Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"

What a greedy mamma she is for her little
girl."
"Oh, Watts! But think!"
"It's hard work, dear, with your eyes to look at. But I will, if you'll
tell me what to think about."
"My husband! You cannot have forgotten? Oh, no! It is too horrible for
you to have forgotten that day."
"You heavenly little Puritan! So you are going to refuse Peter as a
son-in-law, because he--ah--he's not a Catholic monk. Why, Rosebud, if
you are going to apply that rule to all Dot's lovers, you had better
post a sign: 'Wanted, a husband. P.S. No man need apply.'"
"Watts! Don't talk so."
"Dear little woman. I'm only trying to show you that we can't do better
than trust our little girl to Peter."
"With that stain! Oh, Watts, give him our pure, innocent, spotless
child!"
"Oh, well. If you want a spotless wedding, let her marry the Church.
She'll never find one elsewhere, my darling."
"Watts! How can you talk so? And with yourself as an example. Oh,
husband! I want our child--our only child--to marry a man as noble and
true as her father.
