"Did I expect to be treated this way?" shouted the injured husband. "Who can ever tell what 'Tite will do next?" That was the truth. No one could tell. Yet her flightiest moods were her most alluring moods. If she had not been so pretty and so adroit at dodging whippings when a child, 'Tite Laboise might not have set Mackinac by the ears as often as she did.
"Willingness," said Max, "a brain capable of taking fire at facts, a great position, and an open and rebellious mind. I am quoting from authority; I was given my certificate yesterday." To his Majesty this was merely the voice of Max at his flightiest. "Well," he said, "your Uncle Nostrum happens to have come first." "Do you always grant first applications?" "He has had much more experience."
"I'm the flightiest and feather-headedest ass that ever brayed," he informed me. "I just remember I sent Miss Faversham a ticket for this meeting about a fortnight ago. I had clean forgotten it, though something uncomfortable has been tickling the back of my head all the time. I'm miserably sorry." I hastened to reassure him.

She was, therefore, at her flightiest, and greeted Joan with delight. "I'm so glad Syl is not tagging on, Joan," she said.
No one who had not seen it would believe how clumsy and unthinking such girls are on first 'going out. It is, too, the flightiest and giddiest period of their existence before the girl sobers down into the woman.
Hikes says she had the flightiest clothes when he was courtin' her. Her mother left her some money, I guess, any way, 'n' there wasn't anything too rich, ner too good, ner too foreign for her to wear. 'N' look at her now! Well, it's 'long toward tea-time.
