She took up her muff, without making a courtesy, and retired very swiftly." "I am scarcely, fond of Madame de Maintenon," said I to Madame de Richelieu, "but I like her answer exceedingly. Madame is one of those great hermaphrodite bodies which the two sexes recognise and repulse at the same time.
Bill Andrews lost his Christian fortitude, give that toy muff a kick that landed him fifteen feet an' Barbie came around the corner, an' Dick came out of the office at the same time. The poor little pup was a-layin' on his back yelpin' like a love-sick bob-cat; a white rage came over me an' I pulled out my gun; but before I could use it Dick had sailed into him without a word.

This was both thoughtful and thoughtless the latter because Margaret was in the habit of thinking that she became faint in crowds, especially at the theatre or in church, and she had just soaked her handkerchief with spirits of ammonia from a small phial she carried in her muff.
