I see how perfectly well. You always act just this way whenever I invite you to anything. You're not afraid of Pa or me, are you?" "W-e-e-ll, well, I ain't afraid of your Pa 's I know of, but of course, when such a fascinatin' young woman as you comes along, all rigged up to kill, why, it's natural that an old single relic like me should get kind of nervous."

"Why, for one thing," says I, "he let out that you was the most fascinatin' woman in the world." Another ripply laugh from Bonnie. "The old dear!" says she. "But then, he always was a little silly about me. Think of his never having gotten over it in all these years, though! But he didn't stay to meet me. How was that?"

"You go and change your frock," Emily said, glancing up at her. "Put on that black-and-white muslin you look your nicest in " "I ought to wear all black for a year, Emily." "You put on your black and white," coaxed Emily. Mrs.

That's good," he said, "May some one do as much for you, old chap, when you come to be er no, I don't mean that, of course.... Haven't had a smoke for weeks. Yes you can smoke without hands after all but not for long without feeling the inconvenience. Fascinatin' sight to watch...."
There's something terrible fascinatin' about a man in that position." "I don't see anything immodest in it," said Mrs Bosenna looking up. She was on her knees and had just finished pressing the earth about the roots of a small rose-bush. "The house is mine, and naturally I am curious to know something about my tenant."
"'Shore! says this pinfeather party to Texas Thompson, who, outen pity for him, takes the bridegroom over to the Red Light, to be refreshed; 'shore! while thar's no one that egreegious to go claimin' that my Abby's doo to grade as "cornfed," all the same she's one of the most fascinatin' ladies, that is, an' give her a gun, in all the len'th an' breadth of Arizona.
