“Say, do you mean it, honest Injun, now?”

Said Vivian O’Riley to his sire.

“And faith I do,” the earnest sire replied:

“Marry this girl if so ye choose, me son,

But—if ye do—the divil a ha’penny

Of all me fortune will yees ever see,

While in Night’s cushion stars like pin-hids shine.”

Two hours have passed, and so have eight or ten

Slow-rolling tramway cars, until there comes

The one which Vivian wants, and soon it lands
