Gee! ain't you a great one to get mad so quick! Touchy! I only said not till we're engaged." He skirted the crowd, guiding her skilfully. "Stingy! Stingy! I know 'em that ain't so stingy as you." "Charley!" "What?" "Aw, I'm ashamed to say it." "Listen! They're playing the new one 'Up to Snuff! Faster! Don't make me drag you, kiddo. Faster!"
Weary delivered a parting whack, put on his hat and looked at her uncertainly; grinned sheepishly when the humor of the thing came to him slowly, and finally sat down upon the porch steps and laughed with her. "Oh, gee! It was too funny," gasped the girl, sitting up and wiping her eyes. Weary gasped also, though it was a small matter a common little word of three letters.
In a few minutes the little fire of twigs and leaves was blazing merrily. Tommy held the sheet of paper near the glow. The paper curled a little with the heat. Nothing more. Suddenly Julius grasped his arm, and pointed to where characters were appearing in a faint brown colour. "Gee whiz! You've got it! Say, that idea of yours was great. It never occurred to me."
Wind slewed as through a canon, whistling in high pitch. "Gee!" "Fine little joy lane for your Christmas Eve, eh? Don't go, Marj. Have a heart and be a sport. Let me blow you to a supper down at Harry's for old times' sake. Didn't you promise my old woman to keep an eye on me? Didn't you? For old times' sake, Marj. It's Christmas."

"Amen!" agreed Bobby. "Wait till she sees Bobby's knickers," chuckled Dora Lockwood. "You know Gee Gee always looks as though she wanted to put on blinders when she comes into the girls' gym." Of course, these remarks were not passed in history class. But Dora was somehow inattentive just the same on this morning. She sat on one side of Hester Grimes and Dorothy on the other.
"I obtained all this and a great deal more from a lady who spent a year or two inside the castle walls. I refer to Mrs. Truxton King, who might have told you as much if you had possessed the intelligence to inquire."

You want to find out about them ... and you get to wishing they could all go on back home to-morrow. Say, who started this talk, anyhow? Come on, let's go back in." "Wait a minute!" McGee seized his arm and turned him around. "There's plenty of time before the curtain. Look, Buzz.
Clerk in their biggest display; in three months a raise to ninety dollars. Can you beat it? Ninety dollars would send all the shipping clerks of the world off in a faint." "Gee, it it's swell!" "And " "Look! Look!" "Persimmons!" A golden mound of them lay at the base of a tree, piled up against the hole, bursting, brown. "Persimmons! Here; taste one, little missy. They're fine." "Eat 'em?"
Matthews was restlessly pacing the short stretch of beach when the boat tied up to the wharf. Norah and Professor Brierly joined Matthews as Jimmy and Harry Stoy got out of their boat.
