Get out o' here and hide till this thing blows over!
