Opis

-Now just why did you vote for it?- Charmian asked. I answered. I answered at length. I answered indignantly. The more I answered, the more indignant I became. (No; I was not drunk. The horse I had ridden was well named -The Outlaw.- I'd like to see any drunken man ride her.) And yet-how shall I say?-I was lighted up, I was feeling -good, - I was pleasantly jingled. -When the women get the ballot, they will vote for prohibition, - I said. -It is the wives, and sisters, and mothers, and they only, who will drive the nails into the coffin of John Barleycorn--- -But I thought you were a friend to John Barleycorn, - Charmian interpolated.
