Lidgerwood. When he fires, he means it." "You wait till I ask you for my job back again, won't you, Jim McCloskey?" said the disgraced one hotly. "I hain't asked it yet; and what's more, I'm sober." "Sure you are," muttered McCloskey. "You'd be better-natured with a drink or two in you. What's doing?" "That's what I came over here to find out," said Judson steadily.
But the teachers can't tell. I get kept in if Tod misses his lessons, and he gets marked if I'm late." "Don't you mind?" "No; 'cause it evens up in the long run. Tod's better-natured than I am, but I'm prettier." "Why, how can you be?" cried Dotty; "you're exactly alike." "Oh, I can see it! I'm much better-looking."
As the preacher finished, every man and woman there made a silent resolution to be better-natured and pay their debts and make life a little brighter for somebody. But, alas! resolutions are easily broken. "The candidates for baptism will please come forward," said the parson. Up they rose, old and young; Tim Dennis, the cobbler; aged Grandpa Lewis; a score of both sexes.
For, the people who were shovelling away on the house-tops were jovial and full of glee; calling out to one another from the parapets, and now and then exchanging a facetious snowball better-natured missile far than many a wordy jest laughing heartily if it went right and not less heartily if it went wrong.

A company of young men in masks with a piano in their boat, which one played while another led the singing in an amazing falsetto, were peculiarly successful in collecting their reward, and were all the more amusingly eager because they were, as our English friends believed, undergraduates on a lark. They were no better-natured than the rest of the constantly increasing multitude.
The sleeping accommodation also is, as a rule, amicably divided between quadruped and biped, and, taken all round, it cannot be said that either is any the worse for their brotherly relations. I firmly believe that the Mapus are infinitely better-natured towards their animals than towards their wives or their children, who, as you will find by-and-by, are often cruelly ill-treated.
Then he made a crooked face about his bed, while I laughed at him for his whims, his fancies, and his dogged pedantries. However, morning found him better-natured, and taking advantage of the opportunity, we held a consultation upon what was best to be done.
When I told Mis' Holly, she said she was glad it happened, 'cause what Mis' Somers needed was somethin' ter git her out of herself an' I'm free ter say she did look better-natured, an' no mistake, kind o' like a chokecherry in blossom, ye might say." "An' then there's the Widder Glaspell," continued Perry, after a pause.
