But at that moment I glanced around at the crowd that had followed me. It was an the sea of faces above the garish clothes - faces all happy and excited over this
me as they would watch a conjurer about to perform a trick. And suddenly!

the will of those faces behind. To come all that way, rifle in hand, with two thousand
people marching at my heels, and then to trail feebly away, having done nothing -
no, that was impossible. The crowd would laugh at me.
