[The Attache by Thomas Chandler Haliburton]@TWC D-Link bookThe Attache CHAPTER IX 6/13

I wouldn't go to shock you by a doin' of it coarse; you are too quick, and too knowin' for that.
You should smell the otter o' roses, and sniff, sniff it up your nostrils, and say to yourself, 'How nice that is, ain't it? Come, I like that, how sweet it stinks!' I wouldn't go for to dash scented water on your face, as a hired lady does on a winder to wash it, it would make you start back, take out your pocket-handkercher, and say, "Come, _Mister_ Slick, no nonsense, if you please." I'd do it delicate, I know my man: I'd use a light touch, a soft brush, and a smooth oily rouge." "Pardon me," I said, "you overrate your own powers, and over-estimate my vanity.
