"Mil demonios!" is his last exclaim of the kind, after getting his horse upright again and himself back into the saddle, "who'd have believed the old beldame had so much suppleness in her joints?

The sleek black head of Culvera swung quickly round till his black eyes met the blue ones of Yeager. He flung his hand straight out toward the Anglo-Saxon. "Mil diablos! What a dolt I am. It's the very man, and I've been racking my brain to think where I met him before." Yeager laughed hardily. "I've got a better memory, señor.
"We had to stick around last night, Mil. Gert was drawing off the models under her handkerchief and on the dance program. That's how we got the yellow charmeuse, just by keeping after it and drawing it line for line." "I know, I know."
