A buxom nymph of the grove, whose draperies floated from her like flesh-colored mist, spun to the wild passion of violins up the eight marble steps of the marble flight.
"If you ask me I'll say Dare Lane ought to hand something to the men!" burst out Floss Dickerson, with fire in her eyes. "You said a mouthful, kiddo," responded Helen, with her narrow contracted gaze upon Margaret. "Daren gave me the once over and then the icepick!" "Wonder what he gave poor Mel when he heard about her," murmured Elinor, thoughtfully.
Say, that Billy Winthrop I writ about is the brother of them folks stayin' here! What do you think!" "Wish I was out there with you fellows," said Collie. "You're doin' pretty good right here, kiddo.

He turned cold as his imagination projected a sketch of his mother in the act of reading this missive, and of her expression as she read the sentence: "It is the sweetest thing now you are mine and I am yours forever kiddo." He wished that Milla hadn't written "kiddo." She called him that, sometimes, but in her warm little voice the word seemed not at all what it did in ink.
Lorna was returning rather late from the motion-picture, thought Lane, and he raised his head from the pillow, to lean toward the open window, listening. "Come across, kiddo," said a boy's voice, husky and low. Lane heard a kiss then another. "Cheese it, you boob!" "Gee, your gettin' snippy. Say, will you ride out to Flesher's to-morrow night?" "Nothing doing, I've got a date. Good night."
"God! sometimes I wake up in the night just like him and ma was still alive and me and her was sitting there listening to him creak up the stairs on his bad nights. I wake up, I can tell you, in a sweat right in a sweat." "I knew you in them days, kiddo, just like you knew me. That's why you can't pull nothing over on a fellow, kiddo, that's had as many pulls on your all-day suckers as I have.

"It just don't seem fair for you to have to " "'S-s-s-s-h! Everything's fair, darlin', in love and war. All the rules for the game of living ain't written down the Eleventh Commandment and the Twelfth Commandment and the Ninth Commandment."
She quickened her speed, leaning forward to read more surely: "Uh-uh! my ba-a-aaby, You drive me cra-azy, Uh-uh! quit shovin', I'm only lov in'."
