Then she stands up there before us, fine an' tall, all in black silk, an' puts her glass up high an' sings out "'To the Revolution! "An' we all solemn-like says, 'To the Revolution, an' crooks our elbows. When we-all comes to, about half an hour later, we're in the street outside, havin' jus' said good-by to the Signorita.
