[*Ed. On June 17th 1903 an elephant named Sita killed a keeper who was nursing her injured foot, and was put down by members of the Royal Irish Constabulary.

"I always thought I'd marry a lord or a gentleman coming with a private yacht. Bueñas noches, señorita. El hombre ama la muchacha hermosa. Why me? Because you were so foreign from the others.
