But, if these fabulous creatures ever existed, they only survive now in a few daring, youngish married men who make it their business to flirt with girls. I need not warn you against these, Caroline, because [Illustration: "_Numbers of young women do the seeking and the hunting._"] I know that you are a proud little lady, and one, therefore, whose instincts would tell you that the attentions of a married man were merely an insult, disguised in whatever form they happened to be. BUT IF THESE FABULOUS CREATURES EVER EXISTED THEY ONLY SURVIVE NOW IN A FEW DARING YOUNGISH MARRIED MEN WHO MAKE IT THEIR BUSINESS TO FLIRT WITH GIRLS I NEED NOT WARN YOU AGAINST THESE CAROLINE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A PROUD LITTLE LADY AND ONE THEREFORE WHOSE INSTINCTS WOULD TELL YOU THAT THE INTENTIONS OF A MARRIED MAN WERE MERELY AN INSULT DISGUISED IN WHATEVER FORM THERE HAPPENED TO BE
