The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Wyoming by William MacLeod Raine: upon him. His will was of putty, molded into the opinion of
whomever he happened at the moment to be with. Just now, with the
ironic eye of Sheriff Burns upon him, he was strong for law
enforcement.
"A feller hadn't ought to be so promiscuous with his hardware.
This here thing of shooting up citizens don't do Wyoming no good
these days. Capital ain't a-going to come in when such goings-on
occur," he sagely opined, unconsciously parroting the sentiment
Burns had just been instilling into him.
"That's right, sir. If that ain't horse sense I don't know any.
You got a head on you, all right," answered the admiring sheriff.
