The girl faced him with brave unconcern, with such reckless defiance that Lon drew down his already darkened brow. "Yer gettin' sassy!" Lem grunted, with his mouth full of food. Cronk held his peace. He peered at her covertly, as if he would discover what had so changed her since the night before.
You wouldn't have to go away then, nor My soul and body! some one's knockin' at the door! The last sentence was a smothered shriek. Keziah heeded not. Neither did she heed the knock at the door. Her hands were opening and closing convulsively. "Be glad!" she repeated. "Glad to marry a good-for-nothin' sand-peep like you! You sassy GET down off that chair and out of this house!
But I 'lowed 't war toler'ble sassy in Birt ter stand thar peerin' at me through the chinkin'. I never let on, though, ez I viewed him.

The woman was furious as she glared out at Jim. "I could throttle you, you sassy, long legged cub," she yelled, "only I got orders from the cap'n to stay in this here room, and I obeys him." She made a quick motion with her hand to a place near the jamb of the door. "Run, Señor, for your life," cried the poor demented woman; "the Devil and his dogs are coming."
"Well," said Billings, defensively, "the feller is a straggler, without papers to show where he belonged, and he was very sassy to me called me a liar, and said other mean things, right before my men, and I had to order him bucked-and-gagged to shut him up." "Strange," said General; "I always found him very respectful and obedient. I thought I hadn't a better soldier in my brigade."
"Give it to him, Pewee," said Ben Berry; "he's too sassy." Pewee was a rather good-natured dog he had to be set on. He now began to strike at Jack. Whether he was to be killed or not, Jack did not know, but he was resolved not to submit to the bully. Yet he could not do much at defence against Pewee's hard fists.
There's a whole passel of sassy rebel cavalry out in front, that's been entirely too familiar and free, and we want to get a good whack at them before they know what's up."
