"NON," he answered, very decidedly; "dat piano, he vairee smart; he got plentee word, lak' de leetle yellow bird in de cage 'ow you call heem de cannarie. He spik' moch. Bot dat violon, he spik' more deep, to de heart, lak' de Rossignol. He mak' me feel more glad, more sorree dat fo' w'at Ah lak' heem de bes'!"
With his bald head and piercing eyebrows he made her think of a gigantic worm. When he spoke his head waggled just as a worm's head waggles when it tops a rose bush. "There was chicken " he remembered petulantly, "I like that cold " "It was vairee good " Felicia assured him. Just to hear Felicia say "Vairee" mouthing it as Mademoiselle D'Ormy had done, was refreshingly different.
It was Piqueur who told me this song. Piqueur is a vairee old gardener, who once was a soldier. He fought in battle. He was hurt vairee much. His head has nevaire been quite right since then. But some one taught him to be a vairee good gardener and that made him forget how frightful war had been.
I can see vairee well. I saw myself " she paused, "in a mirror, you know, I was that surprised " she managed to laugh a little. "But Wheezy dear, there's a man who has to know that I am Felicia Day. Will you tell him that you know I am?" The Wheezy promised eagerly. And then Felicia whistled a while longer, because one little gray moth, more daring than the rest wanted to hear,
You see the idea was that he could pay his room rent architecting, a "vairee practical" idea Felice assured Janet. But Janet sniffed. Everybody brought somebody else.

It was "vairee businesslike," the same sort of "businesslike" that Felice herself had been when she made the bargain with the Poetry Girl to pay double rent if she should ever be earning anything.
"I do not know anything about it," she said demurely, and added with one of her casual references to the illustrious dead she treated them all as though they were contemporary "I think Heloise might know what to do. One of the things Abelard loved about her was that she always knew what to do she was vairee good at administrating, like Janet, don't you think?"
"It was just that I was tired that Uncle Peter's room was rather hot that I liked to hear the man sing I'm vairee well " Her drawling "vairee" sounded anything but well, it was almost a sob in itself. "Truly vairee well " She was still "very well" a few moments later when she and Janet settled themselves in the luxurious car. They were the oddest pair.

Which fresh sally seemed to explode uncontrollable mirth about the basement dining-room. Flapping his wonderful gauntlets together he called a farewell from the doorway.
I feel vairee cowardly. You must send your Majesty-of-the-Law down to me. I am a little afraid alone. And tell Blythe to come. Tell him quickly. I do not like this job, so I must do it quickly." Felicia was absolutely wrong about why the erratic Graemer had come to see her.
