Usage examples of "neosho".

I was only ten when Candy came in on the bus from Kansas City, but even I knew that a girl shaped like Candy, with a face like Candy, and a name like Candy had no business in a town like Neosho, Kansas.

Maybe my great-grandfather would have thought Candy was too skinny in the legs or the waist and too full in the hips and the bust, but the flabbergasted young men of Neosho wouldn't have redistributed an ounce.

Some said she was a widow, and some said she wasn't any better than she ought to be and the sheriff oughtn't to allow that sort of thing to go on in Neosho and right in the hotel, too.

She kept my socks mended, my buttons sewed on, my shirts ironed, my shoes polished, and at bed-time—Well, in Neosho that's the time we pull down the shades.

Maybe other places it's different, but in Neosho that's all we ask in a wife.

Who'd marry a Neosho girl when he could get a girl like Candy—or April?

I bet there hasn't been anyone but a Passaic girl married in Neosho in twenty years.

But the Cherokee had built something more stable and permanent along the Neosho River, which flowed serenely through a pine forest.
