And me a lyin' here when that splendiferous critter war a botherin' her brain to sarve this old sinner!

It is more nor my life-it am the good name and actions of the most splendiferous, angeliferous critter the sun ever set eyes on!
"The White Squaw"
Mayne Reid
Take a lady, and dress her in a'most a beautiful long habit, man's hat, stand-up collar and stock, clap a beautiful little cow-hide whip in her hand, and mount her on a'most a splendiferous white hoss, with long tail and flowin' mane, a rairin' and a cavortin' like mad, and a champin' and a chawin' of its bit, and makin' the froth fly from its mouth, a spatterin' and white-spottin' of her beautiful trailin', skirt like any thing.
