"But Babe doesn't care two pins for him." "Perhaps. Perhaps not. Wait and see." "Of course she doesn't. Fancy Babe in love!" He giggled derisively at the idea. "Fancy Melchisedek neat and dressed up in a pink bow!" she retorted. "It seems impossible now; but it will occur in time. Allyn, what do you suppose sent Babe into medicine?" "Sheer Babe-ishness." "She won't stay there." "Maybe.
The other girls therefore set her down as "odd." "Why, she hasn't a single picture on her bureau," said one girl who was visiting Cora. "Don't you suppose she has any folks?" "Maybe they're so ugly they're afraid of breaking the camera if they pose for a picture," giggled another light-minded girl.
He had evidently heard something about him and wanted to show off and get some fun out of this learned scoundrel. "C'est une manifestation, mon cher?" Sipiagin muttered through his teeth. Kollomietzev giggled. "Oui, mon cher, une manifestation necessaire par temps qui court!"
He took a flying leap to the edge of the hole, and, having miscalculated the distance, slid over after the barrels. Over and over he rolled, bringing up breathless against something soft. "I knew you'd come to get me," giggled Betty, "but you needn't have hurried. Are there any more barrels coming?" Bob was immensely relieved to find that she was unhurt.
"You needn't expect me to lie down like that and put my feet on the coachman's back. Aubrey would have a fit." "You are positively low," said Bee, straightening herself. I giggled helplessly at her instructions. They were so beyond my power to carry them out properly. "Can't I sit like this? Can't I be comfortable? What's a victoria for, anyhow?" I demanded. "Call the dog!" was Bee's only answer.
The "imp" turned her head and winked back at the irritated saleswoman in such a grotesque fashion that the lively Lizzie giggled again, for which she was told she ought to be ashamed of herself. Good-natured Lizzie admitted the truth of this accusation, but declared that Becky was so funny she "just couldn't help laughing." "You call it 'funny," the other exclaimed; "I call it impudence.

"Red ink, Andrea," her Uncle Jimmie had demanded, as the black-eyed waiter bent over him, "and ginger ale for the offspring." Eleanor giggled. It was fun to be with Uncle Jimmie in a restaurant again.
At the end of which time he had muttered in his ruddy beard "spunky as ever spunky as ever" and began to hector Amy Annetta, who giggled foolishly over his sallies where Ellen would have retorted bitingly. Ellen thought these things over as she walked home, tasting them with reminiscent relish. The moonlit air sparkled with frost. The snow crisped under her feet.
As she made her way, moaning softly, to the farther door that opened into the cheerless corridor, there was audible a suppressed but decided giggle. It proceeded from Freckles. The monitor warned her, but, unheeding, the little girl giggled again. A ripple of laughter started down the three tables, but was quickly suppressed.
When I was alone with boys much younger than myself I could say smart things, and I had a hope that when I should go into formal "company" I would, with one evening's achievement, place myself high above the numbskulls who had giggled at me.
