Kate was apt to judge her male colleagues by their behaviour when shooting. Masters could never bear<br />
to be outscored by her and seldom was. The qualifying shoot was not intended to be competitive;<br />
officers were supposed to be concerned only with their own achievement. But Masters had never been<br />
able to resist a quick glance at her score and had made no attempt at generosity if she outscored him.<br />
To him success at the shooting range had been an affirmation of masculinity. He had been brought up<br />
with guns and had found it intolerable that a woman, and one with Kate's urban background, could<br />
handle a weapon effectively. Daniel Aaron, on the other hand, had seen the practice shoots as a<br />
necessary part of the job and had cared little whether he scored higher than Kate provided he qualified.<br />
Paul Tarrant, who had succeeded him three months earlier, had already shown himself a better shot<br />
than either of his predecessors. She had yet to learn how much that mattered to him, how important it<br />
was that she could still outscore him.<br />
