If I can just tell him how much I love him,
before he makes love to me we can get on such a sensible footing with
each other. I'll command the situation then.
But suppose I do get Polk calmed down to a nice friendship after old
Plato's recipe, what if I want to marry him?
Do I want to marry a friend?
Yes, I do!
No--no!
CHAPTER V
DEEPER THAN SHOULDERS AND RIBS
There are many fundamental differences between men and women which
strike deeper than breadth of shoulders and number of ribs on the right
side.
Men deliberately unearth matters of importance and women stumble on the
same things in the dark. It is then a question of the individual as to
the complications that result. One thing can be always counted on. A
woman likes to tangle life into a large mass and then straighten out the
threads at her leisure--and the man's leisure too.
Glendale affairs interest me more every day.
This has been a remarkable afternoon and I wish Jane had been in
Glendale to witness it.
"Say, Evelina, all the folks over at our house have gone crazy, and I
wish you would come over and help Cousin James with 'em," Henrietta
demanded, as I sat on my side porch, calmly hemming a ruffle on a dress
for the Kitten. Everybody sews for the twins and, as much as I hate it,
I can't help doing it.
"Why, Henrietta, what is the matter?" I demanded, as I hurried down the
front walk and across the road at her bare little heels.
