Which, while the play is some onusual an' out of line,
everybody agrees it's all right; bein' that we-alls is goin' to a
war, that a-way.
"'Now yere,' goes on Enright, at the same time callin' for red-eye
all 'round, ' is what youalls agrees is a mighty romantic deal.
Yere's a love affair gets launched.'
"'Does this yere lone-hand gent who gets kissed by the Sanders lady
outlive the war?' asks Texas Thompson, who has braced up an' gets
mighty vivacious listenin' to the story.
"'Which he shorely outlives that conflict,' replies Enright. 'An'
you can gamble he's in the thick of the stampede, too, every time. I
will say for this yere Captain, that while I ain't with him plumb
through, he's as game a sport as ever fought up hill. He's the sort
which fights an goes for'ard to his man at the same time. Thar's no
white feathers on that kind; they's game as badgers. An' bad.'
"'Which if he don't get downed none,' says Texas Thompson, 'an' hits
Tennessee alive, I offers ten to one he leads this yere Sanders
female to the altar.'
"'Which you'd lose, a whole lot,' says Enright, at the same time
raisin' his whiskey glass.
"'That's what I states when I trails out on this yere romance.
