I have got one gruesome idea I will be ready to tell you about to-morrow.
She had dazzled Cal Emmett with her wiles and had found occasion to show Chip how little she thought of him; a highly unsatisfactory achievement, since Chip calmly over-looked her whenever common politeness permitted him. There yet remained the unexplored mystery of that little cabin down the slope, from which sounded so much boylike laughter of an evening.
She began to whisper into the buds, touching in turn each pink chalice with her pink lips. "This is the rose for the year I was one, and this is the rose for the year I was two, and this is the rose " Johnnie proceeded, boylike, to acquire some intimate and practical knowledge of her gift.

A picture of her began to form in his imagination Nancy walking boylike and debonnaire along the street, taking an orange as tithe from a worshipful fruit-dealer, charging a dope on a mythical account, at Soda Sam's, assembling a convoy of beaux and then driving off in triumphal state for an afternoon of splashing and singing.
Worming my way, boylike, through the crowd, I came upon McGary and Harrod glaring at each other in the centre of it.

I'll take a posse and march to Shawanee Springs this day, and see any man a fair fight that tries to stop me."
