A quick snap of yer head backwards would get m'chin, stompin on m'foot at th'instep would to t'unbalance me. But the best way t'drop a man holdin ye thus would be a quick elbow backwards," he told her. "Guaranteed t'take down any man with ill intent and free ye t'get distance enough t'arm or run as the case may be."
