Quote #7
Given the way I've previously described shooting, you may think magic happened here: that the focus came on strong, the world dropping away, and that I knew exactly what to do. But nothing could be further from the truth. (17.61)
Well, yes, we might think that, Georgie, given that you've bragged the whole time about what a great shot you are. You can't really blame us.
Quote #8
Through sawing breath, Billy's voice came. He spoke loudly: "Leave her. She's got a rifle—a repeater. She can shoot. She's the best shot in our town." (17.82)
Is she? Sorry, but there's got to be someone better than a thirteen-year-old, simply based on practice time alone. Even if it's a bit of an exaggeration, though, Georgie does seem to be in command of her shot.
