"Watch 'em, Miss Ro' Mary; watch 'em smell Sniffie when I call her over here," exclaimed Tobe as he held out the pan to Mrs. Sniffer and thus coaxed her from the side of Rose Mary and the small family.
What ball, indeed! And she had heard her sisters speak of nothing else for a fortnight. 'Why, my ball; our ball, everybody's ball! Why, don't you know that the world is going to stand still on Thursday night in amazement. And if you didn't know, now you know; and that's the ball you're coming to, as sure as my name is Jack Horner now, now, I've set my mind on it Nan was no longer a hypocrite.

All grey-blue even to the little ornaments on the mantelpiece, all except the black tiger. Fancy working in a place like this! Different to Miss Jubb's!
It is impossible to express the change that appeared in the very countenances of the people that Thursday morning when the weekly bill came out.
