"If somebody doesnt go out and do something, there will be a shindy," said Marmaduke.

She is not squeamish, and she is full of fun; but she knows as well as anybody how to pull up a man who doesnt behave himself.

"Well, as to that, she doesnt stand much on ceremony; but then, you see, that cuts two ways.
