The Water Cure

You see, I had it doped that Bishop was afraid o’ water or else he wouldn’t of turned down all our swimmin’ parties. I wouldn’t leave him a chance to duck out o’ this because I wouldn’t tell nobody where we was goin’. It’d be a surprise trip. And they was a good chance that they’d both be sick if it was the least bit rough, and that’d help a lot. I thought of Milwaukee first, but picked St. Joe because it’s dry.
