The Judge shot out of his chair like a long jack-in-the box, and towered to his full height. "Mr. Brice, did you, or did you not, buy a woman at auction to-day?" "I did, sir." Mr. Whipple literally staggered. But Stephen caught a glimpse of the Colonel's hand slipping from his chin cover his mouth. "Good God, sir!" cried the Judge, and he sat down heavily. "You say that you are an Abolitionist?"
I said: "I mean the one that jerked you up and down like a Jack-in-the- box; sometimes you came down again in the right place, and sometimes you didn't. I am not referring to these matters merely to recall painful memories, but I want to impress you with the folly of trying experiments at your time of life." He said. "I wish you wouldn't harp so much on my age. A man at thirty- four "
You might know you might know, that I'm not a bad fellow at heart. But you will never see the best side of me there's fate in it. I never wanted to seem specially contrite but I must set myself jumping like a jack-in-the box for your infernally cold amusement! I had an explanation at my tongue's end. D n it!

Though, of course, he did not have anything especially for girls, he thought they would like the games and the jack-in-the box, and Mother Horton said she knew they would. It was lucky that Sunny Boy and Grandpa Horton liked to walk, for the Parkneys did not live near a car line. There was only one trolley line that went through the River Section, anyway, and they lived many blocks from that.
"There's one thing I won't do, though. I won't give or accept a present of anything sharp a knife or scissors, or even a pin, because, the saying is, it cuts friendship. I've found it so, too. I gave Clara Hayes a silver hair-pin at Christmas, and a few weeks after we quarrelled." "There is the fault, popping up like a Jack-in-the box!" said Miss Irene.
