Ulysses, Wright, and the others grumbled and cursed while leaving the bar and driving back to Lennon's mine.
"In my opinion, we should get some people, and go back and beat them up. Those d*mn foreigners. They cannot beat us," the temperamental Hubert bellowed.
Kidd pinched his nose and glared at Hubert. In an unpleasant manner, he asked, "Beat them up? Are you sure you can beat them in a fight?"
Hubert replied, "I have six miners back at my mine. What about the miners you guys have? With Popovich and Hugo, we can gather 50 people."
Ulysses bellowed, "Don't f*cking talk about Popovich and Hugo. Those two cunning foxes. D*mn it, they won't show up. They are waiting to see how it will unfold. We have been fooled by them before."
"Yeah, Hugo is definitely in Lightning Ridge. I saw that old rascal having a meal at a restaurant with his mistress yesterday."
