The girls looked rosy and sunburnt. This was an ideal moment for Penelope. She almost forgot Mrs. Hungerford in her delight at this meeting with her relatives. But suddenly at the last moment she remembered. "How are you, Aunt Sophy? I am scrumptiously glad to see you. How are you, Verena? How are you, Paulie? Oh! please forgive me; I must say good-bye to the chocolate old lady."
She expatiated on the same with a candour startling to the audience of aunt and her maid. "Don't I look s-weet? So slim! I'd no idea I was such a nice shape. I don't know which looks nicest, the frock on me or me in the frock! Aren't I tall? Isn't it graceful when I stand like this, and show the pleats? The hat's a duck! I must say I do look most scrumptiously nice!" "My dear!"

How scrumptiously exciting!" "My bed's over there," said Gregory. "Where do you stop at night?" Patricia asked. "I have to go to the farmers and get leave to camp on their land," said Gregory.

And he had a method in going to one of the largest and finest hotels in St. Augustine.
I can't stand the thought of eating up any organism that might ultimately become a friend. This makes me feel bad, too. I am reduced to a strictly vegetarian diet. I yearn to gobble up a few scrumptiously delicious fat babies, yet I am reduced to struggling through meals of tofu-strips and Loveburger. Oh, if only my conscience would let me feast upon a fat baby just once!
Who'd ever have thought that a nice, quiet girl like Milly, marrying the lad of her heart and all that, would come to such awful grief; while look at me a queer kind of girl you'd have laid your bottom dollar wouldn't have much luck, prospering like anything, well up in the Science business, and now, what's ever so much better, scrumptiously happy with a good sort of her own.
And she talks scrumptiously about Italy. And she's new and there's a bit of romance in it and well, there it is!" And Nora pulled off a twig from the banksia rose outside, and began to chew it energetically with her firm white teeth, by way of assisting her thoughts. "Isn't conceited!" repeated Alice with contempt. "Connie is as proud as Lucifer." "I didn't say she wasn't. But she isn't vain."
