Van Vechten's offence, he answered, "My sister says some foolish things, I know, but it is my request that you attend to her while she stays, and I expect to be obeyed." That last word was unfortunate, for Rosamond had a strong will of her own, and tapping her little foot upon the ground, she said saucily, "And suppose you are not obeyed?"
"It would be a change at all events, and 'variety is charming. As it is, you have both fallen out." "You are getting too funny for anything," says Tita, tilting her chin saucily.

"Any one at home?" she inquired saucily as she stepped inside.
