Des Violets is the way Mr. Gabriel's own name is spelt, and his father and mine his mother and Well, some way or other we're sort of cousins. Only think, Georgie! isn't that I thought, to be sure, when he quartered at our house, Dan'd begin to take me to do, if I looked at him sideways, make the same fuss that he does, if I nod to any of the other young men."
But I didn't feel so then, my heart and my soul were rebellious, and love for Dan alone kept me under, not love for God. And in fact, if ever I'd got to heaven then, love for Dan'd have been my only saving grace; for I was mighty high-spirited, as a girl. Well, Dan he never made open profession; but when he left the house, he went and asked Faith to marry him.
The last letter from him was 'bout a year ago. Dan'd just got to be corporal. He's a damn clever kid, Dan is, an' ambitious too, one of the guys always makes good.... Gawd, I'd hate to see him this way. D'you know, we used to see a hell of a lot of each other in 'Frisco, an' he always used to tell me how he'd make good before I did. He was goddam right, too.
She remembered afterwards, while her father gave her a hand up the front wheel, a voice inside the stage exclaimed: "Say, thought they wuz goin' to be fireworks. If Dan'd read that in th' paper 'bout me, he'd a gone on awful." "Oh, no, he's a thoroughbred all right, if it is part Indian."
