It was a dismal, gloomy sort of hole, and spoony couples seemed to scent it out by instinct, and would spend hours there over a pot of tea and assorted pastry. "Idyllic," some folks would have thought it: I used to get the fair dismals watching it. There was one girl a weird-looking creature, with red eyes and long thin hands, that gave you the creeps to look at.
They had lived together, and as he grew older Ben had managed to get along until he had quite a decent place in a store. "And then," exclaimed Dick with disgust, "blest if he didn't go an' marry a gal! Just went and got spoony an' hadn't any more sense left! Married her, an' set up housekeepin' in two back rooms. An' a hefty un she was, a regular tiger-cat.
Now I reflexes, I heerd Mattie spoony on some father or other, afore. O Lord! I'll get Jim and Jack to help me look out for him. I'm wery peticlar glad as I found you, daddy. I been a lookin' for ye leastways I was a goin' to look for ye this wery moment as you turns up. I chaffed you like a zorologicle monkey yesterday, daddy, an' I'm wery sorry.
Should they happen to fall in the way of any foreigners, we beg them to believe that this is not the way in which American women converse.

First thing he knows, a cadet, being a natural gallant, anyway, goes so far in being spoons with some girl that he has to act like a gentleman, then, and declare intentions. A fellow can't show a nice girl a whole lot of spoony attentions, and then back off, letting the girl discover that he has been only fooling all summer.
"Was I not right about that labelling? O heavens! what idiots we girls are! That a dozen soft words should have bowled me over like a ninepin, and left me without an inch of ground to call my own. And I was so proud of my own strength; so sure that I should never be missish, and spoony, and sentimental! I was so determined to like him as Mark does, or you "
As soon as they came out, he walked up to Beauchamp. "You called me a spoony," he said through his set teeth. "I did," answered Beauchamp, with an admirable drawl of indifference. Alec replied with a blow; whereupon Beauchamp knocked him down. But he was up in a moment; and, although his antagonist was both older and bigger, the elasticity of his perfect health soon began to tell.
As Dick pushed aside the flap and entered his tent, he beheld his chum and roommate, Greg Holmes, now a cadet lieutenant, carefully transferring himself to his spoony dress uniform.

"Oh, loyal swain!" laughed Greg in mock admiration.
If I were to begin to abuse him, perhaps I should get you to praise him. 'Oh, mamma, I did not abuse him. 'Something like it, my dear, when you said he was spoony. 'Oh, mamma, I would not abuse him for worlds I know how good he is, I know how you love him, but, but and Gertrude, though very little given to sobbing moods, burst into tears.
His son has taken his father's seat in Parliament, and has of course joined Young England. He is the only man in the country who believes in the De Mogynses, and sighs for the days when a De Mogyns led the van of battle. He has written a little volume of spoony puny poems.
