...and all the queer little streets and the pink and blue and yellow houses
and the rose gardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar

kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and
then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes
to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew
him down to me so he could feel and smell all perfume yes and his heart was
going like mad and yes I said yes I will. Yes.
