From what I learn of her from what I know | B |
In living knowing women I am clear | A |
About this Elenor Murray Give me power | A |
To get the letters power to give a bond | C |
To indemnify the company for you know | B |
Letters belong to him who writes the letters | D |
And if the company is given bond | C |
It will surrender them and then you'll know | B |
What man she loved this Gregory Wenner or | A |
Some other man and if some other man | E |
Whether he caused her death | F |
- | |
The coroner | A |
And Loveridge Chase sat in the coroner's office | G |
And talked the matter over And the coroner | A |
Who knew this Loveridge Chase was wondering | H |
Why Loveridge Chase had taken up the work | I |
Of secret service followed it and asked | J |
How did you come to give your brains to this | K |
Who could do other things And Loveridge said | L |
A woman made me I went round the world | M |
As jackie once was brought into this world | M |
By a mother good and wise but took from her | A |
My father someone sense of chivalry | A |
Too noble for this world a pity too | N |
Abused too much by women I came back | O |
Was hired in a bank had I gone on | P |
By this time had been up in banking circles | Q |
But something happened You can guess I think | R |
It was a woman was my wife Leone | S |
It matters nothing here except I knew | N |
This Elenor Murray through my wife These two | N |
Were schoolmates even chums I'll get these letters | D |
If you commission me The fact is this | K |
I think this Elenor Murray and Leone | S |
Were kindred spirits and it does me good | T |
Now that I'm living thus without a wife | U |
To ferret out this matter of Elenor Murray | A |
Perhaps this way or somewhere on the way | V |
Find news of my Leone what life she lives | W |
And where she is I'm curious still you see | A |
Then Coroner Merival who had not heard | X |
Of Elenor Murray's letters in New York | Y |
Before this talk of Loveridge Chase who heard | X |
This story and analysis of Leone | S |
Mixed in with other talk and got a light | Z |
On Elenor Murray said I know your work | I |
Know you as well have confidence in you | N |
Make ready to go and bring the letters back | O |
- | |
And on the day that Loveridge Chase departs | A2 |
To get the letters in New York Bernard | B2 |
A veteran of Belleau married that day | V |
To Amy Whidden on a lofty dune | C2 |
At Millers Indiana with his bride | D2 |
Long quiet tells her something of the war | A |
These soldiers cannot speak what they have lived | E2 |
But Elenor Murray helps him for the talk | F2 |
Of Elenor Murray runs the rounds so many | A |
Stations whence the talk is sent the men | G2 |
Or women who had known her came in touch | H2 |
Somehow with her These newly wedded two | N |
Go out to see blue water yellow sand | I2 |
And watch the white caps pat the sky and hear | A |
The intermittent whispers of the waves | J2 |
And here Bernard the soldier tells his bride | D2 |
Of Elenor Murray and their days at Nice | K2 |
