Finally, Proof

3Gun slipped quietly in the door

He made sure nobody else was around

Then went to the desk where Miss Harriet sat

He nodded, smiled and took off his hat

'Why Sheriff what a nice surprise

it's a treat to have you here'

I came to ask about that thing we discussed

that little favour I hinted was a must'

'I spoke to my friend in the county clerk's office

she dug up everything she could'

'If she found what I needed

that would be good'

'I have it right here, it arrived yesterday

held it here because I knew you were away'

Harriet opened her cupboard and removed a file

she put it on the counter, with a pleasant smile

3Gun took out the papers and read with care

every word and his eyes lit up

'Miss Harriet I could kiss you' he said with a happy look

'Let's call it square if you perhaps rent a book?'
