I told him the truth at first, and when he wouldn't believe me 'Oh, no, there must be someone' I says to myself, 'All right, deary, have it your own way, and I jolly him along now," she laughed with joyous memory. "I got him good and guessing, Pop." The old man looked dissatisfied. "I ain't much stuck on this, Panchita. What good are you goin' to get out of it?"
Without flinching and with the same unchanging dark glow in her eyes, Panchita came steadily toward him through the strawberry vines. Dry Valley's trembling hand released his whip handle. When within a yard of him Panchita stretched out her arms. "God, kid!" stammered Dry Valley, "do you mean ?"
The consciousness of his clothes kept his mind busy; the knowledge that he could say nothing of interest kept him dumb; the feeling that Panchita was there kept him happy. He took her to parties and dances, and to church. He tried oh, no man ever tried so hard to be young as Dry Valley did.

There he burrowed upward toward the light through the avalanche that had fallen on him. At first there was only a gleam of it, a central glow. About this his thoughts circled like May flies round a lamp, irresistibly attracted and seemingly as purposeless. "Hello, Panchita! Ain't you the wonder. Your best beau's proud of you" that was the glow.
And the sight of his torment coming to pester him with her elfin pranks coming to plunder his strawberry vines like a mischievous schoolboy roused all his anger. "I told you to keep away from here," said Dry Valley. "Go back to your home." Panchita moved slowly toward him. Dry Valley cracked his whip. "Go back home," said Dry Valley, savagely, "and play theatricals some more.
The paragraph was at the end of a column, was encircled by two curved pencil strokes, and on the edge of clean paper below it was written, also in pencil, "Hello, Panchita. Ain't you the wonder. Your best beau's proud of you." He pulled a chair to the window, folded back the page and read the marked item.
It's not true in the first place, it's stupid in the second, and in the third it only tends to make bad feeling between us that there's no cause for." "Oh, yes, there's cause, lots of cause." He found her steady eyes more discomfiting than ever, and looking at his cigarette said: "Panchita, you're not yourself. You're overworked and overwrought, imagining things that don't exist.
They kept silent for a moment; then Panchita, taking out of the bosom of her blouse a young pigeon which opened its beak in suffocation, said: "To tell you the truth, I brought this medicine for the gentleman here, but they say he's got a doctor, so I suppose " "That makes no difference, Panchita, that's no medicine anyhow, it's simply something to rub on his body."
Never a thrill of Romeo had he known; he was but a melancholy Jaques of the forest with a ruder philosophy, lacking the bitter-sweet flavour of experience that tempered the veteran years of the rugged ranger of Arden. And now in his sere and yellow leaf one scornful look from the eyes of Panchita O'Brien had flooded the autumnal landscape with a tardy and delusive summer heat.
