Kirby's salute was delivered with less snap but as promptly. "Kirby, Private, Gano's." "Captain William Campbell," the officer identified himself crisply. "Any more of you?"

"Yes, ma'am; but you " Miss Polly evidently read the pause aright, for she frowned and said crisply: "No, I shall not go. It is not necessary that I should, I think. That is all." And she turned away Miss Polly's arrangements for the comfort of her niece, Pollyanna, were complete. In the kitchen, Nancy sent her flatiron with a vicious dig across the dish-towel she was ironing.
"What for?" queried Allan, as they drove away. "Reasons of my own," she answered, crisply. "Men are as blind as bats." "I'm wearing glasses," he returned, with due humility. "If you think I'm fit to hear why you left that cryptic message, I'd be pleased to." "You're far from fit. Here, turn into this road."

"Put it how you like, but that's a side show," came the answer. "We're here on business." Nugent Cassis had recovered some of his self-possession and remarked crisply: "We are very busy, Mr. Hipps."
"The Hyndses, as I have said, are good haters," finished Judge Gatchell. "And so she left Hynds House to me," said I without, I am afraid, much gratitude. "It was hers, to dispose of as she chose." The lawyer spoke crisply. "If you have any scruples, dismiss them.
