Excerpt: ...would not have had recourse to such weak satire as this. Cora was not the kind of person to try a popgun on an enemy when she had a thirteen-inch gun at her disposal; so he reasoned; and in the gush of his relief and happiness, responded: "You're a little too cocky lately, Cora-lee: I wish you were my daughter-just about five minutes!"

Excerpt: ...would not have had recourse to such weak satire as this. Cora was not the kind of person to try a popgun on an enemy when she had a thirteen-inch gun at her disposal; so he reasoned; and in the gush of his relief and happiness, responded: "You're a little too cocky lately, Cora-lee: I wish you were my daughter-just about five minutes!"

Since thou art gone I mourn all alone, Oh, my Lolita--" She broke off to explain: "It's one of those passionate little Spanish serenades, Hedrick. I'll sing it for your boy-friends next time they come to play in the yard. I think they'd like it. When they know why you like it so much, I'm sure they will. Of course you do like it-you roguish little lover!" A spasm rewarded this demoniacal phrase. "Darling little boy, the serenade goes on like this: Oh, my Lolita, come to my heart: Oh, come beloved, love let me press thee, While I caress thee In one long kiss, Lolita! Lolita come!
