`` Nope . It wuz n't him that told me about you , pardner . It wuz Violy Gwyn . She went by here with her ma , jes ' as I wuz startin ' off to look at my traps , -- ` long about seven o'clock , I reckon , -- headed for town . She sez to me , sez she : ` Ike , there 'll be a young man an ' a darkey boy come ridin ' this way some time this forenoon an ' I want you to give him a message for me . ' ` With pleasure , ' sez I ; ` anything you ask , ' sez I. ` Well , ' sez she , ` it 's this . Fust you ask him ef his name is Kenneth Gwynne , an ` ef he sez it is , then you look an ' see ef he is a tall feller an ' very good-lookin ' , without a beard , an ' wearin ' a blue cape , an ' when you see that he answers that description , why , you tell him to come an ' see me as soon as he gits to town .
