They took me to a funeral once; and I got to thinking what a stampede there would be if the corpse would come to life and sit up in the coffin, and I snickered right out, and Pa took me out doors and kicked my pants. I don't think he orter kicked me for it, cause I didn't think of it a purpose.

"Guess I'll have to show you my press notices," and from a hip pocket he produced a fat bundle of clippings in a rubber band.
I sympathized with McTavish, though McHenry snickered. The Scot went into an inner room and brought back a dirty book, a tattered register of his guests. He turned a number of pages there were only a few guests to a twelvemonth and, finding his assailant's name, wrote in capital letters against it, "THIEF." "There," he said with a magnificent gesture. "Let the whole world read and know the truth!"

It is going first to pay for the land, then to support the Home and the School, and then to furnish capital for industries." Johnson snickered. "You mean youse gwine to git yo' livin' off it?"
"I don't know why you should use such language to him." "You've put your foot in it now," snickered the little man. "And I don't know what he's grinnin' and laughin' about. You both act as if too much studyin' and tooterin' was beginnin' to affect your brains. Now, why, don't you both git married, and give up this awful wearin' life you are leadin'?"
"I had better scare them a little now than have any of them harmed the least bit." She was thinking what else she might say, to impress on the pupils the danger of the hole, when she seemed to hear, for the first time, the buzzing of Charlie's auto. "What's that?" asked Miss Bradley. No one answered, except that, here and there in the room, a boy or girl snickered.

They give it away." Mrs. Green called to him, "It's bread pudding, Mr. Mitchell, and very nice." "Thanks! My gout is bad again," he said, at which some of the more frivolous-minded boarders snickered. "Mitchell is a bright boy in many ways," Gross remarked, a moment later, "but he's too fresh. I don't think he'll last long at the office."
This feller Renzo can talk cannibal so good he makes Monitaya hunt for the dictionary, and he'll tell the chief in ten seconds what I tried half an hour to say this afternoon that ye belong.
