What you gonna do when Mr. Fulton Whitney hears about this debilment? It isn't devilment, Emma protested, bending close to the little mirror beside the door and pinching her cheeks to make them pink.

In this scene from "Emma And The Outlaw" by Linda Lael Miller, Emma attempts to justify her plans to Daisy, insisting that what they are planning is merely a picnic and entirely innocent. She is clearly trying to downplay the situation and make it seem harmless while preparing herself for the event by pinching her cheeks for color.
Daisy humorously counters Emma's defense by referencing a biblical story, likening Emma's situation to Eve's attempts to convince Adam of innocence. This exchange highlights the contrast between Emma's earnestness and Daisy's playful skepticism, setting a light-hearted tone in the dialogue as they navigate their adventure.
