The young men wore checkered suits and sported heavy watch fobs and diamond rings and scarf-pins.
"Why, you'll give us each a nice kiss, won't you ?" said Dudd Flockley with a smile that was meant to be alluring.
"Of course Minnie will give us a kiss," said Jerry Koswell.

"Next Saturday I'm coming over to give you a carriage ride." "I don't wish any carriage ride," answered the girl coldly.

Her face had gone white at the mention of kisses.
"Well, let's have the kisses anyway!" cried Dudd Flockley, and stepping forward, he caught the girl by one hand, while Jerry Koswell grasped her by the other.
"Oh, please let me go!" cried the girl.

"Please do! Oh, Mr.Flockley! Mr.Koswell, don't--don't--please!" "Now be nice about it," growled Dudd Flockley.
"It won't hurt you a bit," added Jerry Koswell.
"I want you to let me go!" cried the girl.
"I will as soon as--" began Dudd Flockley, and then he gave a sudden roar of pain as he found himself caught by the ear.

Then a hand caught him by the arm and he was whirled around and sent into a corner with a crash.
