Schoolma'am was a brown-haired one,--eyes coffee-color.

This one has got wine-colored eyes,--'n' that 's the reason they turn a fellah's head, I suppose.
This is a splendid blonde,--I said,--the other was a brunette.

Which style do you like best?
Which do I like best, boiled mutton or roast mutton ?--said the young man John.

Like 'em both,--it a'n't the color of 'em makes the goodness.

I 've been kind of lonely since schoolma'am went away.
