Most of us haven't seen a female for months, nor a lady for years.

Why, last fall Stubby there rode eighty miles to Buxton, just to stand on a corner and see a lot of greasy Mexican women go by.

We tire of exclusive male society, you see.

We get to bore one another terribly.

So here, like a visitation from heaven, three attractive young ladies descend upon us, traveling through our domain, and having discovered their presence we instantly decided to take advantage of the opportunity and invite them to an impromptu ball.
