'Poor Miss Handsome-does cuts but a sorry figure beside Miss Handsome-is in every man's eyes, your own not excepted, Mr. Knight, though it pleases you to throw off so, said Elfride saucily.

Symptoms of too great interest bore one. I enjoy more the men who are impervious to me. Now there's my father. He comes nearer understanding me than anybody else, but he's quite adamantine to my wiles." "I shall order a suit of chain armor at once." "An unnecessary expense. Your emotions are quite under control," she told him saucily. "I wish I were as sure."
Now all is covered with hard-frozen snow, over which the sleigh-bells sound merrily as the teams come dashing along.

Other sleighs, built for lightness and speed, are drawn by fast-trotting horses, in which the Americans take so much delight.

Slowly, fearfully, he raised his eyes until she came within the range of their vision, first to her shoes, then to her stockings, her skirt, gaudy jacket and at last met her eyes, which were smiling at him saucily over the rosebud which she was holding to her lips.

The Justice took a notion to have his big girls and his little girls, his boy and nurse, his wife, and himself as the sheltering stem of the whole young growth, in one canvas. But the great achievement was Sam Winnington's picture of Clarissa, "not as a crazy Kate this time," she told him saucily, "but myself in my hair and brocade, to show what a grand lady I can be."
"Leave the room," interposed Kneebone, angrily. "No, I shan't," replied Rachel, saucily. "I came to see Jack Sheppard, and I won't go till you point him out to me. You told me he was going back to Newgate after supper, so I mayn't have another opportunity." "Oh! he told you that, did he?" said Blueskin, marching up to her, and chucking her under the chin.

It is one of the few English words I do not know or forget. I believe, to make them, however, is a medical peculiarity." "Puns, madame, puns, not pills. Don't forget it now. It is time you were beginning to master our language. You know you are almost grown up!" and Favraud looked at her saucily.

"Come with me," she added, pulling him up and out on to the steps. When they were down by the water in their little garden, Jacqueline looked saucily in her husband's face. "I would have you to know, you old gaby, that when my lady fair goes out, a piece of gold comes into our savings-box." "Oh, ho!" said the constable, who stood silent and meditative before his wife.
