Doc Snap Ropes

The man, a big Irishman with cheeks so plump and red they looked like the halves of Christmas apples, was bound and gagged. He was indeed grateful when Doc turned him loose--but quite astounded. For Doc, not bothering with the knots, simply freed the Irishman by snapping the stout ropes with his fingers as easily as he would cords.

"Begorra, man!" muttered the Irishman. "'Tis not human yez can be, with a strength like that!"
