Put that dirty handkerchief out of sight. I don't want your
book. I am only the hired girl. You can come in, however, and talk
with the lady of the house. She called me a liar this morning and I
think she needs something of the kind."
_Under Similar Conditions_
"Speaking of men falling in love and ardently pursuing the object of
their affections, you needn't make fun of any one, John. You were
bound to have me, but you can't say I ever ran after you."
"Very true, Anastasia, the trap never runs after the rat, but it

_His First Move_
A bashful cowboy, returning from the plains to civilized society
after an absence of several years, fell desperately in love at first
sight with a pretty young girl whom he met at a party.
On leaving the house that evening the young lady forgot her
overshoes, and the hostess, who had noticed the Westerner's
infatuation, told the young Lochinvar that he might return them to
the girl if he wished. The herder leaped at the chance and presented
himself in due time at the young lady's house.
