~   ~   ~   Sentence 794   ~   ~   ~

Soapy, of course, was a good man on the land, but I never took a shine to that hard-eyed Canuck, and we'll get along, in some way or other, without him.

There'll be much closer problems than that, I imagine, before Dinkie is out of his knickers.

The hare-brained idiot was actually trying to make love to me.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,062   ~   ~   ~

I was rather afraid, at one time, that he was going to spoil it all by making love to me, after the manner of young Bud Dyruff, from the Cowen Ranch, who, because I waded bare-kneed into a warm little slough-end when the horses were having their noonday meal, assumed that I could be persuaded to wade with equal celerity into indiscriminate affection.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,064   ~   ~   ~

"Are you trying to make love to me?"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,274   ~   ~   ~

He has a heart, I know, as clean as an Alpine village, and the very sense of his remoteness, as I'd already told him, gives birth to a sort of intimacy, like the factory girl who throws a kiss to the brakeman on the through freight and remains Artemis-on-ice to the delicatessen-youth from whom she buys her supper "weenies."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,658   ~   ~   ~

I admire that woman's spunk.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,670   ~   ~   ~

Then, when he's at his crankiest, he's apt to startle you by saying the divinest things point-blank in your face, and as likely as not, after treating you as he would a rather backward child of whom he rigidly disapproves, he'll make love to you and do it with a fine old Anglo-Saxon directness.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,326   ~   ~   ~

But I can see that he is deliberately and patiently making love to my children.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,468   ~   ~   ~

Back in the old days I used to invade those mirrored and carpeted _salons_ where a trained and deferential saleswoman would slip sleazy and satin-lined moleskin coats over my arms and adjust baby-bear and otter and ermine and Hudson-seal next to my skin.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,015   ~   ~   ~

So Dinky-Dunk, who keeps saying in unexpected and intriguing ways that he can't live without me, is trying to make love to me as he did in the old days before he got salt-and-peppery above the ears.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,016   ~   ~   ~

And I'm blockhead enough to believe him.
