Then you jumped up and down in your father's arms, and spatted your little pink hands together, and called out 'Ah-Jah! That's what you used to call me then, and everybody all over the church smiled. How could they help it?" "Gee! I must 'a' been some kid!" said Allison, slipping down into a comfortable position among the pillows.
She was smartly hatted and smartly spatted; smart all over from toque-tip to toe-tip. "I didn't know until almost the last minute that I'd have to catch this train, and trusted to chance for a seat." "Yes'm, I see," commiserated the man in blue.
He clasped his hands, pressed them till the fingers of one gouged the back of the other. Father was not a Uriah Heep. At Pilkings & Son's he had often "talked back" to some of his best customers. But now he would gladly have licked Mrs. Vance Carter's spatted shoes. "No oh, bring us some lettuce sandwiches and some orange pekoe. I don't think we care for any doughnuts," said Mrs.
It had an edge of horn sewed on with thongs, too. Monnie threw loose snow on the snow house and spatted it down with the back of the shovel. While she was doing this, Menie and Koko built a tunnel entrance for the dogs just like the big one on the stone house.
The Mexican soldiers must have struck their trail, or perhaps had followed them from El Paso; for early in the morning there was a sudden shooting from all around, and much yelling. Bullets whined and spatted, and horses screamed and fell over. "Into the cave!" shouted Painted-red. "Quick!" Hustled by old Bluff and Painted-red, into the cave they bolted.

These she handed to another girl, who spatted them flat and thin by tossing them from one of her smooth bare arms to the other until they were but a little thicker than a knife blade.
Good Indian was there, saying little and listening attentively to the comments made upon the subject, and when the last bit of yellow gravel had been spatted into place he rode down through the Indian camp on his way home, thankful that everyone seemed to accept the verdict of suicide as being final, and anxious that Rachel should know it.
Then the Prophet spatted his palm upon the legend on his breast and clacked a disdainful digit off the pivot of his thumb. Tasper Britt, even in his hottest ire, had been restrained in the past by some influence from laying violent hands on this peculiar personage. It was evident that Starr was controlled by a similar reluctance and that his forbearance was puzzling him.
At the same time something spatted into the trail ahead of him, sending up a little spurt of fine sand. Keno started, perked up his ears toward the place, and went on, stepping gingerly. Good Indian's lips drew back, showing his teeth set tightly together. "Still at it, eh?" he muttered aloud, pricked Keno's flanks with his rowels, and galloped around the Point.
As she came, slower than ever, down the broad opulent pavement of Queen's Gate, through the silence and emptiness of Sunday for the church bells were long ago silent she noticed coming towards her, with a sauntering step, an old gentleman in frock coat and silk hat of a slightly antique appearance, spatted and gloved, carrying his hands behind his back, as if he were waiting to be joined by some friend from one of the houses.
