Not one shot

 He decided that he could take it for granted that Huddy was a good shot with a rifle, but he would also remember that Huddy, now at least, was not a gambler. Huddy would study his victim, stay with him until he got within easy range, then shoot him down. From all he had heard, Huddy was a one-shot killer - it was even a matter of pride with him. That meant Duvarney must not give him that one shot until he was ready to do so.
