That's some song, ain't it? But, say, I never knew how much snap and go there was to it until I heard Miss Hampton trill it out. Why, she just tosses up that perky chin of hers and turns loose the catchy melody until you felt the warm waves splashin' and saw the moonlight dancin' across the bay! I don't know where or what this Santa Lucia thing is, but she most made me homesick to go back there.
Pinner, having thrashed silence into his red-headed son, kept that son's discovery to himself. No, Mr. Pinner intended to have the reward himself. Therefore he hoarded his secret; brooded upon it; dashed off hither and thither as the day's news brought him a Catchy Clue that seemed to fit his data. But of this George knew nothing.
"I wonder if I might prevail on you to come to tea with me to-morrow at five." He didn't so much as answer it though he could scarcely believe his ears. To-morrow was Sunday, and the proposal referred, clearly, to the custom of "five-o'clock" tea, known to him only by the contemporary novel of manners and the catchy advertisement of table-linen.
Now these freits are very catchy, and will follow folks that put faith in them, and there are many such folk to this day; and even Margaret McBride would always be putting great faith in the crowing of a cock a noble fellow he was, of the Scots Grey breed.

He would start off with an imitation of Mr H.B. Irving, and a very good imitation it would be with soft music. He would leave the Signallers thrilled and silent. The lights flashed up, and "Spot" darted off on some catchy doggerel of an almost talented obscenity. In private life Spot was the best company imaginable.
Haven't had time to set to work on it old engagement to run over to Monte Carlo for a few days but I'll leave you the book; you might care to look over it. And I say if any catchy tunes suggest themselves as you go along, you might just jot them down, you know. Not worth while losing an idea; eh, my boy! Ha! ha! ha! Well, good-bye.
With a free and easy stride he follows Vincent's directions, sails over to my corner of the private office, pulls up a chair, and camps down by the desk without any urgin'. Also he favors me with a friendly smile that he produces from one corner of his mouth. Sort of a catchy smile it is too, and before we've swapped a word I finds myself smilin' back. "Well!" says I. "You're introducin' what?"

If you can raise some photographs to go with them, you might make quite a hit. That's the kind of thing that takes. You see it makes people able to talk about the inside of rich folk's houses."
