Rebel? . I grant you, -- my comrades then Were called Old Pascal Dubois' Men Half-breeds all of us. I, a scamp, The best long-shot in the Touchwood Camp; Muscle and nerve like strings of steel, Sound in the game of bit and heel -- There's your guide-book. But, Jeanne Amray, Telegraph-clerk at Sturgeon Bay, French and thoroughbred, proud and sweet, Sunshine down to her glancing feet, Sang one song 'neath the northern moon That changed God's world to a tropic noon; And Love burned up on its golden floor Years of passion for Nell Latore -- Nell Latore with her tawny hair, Glowing eyes and her reckless air; Lithe as an alder, straight and tall -- Pride and sorrow of Rise-and-Fall!
