Johnny had surreptitiously entered her pantry and stolen a plateful of cakes. Taxed with the theft he denied it; and cornered, laid, Adam-like, the blame on his companion, asserting that Trotty had persuaded him to take the goodies; though bewildered innocence was writ all over the baby's chubby face. Mahony had the young sinner up before him.
These are crimes against men and therefore serious. This is also a sore thought! Then when men speak of these things, they throw the blame on women themselves, showing thereby that the Garden of Eden story of Adam and Eve and the apple, whether it be historically true or not, is true to life.

If men would own the truth, it would not be so bad, but, Adam-like, as usual, they lay the blame on women and say: ‘Girls expect so much nowadays, it is impossible to make enough money to satisfy them.’ This is one of the many lies men tell about women, or perhaps they are under a delusion and really believe the statement to be true.

I'm goin' to eat. I sure want to square myself." "For what?" Doris was gazing at him with a serene directness that made him feel that his clothing was several sizes too large for him.
Wheat had created Chicago and Winnipeg Adam-like from the ground; but it was rejuvenating Rosario de Santa Fé Faust-like, with its golden elixir. It interested the man who called himself Herbert Strange resident manager of Stephens and Jarrott's great wheat business in this outlet of the great wheat provinces to watch the impulse by which Decrepitude rose and shook itself into Youth.
