"Oh you " began Belle with an arch look at Cora's brother. "Now we're going to take a preliminary look at things with you, Cora," said Bess. "I'm just dying to get a certain bonnet that I saw in the window." "Toot-toot! Farewell!" cried Jack, as he puffed in imitation of an auto and turned up the street.
As to his 'friend' who told him that I had 'imitated Tennyson, why I can only say and feel that it is very particularly provoking to hear such things said, and that I wish people would find fault with my 'metre' in the place of them. In the matter of 'Geraldine' I shall not be puffed up. I shall take to mind what you suggest. Of course, if you find it hard to read, it must be my fault.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
He paused at the doorway and lit a cigar. "And one thing I could tell you, Gurin," he concluded. "Either you would send us a check the first thing to-morrow morning, oder we would give your account to our lawyers, and that's all there is to it."

I waited for you back there, and then hunted you up.
Still he carried a high head in the community: if his sugar-loaf hat was rather the worse for wear, he set it oft with a taller cock's tail; if his shirt was none of the cleanest, he puffed it out the more at the bosom; and if the tail of it peeped out of a hole in his breeches, it at least proved that it really had a tail and was not a mere ruffle.
Five minutes later Kirby sat at his private desk, while Brammle puffed at a cigar by the window. He handed the orders back to Brammle, and the major eyed the addition with subdued amazement. "What'll D Squadron say?" he asked. "Remains to be seen" said Kirby.
The mayor, puffed up with pride, marched up and down the room, agitated by a storm of feelings. He put himself into position as if he were about to speak, but he dared not.
