"To bully waiters! is that your notion of savoir faire?" she answered, lightly. "My dear Jim, the bullying of a waiter is the most obvious and outward sign of the ingrained, incurable cad.
I've lived there sixteen years got a nice little wife there here's her picture and see here, this is my name," and he laid an envelope before me with a New York postmark. "Well," I said, "if you are an American citizen, what are you doing here, in a French uniform? The States are not in the war." His eyes simply snapped. "My God, lady, I'm a Frenchman just the same.
"But the important point is: Is she also a NICE DAMSEL? One thing she has in her favour and that is that she appears only just to have left school, and not to have had time to become womanly in the worser sense. At present, therefore, she is like a child. Everything in her is simple, and she says just what she thinks, and laughs merely when she feels inclined.
She felt, at least, that sentiment that is akin to love. "Don't take it so hard, please," she said, gently. "It's all for the best. I've reasoned it out very wisely all by myself.

"I s'pose, now, your Ma don't approve of 'em," he said, looking quite solemn all at once; "well there, I s'pose they ain't quite 'xactly the thing, but they look pretty nice on paper.
Do you disapprove of salted and boiled beef for a child? If beef be much salted it is hard of digestion, and therefore ought not to be given to him; but if it have been but slightly salted, then for a change there will be no objection to a little.
