"I do love 'em both Johnnie an' Deanie. Ef I ever was so fortunate as to get a man and be wedded and have chaps o' my own, I know mighty well and good I couldn't love any one of 'em any better than I do Deanie. An' yet Johnnie's quare.
"Old Pros just swelled hisself out like a toad and hollered at me time I got in the room. He's sure crazy all right.
