"You need to remember kiddies is tender skinned, anyway. Starch'll sure make 'em sore." Scipio brightened. "Why, yes," he agreed, with relief. "I didn't jest think about that. I'm a heap obliged, Sunny. You always seem to help me out." The flush of pleasure which responded to the little man's tribute was quite distinguishable through the dirt on the loafer's face.
It was a rushing season at the factory, there being many large orders to fill; the mill hummed night and day and in consequence the scores of glass-makers looked happy and prosperous. No one was out of employment or on half pay, and none of the workmen dreaded Christmas because there was nothing to put in the kiddies' stockings. With Christmas came Uncle Bob and oh, what a holiday there was then!
RISPOLÓZHENSKY. He, he, he! Lázar Elizárych! How could I plunder anybody? My business is of a small sort. I'm like a little bird, picking up small grains. PODKHALYÚZIN. You deal in small quantities, of course? RISPOLÓZHENSKY. You'd deal even in small quantities if you couldn't get anything else. Well, it wouldn't matter so much if I were alone; but, you see, I have a wife and four kiddies.
And so, kiddies, can I go out? You won’t be frightened and cry when I’m gone?” “We sha—all cry,” drawled Kostya, on the verge of tears already. “We shall cry, we shall be sure to cry,” Nastya chimed in with timid haste. “Oh, children, children, how fraught with peril are your years!

A first group had strolled up, indolent and insolent at the spectacle of them. "Photographs! Photographs! Take the folks back home a signed photograph of Teenie only ten cents, one dime.

Can you imagine a woman like me? I can't. She has red hair or something very near it. And there the resemblance stops. I'll take you to see her some day if you'll come." "Thank you," said Olga guardedly. "Don't mention it!" said Max. "There are two kiddies also a boy and a girl. It's quite a domestic establishment. I often go there when I want a rest.
"Well, now, I hadn't thought about pay, but I guess the kiddies themselves do. You can't think how they enjoy it all." "H'm!" said French, "I think I'll go along and see how you do it. I won't scare 'em out, will I?" "Well, now I hadn't thought of that," said Michael. "In fact, I didn't suppose you'd care to go all the way, but if you think you do, I guess it will be all right."
Here's to Gentleman George, God bless him! 'Mong the pals of the prince I have heard it's the go, Before they have tippled enough, To smarten their punch with the best curagoa, More conish to render the stuff. I boast not such lush; but whoever his glass Does not like, I'll be hanged if I press him! Upstanding, my kiddies, round, round let it pass! Here's to Gentleman George, God bless him!
'Well, don't do it again, said mother. 'And now, away with melancholy! Father has sent a telegram. Look! She held it out, and the children, holding it by its yielding corners, read 'Box for kiddies at Garrick. Stalls for us, Haymarket. Meet Charing Cross, 6.30.
I was dreadfully afraid he was going to laugh at me, it sounded so much like pulpiteering. But I was in earnest, passionately in earnest, and my lord and master seemed to realize it. "Have you thought about the kiddies?" he asked me, for the second time. "I'm always thinking about the kiddies," I told him, a trifle puzzled by the wince which so simple a statement could bring to his face.
