De Launay condescended to notice them. "In the battle of vin rouge," he said. "I reckon you-all musta won a round or two with the vin sisters, yourselves."

Wonders never cease!" "Do you know what I did?"
When he roused me out this mornin' to go gaddin', I planned to swing around this way en let you all he'p me.
