Summary
Story about Donald Lamont facing down a pistol-armed footpad.
Donald Lamont was accosted by a footpad on a lonely road. He took it very coolly. He said three times that the pistol would maybe snap [misfire?], all the time reaching for his dirk. The pistol did snap, and Donald flew at the man with his dirk, calling his dirk "his pistol which never did snap".
