"Don't worry me, child. We'll talk about it tomorrow." "How much? You've no right to hide things from me. You hurt me." "Eleven dollars and eighty cents when this bill for supper's paid and the waitress tipped." "I'll try for a place in a store," said she. "Don't talk that way or think that way," cried he angrily.

That gong was for the first table, and I'm not in the least hungry. Nevertheless, we will eat, here and now." She demurred, but he would have his way, demanding it in celebration of their meeting. He found the deck steward, tipped him, and exacted the immediate production of two dinners.

I had to canoe up three hundred miles of a shallow river, with one Indian guide, making a portage every ten miles or so, and we got tipped over in the rapids now and then the Big Chief almost got drowned once and we camped at night in the original place where they invented mosquitoes and one morning I shot a black bear just in time to keep him from eating my boots."

"We'll probably find her with a great armful of ferns and her hat tipped over one ear, and she'll be perfectly astonished to know that it's after twelve o'clock.
