Page:My Friend Annabel Lee (1903).pdf/85



O-DAY my friend Annabel Lee and I went to the theater and we saw a wonderful and fascinating woman with long dark-red hair upon the stage.

She is attractive, that red-haired woman—adorably attractive. And she reminds one of many things.

Annabel Lee was greatly interested in her acting, and was charmed with herself—and so was I.

"Do you suppose she finds life very delightful?" I said to my friend.

"I don't suppose," my friend replied, "she is of the sort that considers whether or not life is delightful. Probably her work is hard enough to keep her out of mischief of any kind."
