which I loves like Jim. "'As I observes, Jim an' me's in
the outfit when this yere lieutenant comes trackin' 'round that
Princess of Casa Grande; which her love for him is a bluff an' a
deadfall; an' the same gets all of us before we're through. An' it
gets my Jim Willis speshul. "Mebby it's the third mornin' after we-
alls meanders into this nest of Mexicans, an' the lieutenant gets
lined out for that Princess of Casa Grande. We ain't been turnin'
out early nohow, thar bein' nothin'
to turn out about; but this third mornin' somebody arouses us a heap
vigorous, like they aims to transact some business with us. Which
they shorely does; it's an outfit of Greaser guerillas, an' we-alls
ain't nothin' more or less than captives. "'The ornery an'
ongrateful part is that the Princess sends one of her own peonies
scoutin' 'round in the hills to bring in this band of cattle-eaters
onto us. "'When the lieutenant hears of the perfidy of the Princess
female, he's that mortified he gets a pistol the first jump he makes
an' blows off the top of his head; which if he only blows off the
top of hers it would have gone a heap further with the rest of us.
If he'd consulted any of us, it would have shorely been advised.
