Diamond Tolls (1920)

"Hello, girlee!" he repeated, turning to close the door. ... ... As he reached to the back of the other chair she drew her automatic pistol and fired. "Agrrah!" he grunted, and then with a cry he backed away, saying: "You've shot me! Damn you, you've shot me!" She stood surprised by what she had done. It was unbelievable, incredible. She had been attacked by a man, and she had driven him from her! She had not been obliged to flee from him! "Why, it was easy," she said to herself. "All I did was just—shoot!"

"Standing at the sweeps was a slender, blue-eyed girl ... the light and wind caused her to squint ever so little."
