Burg’s face grew serious. “What’s this I’m hearing about you wanting the girl with us? There ought to be enough girls along the road, don’t you think?” “That’s hardly my intention.” He leaned across the railing and faced Burg. “I still mean to return her to her family. After what happened last time, I’m not trusting her around these cock-brained monkeys. Besides, Burg, do you really think the woman would allow us to lock her up here while we go riding off into the sunset? Last port she could hardly wait to get out.”
