Her fust name's Desire, and that kind of made me take an interest in her right off, 'cause I had an Aunt Desire once, and it's a name you don't hear very often.

Afterwards I got to know her real well.

She was a widder woman, like me, only she didn't have as much sense as I've got, and went and married a second time.

'Twas 'long in 1886 she done it.

This man Higgins, he went to work for her on her place, and pretty soon he married her.
