You won't even take your bow? Are you planning to throttle a moose with your bare hands, then?"" I've a knife in my boot, " she said, and then wondered, for a moment, if she could throttle a moose with her bare hands.

About This Quote

This quote is a bit of a paradox. It's a statement that's meant to be humorous, but it sounds more like a threat than humor. The speaker is obviously an outdoorsman and she seems to be making fun of the man for not having a knife on him. However, this seems like an unkind thing to say and an unkind thought behind the statement.
