I have many female friends, some white-haired gran'dames, some mere girls in short dresses. But for their kindly interest and encouragement I would have cast aside the faber and fled to the desert long ago. The friendship of a noble woman is life's holiest perfume; but that is not the affinity of souls, the supernatural spooning, the Platonic yum-yum for which fair Stella pleads.
"But I must have used up all my fund of cheerfulness for those poor blessés. It does seem as though the font of my jollity had quite dried up." "I wish Heavy Stone were here," said Helen suddenly. "She'd make us laugh." "She and her French colonel are spooning down there at Lighthouse Point," scoffed Ruth and not at all as Ruth Fielding was wont to speak. "Say!"
He had slightly emphasised his tone and he was aware that he had betrayed himself; but, though the colour had heightened in his cheek, he did not flinch from his friend's gaze. Ignatius Gallaher watched him for a few moments and then said: "If ever it occurs, you may bet your bottom dollar there'll be no mooning and spooning about it. I mean to marry money.
Marraine flung a slender golden chain around Polly's neck. "Oh, you darling, you darling!" murmured Polly. "But you are the best of all birthday presents, Marraine, the very best of all!"

"Tell her the truth, that I found Wade here in this room with Dorothy Purnell, at night; that they came here for an assignation, because it was the one place in Crawling Water...." Rexhill got to his feet with an exclamation of disgust. "Well, say, then, that they came here to rifle the place, but that when I caught them they were spooning.
"I think we'd better cough or do something," she said. "There's a couple in there going on disgracefully. I do think spooning in public such bad form."

'Kostalergi; they call themselves princes. 'With all my heart. I was only going to say, as you've got a sort of knack of entanglement is there, or has there been, anything of that sort here? 'Flirtation a little of what is called "spooning" but no more. But why do you ask? 'First of all, you are an engaged man. 'All true, and I mean to keep my engagement.
