Però non si ammazzano le donne. Le tieni prigioniere, ma non le ammazzi. Sono sempre belle, e ricche, e spaventatissime. Ti prendi i loro orologini e gli altri ciondoli, ma devi sempre toglierti il cappello e parlare
in modo educato. Non c’è gente più bene educata dei banditi... puoi leggerlo in qualsiasi libro. Be’, insomma, le donne finiscono per innamorarsi di te e, dopo che sono state nella grotta per una settimana o due, la smettono di frignare, e in seguito non riusciresti più a convincerle ad andarsene. Se le scacciassi, si volterebbero, a un certo punto, e tornerebbero indietro. Succede così in tutti i libri.
