'Many littles make a mickle, and there are more deaths in skirmishes than in the field of a pitched battle.
Then the Littles heard of it and called in a few friends. One night when both sufferers were at the crisis and there seemed little hope for the minister, Christie McMertrie called in the Raffertys and they were just on the point of kneeling down when Mrs. Harricutt came to the door. She had been crying.
If you hat as much druble as I haf to ket cartridges you vould pe more garcful of dem." Capt. Littles was Rosenbaum, the Jew spy, masquerading in a new role. Shorty's heart leaped. Instantly he thought of a way to let Rosenbaum know whom he had run up against. "Corporal Si Klogg!" he called out in his loudest tones. "What is it, Shorty?" answered the wondering Si.
He coasted past the church and down the gentle incline in front of the parsonage and Joneses, and the Littles and Browns and Gibsons.

In Paris, the Germans and the English are more numerous than any other foreigners. The former toil, drudge, save their littles to make a meikle. The latter, whatever they may be at home, are, in Paris, generally loungers and consumers of the fruits of the earth. The Hungarian's errand in Vienna is to spend money: the Italian's to make it.
Billy was interrupted by Gunter making a rush at him, but the boy was too nimble for the man, besides which, Gunter's bruises, to which we have before referred, were too painful to be trifled with.

Meanwhile the "power of littles" began to tell on the capacious hold of the steamer.
"That is one of my weaknesses when I am driving; I am never able to pass a branch road without wanting to turn aside and explore it." "Then we'll explore this one, right now," said Blount, cutting the car to the left. He was more than willing to delay, even by littles, the moment when he should be obliged to resume the sorry business of waiting and dissembling.
