He could tell when something was coming. Perhaps that was what had made him a good cop and, climbing from the ranks, a good detective; that and his amiable willingness to shoot it out on any and all occasions. Rorty was a mighty good man with a gun. He was conscious of the weight of it now, sheathed beneath his coat car opposite him. But the pigeons weren't used to Rorty and they were closer than hed thought; at his sudden approach they leaped into the air with clattering wings, a whirling cloud. Rorty dodged and smacked squarely into the old woman. He weighed two hundred pounds; she went down. He hadnt hurt her, but by the time hed gone through the automatic reaction of picking her up and seeing that she was all right, the doors were closed and the train was on Its way. Thank you," the old woman aald, but Rorty wasn't there to hear it. He was taking the steps four at a time to get to the street for a cab.

Out of every 18 bulls engaged, approximately 7 are fooled at the first glance and walk away, while the others are not deceived until they push the statuesque matador down off the pedestal and see his body motionless on the ground. Occasionally, a bull is not duped at all and the matador has to run for his life.
