Excerpt from The Woman From Outside Swan
The young sergeant raised his head with a grin. He was a good-looking, long-limbed youth with a nota ble blue eye, and a glance of mirthful sobriety. No, thanks, he drawled.

When I drove up he'd say: 'what the hell are you doing up here?' And when I told him he'd come back with his well - known embellishments of language: 'has the nothing better to do than tote Doc Gid dings' love-letters P' A great laugh greeted this sally: they are so grate ful for the smallest of jokes on winter afternoons up N orth.
Doc Giddings subsided, but the discussion Went on without him.
