"I mean I want you to get Henshaw away from him, and keep him away." Arkwright's face darkened with an angry flush. "Great Scott, Calderwell! What are you talking about? Henshaw is no kid to be toted home, and I'm no nursery governess to do the toting!"
Dan stammered, and forgot much that he had thought he knew. Lieutenant Bradshaw set down a mark of 2.9, whereas Dalzell, had he stuck sensibly to the business in hand, would have been marked as high as Dave had been. As the section was marching back to Bancroft Dan whispered: "Dave, did you hear the old owl go 'too-whoo' at me in the section room?" "Stop talking in section!" ordered Dave crisply.
Cousin Hetty nodded dry, though not uncordial greetings to the strangers and said crisply, "You're welcome enough to sit around anywhere you can find, and eat your lunch here, but where you're going to find anything to show off, beats me."

"It's not an especially amusing occupation; but it is about the only thing for us to do at present.
“The personage mistrusts his own susceptibility. Born cautious,” explained Doña Rita crisply with the slightest possible quiver of her lips. “Suddenly I had the inspiration to make use of Azzolati, who had been reminding me by a constant stream of messages that he was an old friend. I never took any notice of those pathetic appeals before.

He shook hands all around, coming to Sykes last. "Sorry I lost my temper, Professor," he said gruffly. "Forget it, Major." Sykes smiled. He really admired the gruff spaceman. The thick-set senior officer came to smart attention, saluted crisply, turned, and left the office. For the time being, the mysterious trouble on Venus was his responsibility. "Atom City express leaving on Track Four!"
Scobell's solicitors, who had instructions to sell the journal, if, as its owner crisply put it, they could find any chump who was enough of a darned chump to give real money for it.
