Josephine Dodge Daskam Fables for the Fair — I. The Woman Who was not Athletic (1902)

The Woman who was Not Athletic looked Pensively and for Some Time at the Man.
"I am Spoiling Everything," she said softly. "Let me Go Home, and then You can Play."
"But then You could Not Learn the Game," said he, Sitting down under a Kind of Artificial Watershed and Watching the Rose-colored Reflection of her Parasol.
"Is this a Bunker?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied; "Its Purpose is to shield People Who wish to be Alone from Observation."
