May I have roller skates for my birthday, and a dog a small one and may I ask the boy up to play with me?" "But the boy is ugly and so is the dog. I hate ugly people," complained Fanny. "I like ugly people," retorted Archibald, glowering, not from anger, but from earnestness. "Ugly people are nicer than pretty ones, aren't they, mamma? Pang is nicer than Fanny."
"I was born a see-saw Aunty, and nothing can ever prevent me from teetering." "You ought to be more levelheaded, Philippa." "It's best to be levelheaded, of course," agreed Philippa, "but you miss lots of fun. As for Alec and Alonzo, if you knew them you'd understand why it's difficult to choose between them.

"I'd live there if I were you. Newport is very smart for America, mamma says. We're going to Newport when I grow up. I'm sure it will be nicer if you are there." Fitz thought this very likely, but was too modest to say so. "If I ever go to Newport," he said, "it will be as captain of a cup defender." "I heard your mother call you Fitz," said little Miss Burton.
Dick would answer, and so the make-believe guns were fired. The Bold Tin Soldier Captain was moved to and fro, and so were the privates, the Corporal and the Sergeant. "Now the fight is over," said Herbert, after a while. "We'll make believe both sides won, 'cause it will be nicer that way.
