We like it. And I think they like it, too. So Mr. Woods lost his heart on a fine spring morning and was unreasonably elated over the fact. And Margaret? WE LIKE IT AND I THINK THEY LIKE IT TOO SO MISTER WOODS LOST HIS HEART ON A FINE SPRING MORNING AND WAS UNREASONABLY ELATED OVER THE FACT AND MARGARET
 groom, Mr. Woods had made up his mind to marry her. In an instant he had fallen head over ears in love; or to whittle accuracy to a point, he had discovered that he had never fallen out of love; and if you had offered him an empress or fetched Helen of Troy from the grave for his delectation he would have laughed you to scorn. In his defense, I can only plead that Margaret was an unusually beautiful woman. It is all very well to flourish a death's-head at the feast, and bid my lady go paint herself an inch thick, for to this favour she must come; and it is quite true that the reddest lips in the universe may give vent to slander and lies, and the brightest eyes be set in the dullest head, and the most roseate of complexions be purchased at the corner drug-store; but, say what you will, a pretty woman is a pretty woman, and while she continue so no amount of common-sense or experience will prevent a man, on provocation, from alluring, coaxing, even entreating her to make a fool of him. GGAGE CHEQUE TO THE GROOM MISTER WOODS HAD MADE UP HIS MIND TO MARRY HER IN AN INSTANT HE HAD FALLEN HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE OR TO WHIDDLE ACCURACY TO A POINT HE HAD DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD NEVER FALLEN OUT OF LOVE AND IF YOU HAD OFFERED HIM AN EMPRESS OR FETCHED HELEN OF TROY FROM THE GRAVE FOR HIS DELECTATION HE WOULD HAVE LAUGHED YOU TO SCORN IN HIS DEFENSE I CAN ONLY PLEAD THAT MARGARET WAS AN UNUSUALLY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IT IS ALL VERY WELL TO FLOURISH A DEATH'S HEAD AT THE FEAST AND BID MY LADY GO PAINT HERSELF AN INCH THICK FOR TO THIS FAVOUR SHE MUST COME AND IT IS QUITE TRUE THAT THE REDDEST LIPS IN THE UNIVERSE MAY GIVE VENT TO SLANDER AND LIES AND THE BRIGHTEST EYES BE SET IN THE DULLEST HEAD AND THE MOST ROSEATE OF COMPLEXIONS BE PURCHASED AT THE CORNER DRUG STORE BUT SAY WHAT YOU WILL A PRETTY WOMAN IS A PRETTY WOMAN AND WHILE SHE CONTINUES SO NO AMOUNT OF COMMON SENSE OR EXPERIENCE WILL PREVENT A MAN ON PROVOCATION FROM ALLURING COAXING EVEN TREATING HER TO MAKE A FOOL OF HIM
