Explore "Lola-sue" by F.W. Mole on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This was the genesis of the coming together of Lola-Sue and Humphrey Pryor. At heart they were akin in their love of freedom. Both loved the untrammelled life of the sparsely settled west; a life unrestrained by the strict rules of conduct and of conventions cloying rotes.
Their mateship was not orthodox, but they had no one to please but themselves, and it stirred Lola-Sue's imagination. It was a life that suited her in her present rebellious mood. She owed nothing to society, and if she became an outlaw, that was her concern. It would be what, after all, society had made her. The law had dealt with her once, but she had paid its price. She now owed it nothing. Moreover, she had no kith to concern themselves over her future conduct. In this, perhaps, she was fortunate.
