“Your names?”—“Mine’s Johnson, and my comrade’s Juan;
The other two are women, and the third
Is neither man nor woman.” The Chief threw on
The party a slight glance, then said, “I have heard
Your name before, the second is a new one:
To bring the other three here was absurd:
But let that pass:—I think I have heard your name
In the Nikolaiew regiment?”—“The same.”
