I don't know why the rest were so anxious to attend that dance, but for me, I'm willing to own that I wanted to see Beryl King.

I knew she'd be there--and if I didn't manage, by fair means or foul, to make her dance with me, I should be very much surprised and disappointed.

I couldn't remember ever giving so much thought to a girl; but I suppose it was because she was so frankly antagonistic that there was nothing tame about our intercourse.

I can't like girls who invariably say just what you expect them to say.
When we came to get ready, there was a dress-discussion that a lot of women would find it hard to beat.

Some of the boys wanted to play up to, the aristocrats' expectations, and wear their gaudiest neckerchiefs, their chaps, spurs, and all the guns they could get their hands on; but I had an idea I thought beat theirs, and proselyted for all I was worth.
