But I see where it is.
If I have any influence in the matter, it shall be given to Miss Matchin, whom I proposed once before." "Exactly! Now you're talkin'. Miss Matchin shall have it, on one little proviso that won't hurt you nor me nor nobody. Say the word, and it's a whack." And he lifted up his hand to strike the bargain.

The flood of the Danube having at last subsided, all was ready by midsummer. Russian batteries and torpedo-boats had destroyed two Turkish armoured gunboats in the lower reaches of the river, and on June 22 a Russian force crossed in boats from a point near Galatz to Matchin, and made good their hold on the Dobrudscha.

This secured the window crowds intact, and now Jordan turned to the congregation within. "An' now, dear beloved." He lowered his voice. "For sech as I done specified, let us pray!"
