Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition

"If they speak to us when we're tired out and heartbroken we hear their voices only in our souls that are suddenly and strangely consoled.

If their eyes ever look into our eyes filled with the divine pity and sweetness of their all comprehendin' love and sympathy, we only know it by the sudden sunshiny light and warmth that fills our being.

And I follered my pardner out of the buildin'.
