'She's talking to that mirror again, farther?' says Misst Craddock. Father Cradock turns round slowly from the book he is eating and explains that it is just a face she is going through and they're all the same at that age.

falsie: good thing you seem to have at least eight friends with well-stocked bars then. and no woman would question you either, if you stayed out all night.

Uh oh. Now I know where I went wrong. I did not know my place.
As always, snopes.com is informative.
