Ok...now you've done it.
How about Holly Hunter in "Always"?
I own just about everything L’Amour wrote. I’ve actually learned a lot from his books. And that match burning was not the only trick. There is the ol’ inching toward where you cast a shadow on the perp so the sun blinds him. Not that I’d get a chance to use either of those.
But I get the strong impression that she dropped the drink as a diversion. Pretty impressive. And I can’t get Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona out of my head now.

Do you know which book this is in regarding the match?
I wish I owned his books. I’ve been reading them since I was in grade 5. He led to my love of westerns heh.
This story is great and a picture of how being situationally aware and keeping a cool head can save you.
Louis L’Amour may have saved my life on night.
I thought about something he wrote, and changed my actions.
I was later told I came very close to being shot.
I do own everything he ever wrote....collected hardcover works with leather bindings and acid-free paper. Not long after he died, this collection was offered as a subscription item. It includes most, if not all, of his short stories, as well as full books, with commentary by his son. I have re-read them many times.
I wish he had lived long enough to finish "The Walking Drum".
