She was one of the poor unfortunates of Chinatown. She asked if she might sit down, as she was very tired and did not feel well. "Go in, Anna," I said, and she went in and took a seat. When I passed her way she said, "Mr. Ranney, will you please give me a drink of water?" Now this woman had caused me lots of trouble.
Soon Henry took a candle, and the two young men retired. They paused a moment in the little parlor. "Was there ever such a singular and brilliant compound?" said Ranney.

"I promised you would both go. The walk is not more than a mile, the day a marvel right out of Paradise, and you both need the exercise, and to feel that it is spring."

My partner thought I had been caught cheating and was going to cash his chips. I said, 'I'll be back in a little while.
