| " | Father Norris: No, no, it’s no man of the district. As you say, we know them, and it is little that they can do. But you’ve heard of Pinkerton’s? McMurdo: I’ve read of some folk of that name. Father Norris: Well, you can take it from me you’ve no show when they are on your trail. It’s not a take-it-ormiss-it government concern. It’s a dead earnest business proposition that’s out for results and keeps out till by hook or crook it gets them. If a Pinkerton man is deep in this business, we are all destroyed. — Father Norris and McMurdo |
