"I was coming out of Smith & Dawkins's with the money in my pocket, when I saw you opposite, just going into a shop.

You could ha' knocked me down easy, I warrant ye.
Didn't expect to come on yer tracks as fast as all that.

But there you were, and when you came out and went down t' street, I just followed you at a safe distance, and saw you go into the hotel.

Afterwards, I went into the Free Library to think a bit, and then I saw the piece in the paper about you and that Saskatchewan place; and I got hold of a young man in a saloon who found out all about you and those English swells you've been hanging round with; and that same night, when you boarded the train, I boarded it, too.

See?
Only I am not a swell like you.
