"Chief, are you still holding Perry?" "Sure, I'm holding him. I'll continue to hold him for some time, I'm thinking. His story don't suit me. He says " "All right.
"All boiled and sterilized, milked by electricity, manicured by steam and dehorned by absent treatment, sir, she said sir, she said." "May I go with you into your highly sanitary barnyard, my pretty maid?" he asked seriously. "Not unless you take a bath in carbolic solution, are vaccinated twice, and wear a surgeon's uniform, sir, she said." "But, I'm going to marry you, my pretty maid."
At the fourth they whispered that she had been having her nails manicured. At the fifth it was painfully evident that she was laced. At the sixth they stared and held their breath: Miss Webster was unmistakably painted. But it was at the tenth dinner that they were speechless and stupid: Miss Webster wore a blond wig.

"If he should touch me, I'd scream," she thought.
The Nurse called up Rose Davis; and Rosie, who was lying in bed with the Sunday papers scattered around her and a cigarette in her manicured fingers, reached out with a yawn and, taking the telephone, rested it on her laced and ribboned bosom. "Yes," she said indolently. The nurse told her who she was, and Rosie's voice took on a warmer tinge. "Oh, yes," she said. "How are you?... Claribel?
