Excerpt: ''Me and "Muley" Bowles and "Chuck" Warner are putting a saddle on a colt in the Cross J corral, when "Telescope" Tolliver enters the precincts of said ranch, and we gets our first glimpse of Archibald Ames. Archibald occupies a seat on the buckboard with Telescope, and they soon comes over and climbs on top of the corral fence. Archibald's name fits him-in a way. The length of his first name indicates his girth and his last name his height. He's one of them persons who you'd never invite to set down, 'cause he don't seem to require no such posture. It takes him quite a long time to negotiate the top-pole of the corral, and when he does get up there he has to balance-his feet won't reach the next pole. He's wearing them dinky little pants, with the seat of a shoplifter and the knees of Lord Fauntleroy. His calves perspire in shiny leggings, and for a hat he wears a libel on the name of Stetson. Muley gives him a passing glance, yanks up another notch on the cinch, and grunts- "What'll we do with it?"'
