He answered, snuggling close and much comforted. "Don't ever, ever do that again, Billy," I said, giving him both a hug and a shake. "It's piggy to eat more than you can hold and then still want more. What would your father say?" "Doc ain't no good and I don't care what he says," answered Billy with spirit. "He don't play no more and he don't laugh no more and he don't eat no more hardly, too.
Garvey as the party of the third part, it was a tight fit. From the way Vee chatters on, though, you'd think it was some merry lark we was indulgin' in. "This is what I call our piggy car," says she, "for we can never ask but one other person at a time. But it's heaps better than having no car at all.

Me an' Jakin are the only acting- drummers that'll be took along. All the rest is full men, an' we'll get our medals with them." "They might ha' taken anybody but you, Piggy. You'll get killed you're so venturesome. Stay with me, Piggy darlin', down at the Depot, an' I'll love you true, for ever." "Ain't you goin' to do that now, Cris? You said you was."

She was not proposing to bring out her tremendous interrogation just yet. "Poor Mrs Antrobus. Toothache!" she said. "I was in the chemist's this morning and who should come in but Miss Piggy, and she wanted a drop of laudanum and had to say what it was for, and even then she had to sign a paper.

She went a little further, and she met a dog. So she said to the dog: "Dog! bite pig; piggy won't go over the stile; and I shan't get home to-night." But the dog wouldn't.
Mavis could see how the "permanent" despised her because she was merely nursing her first-born. "'As Piggy 'ad a go at your box yet?" she one day asked Mavis, who replied: "I'm too careful. I always keep it locked." "Locks ain't nothin' to her. If you've any letters from a gentleman, as would compromise him, burn them." "Why?" "If she gets hold of 'em, she'll make money on 'em."
