Excerpt: ...she says, 'that'll come aboard off San Diego on your way down an' who will show up the other half o' the card-the half I have here an' which the same I'm goin' to mail to him. An' you be sure the halves fit before you let him come aboard. An' when that party comes aboard, ' she says, 'he's to take over charge.'

"An' we all solemn-like says, 'To the Revolution, ' an' crooks our elbows. When we-all comes to, about half an hour later, we're in the street outside, havin' jus' said good-by to the Signorita. We-all are some quiet the first block or so, and then Hardenberg says-stoppin' dead in his tracks: "'I pauses to remark that when a certain young feemale party havin' black hair an' a killin' eye gets good an' ready to travel up the centre aisle of a church, I know the gent to show her the way, which he is six feet one in his stocking-feet, some freckled across the nose, an' shoots with both hands.'
