"Pooh!" retorted the postilion. "Yes. Suppose I have several mistresses. If I don't name the one we drink to what good will it do her?" "Why, that's true!" "Sad; but you'll have to try again, my friend." "Ha! Try again, of course! Can't do things half-way with a man like you. The sin's committed; we'll drink again." And Antoine held out his glass. Montbar filled it to the brim.

But, Selma, I guess I've been pretty lonely ever since the baby died." "Lonely?" she echoed. "Then my leaving you will not matter so much. Here," she said, slipping off her wedding-ring, "this belongs to you."
The green of irrigation beyond the river to eastward shone like square-cut emeralds, and southward the desert took to itself all imaginable hues at once. "Colorado!" she said then. "And Arizona! And Southern California! And something added that I can't just place!" "Sin's added by the scow-load!" growled her husband from the farther bed. "Come back, Tess, and put some clothes on!"
