"Time to go home," he said, cheerfully. "Good night, Sproggins." He took her into the house through the conservatory, paused to pluck and twine a wreath of tiny pink rosebuds for her, adjusted it on her rather touseled curls, and took her out to the Moorish Courtyard. "Now, Warb, what about the baboon?" "I want to go ragpick with him and be pag-rickers together. Can I? Pleathe " "Nixy.
Now we'll take her blood pressure here, Warb, you be taking her temperature, and send somebody for my stethoscope, and my case of instruments and my X-ray apparatus. Now, my girl, don't cry. We'll fix you up." Petticoat lighted a cigarette and sat down to take Polly's pulse.
As the last pied guest disappeared she turned wearily to her Petticoat. "I tell you, Warb," he said, "you are sure one corker! You put 'em to sleep all right! Now you've shown 'em how, you bet they won't go on having their stupid highbrow intellectural old gatherings. Hop along to bed, little tired Lollipop."
I can earn my own living, and all I want, too! You can get a divorce and marry some thread of a woman who has ptomaines all the time!" "Pish, tush, Warb, don't be a damfool! Lay off the melodrama. I do love you at least, I love ninety-five pounds of you. Now, will you be good?" "Yeth." "And will you try to think of me as a devoted and loving husband, even if I'm not one?"

The Indian never believed in the resurrection of the body; but even corn and venison were supposed to possess a spirit, which the spirit of the dead warrior might eat. Jesuit "Relacion," 1633, p. 54.
"I will, because I hope to reform your tastes, dear, and teach you to see the beauty of simple beautiful poetry. Listen to this: "Weep and the world weeps with you, Laugh and you laugh alone " "That'll do, Warb. Don't go too far. Now it's my turn. But, you know, dear, quoting isn't everything. You must learn to dissect, to interpret, and above all to trace the influences that swayed the poet.
When the manitou of the Indian has failed to give him success in the chase, or protection from danger, "he upbraids it with bitterness and contempt, and threatens to seek a more effectual protector. If the manitou continues useless, this threat is fulfilled." Warb. ut supra. Vide, also, Catlin's "American Indians," vol. i., p. 36, et seq. Bancroft, vol. iii., p. 258.
