"Rather an unexpected attitude for you." "I love people who do unexpected things. Didn't you always adore the man who slew a lion in a pit on a snowy day? RATHER AN UNEXPECTED ATTITUDE FOR YOU I LOVE PEOPLE WHO DO UNEXPECTED THINGS DIDN'T YOU ALWAYS ADORE THE MAN WHO SLEW A LION IN A PIT ON A SNOWY DAY
ompany with 'Child with Bunch of Primroses,' and all that crowd." "Youth," said the Other, "should suggest innocence." "But never act on the suggestion. I don't believe the two ever really go together. People talk vaguely about the innocence of a little child, but they take mighty good care not to let it out of their sight for twenty minutes. The watched pot never boils over. I knew a boy once who really was innocent; his parents were in Society, but they never gave him a moment's anxiety from his infancy. He believed in company prospectuses, and in the purity of elections, and in women marrying for love, and even in a system for winning at roulette. He never quite lost his faith in it, but he dropped more money than his employers could afford to lose. When last I heard of him, he was believing in his innocence; the jury weren't. All the same, I really am innocent just now of something everyone accuses me of having done, and so far as I can see, their accusations will remain unfounded. H A PINK CARNATION IN CATALOGUE COMPANY WITH CHILD WITH BUNCH OF PRIMROSES AND ALL THAT CROWD YOUTH SAID THE OTHER SHOULD SUGGEST INNOCENCE BUT NEVER ACT ON THE SUGGESTION I DON'T BELIEVE THE TWO EVER REALLY GO TOGETHER PEOPLE TALK VAGUELY ABOUT THE INNOCENCE OF A LITTLE CHILD BUT THEY TAKE MIGHTY GOOD CARE NOT TO LET IT OUT OF THEIR SIGHT FOR TWENTY MINUTES THE WATCHED PART NEVER BOILS OVER I KNEW A BOY ONCE WHO REALLY WAS INNOCENT HIS PARENTS WERE IN SOCIETY BUT THEY NEVER GAVE HIM A MOMENT'S ANXIETY FROM HIS INFANCY HE BELIEVED IN COMPANY PROSPECTUSES AND IN THE PURITY OF ELECTIONS AND IN WOMEN MARRYING FOR LOVE AND EVEN IN A SYSTEM FOR WINNING AT ROULETTE HE NEVER QUITE LOST HIS FAITH IN IT BUT HE DROPPED MORE MONEY THAN HIS EMPLOYERS COULD AFFORD TO LOSE WHEN LAST I HEARD OF HIM HE WAS BELIEVING IN HIS INNOCENCE THE JURY WEREN'T ALL THE SAME I REALLY AM INNOCENT JUST NOW OF SOMETHING EVERYONE ACCUSES ME OF HAVING DONE AND SO FAR AS I CAN SEE THEIR ACCUSATIONS WILL REMAIN UNFOUNDED
