“Come home to dinner with me, Mr. Zalhambra, you’ll p’raps find some folks there that will appreciate the dope you hand out.” From where he stood Billy could see the distress in her face. He must think of a way to get her, and he must, must hurry! “You young scamp, you found water, didn’t you, more than you needed? For the love of St. Patrick, if it isn’t the spalpeen that split his sides laughing at me falling on the ice yesterday!”.

He had been so transported by his scheme for winning the beautiful young girl whom he worshipped that his survey of the vast canvas of his intentions was in reality restricted to but one corner of it, so that he saw only a little of the whole truth.

“But the girls and small fry can’t come in on that. Besides, that little city kid’ll be lonesome if I leave her.” Which last order was the signal for a giddy frolic.
