Darley were on hand, to immortalize the picture they made, scouring the premises after those disobliging burglars, especially Keturah, in the green wrapper, with her hair rolled all up in a huge knob on top of her head, to keep it out of the way, and her pistol held out at arm's-length, pointed falteringly, directly at the stars.
