"The shed is about ten feet below, girls.
"Let's drop them out, if they're so saucy," suggested Alan. "Don't you want me to drive, Mrs. Adams?" "Thank you, Alan; but I don't dare trust you, when you are no more used to him, for he stumbles so. Go on, Job!" she added, with an inviting chirrup, as she leaned forward and rattled the whip up and down in its socket, to remind Job of its existence.
But, of course, this made Jennie and Susie feel very nervous and also a big word called apprehensive, which is the same thing. “Oh, help! Help! Will no one help us?” cried Susie at last. “No, I guess no one will,” spoke the alligator, real mean and saucy like. But he was mistaken. At that moment, hopping through the woods was Bawly No-Tail, wearing his paper soldier hat.
If you would know the value of money; go, and try to borrow some! For, he that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing! and indeed, so does he that lends to such people, when he goes to get it in again! Poor DICK further advises, and says Fond Pride of Dress is, sure, a very curse! Ere Fancy you consult; consult your purse! And again, Pride is as loud a, beggar as Want, and a great deal more saucy!

And it is a fact that throughout life he made a point of winning, as all shall see, who read Rupert Ray's story. He was a mischievous, tumbling scamp, I suppose; but what are we to say? All young animals gambol, and are saucy.
In the thicket beside us a chorus of feathered singers were all a-twitter, each trying to outdo his neighbour; but one saucy fellow piped the merriest tune of all, mingling in a delicious medley the sweetest notes of all the rest.
In the midst of the uproar, Juno, the house servant, ventured to come in by way of the library, with Harman. The child ran to his mother where she stood in the centre of the room. A saucy corporal broke out with obscene speech and plucked at the dress of the negro girl, imitating the affrighted child. Again the mistress made a vain appeal: "Do American soldiers abuse women?"
Where are you? But the tread of country turf seemed to have put wildness into little Helen. She had darted off, and hidden behind a tree, peeping out with saucy laughter flashing in her glorious black eyes, and dimpling in the plump roseate cheeks round which floated thick glossy curls of rich dark chestnut.
With her wealth of blond hair done up in a saucy knot behind; her round, honest face; her lips thick, and parted over pearly teeth; her nose saucily retrousse; and her flashing, outspoken blue eyes, this barefooted child of Nature had a certain air of authority, a consciousness of power, which made her womanly beyond her years.
