"Oh, Chessy," cried my sister, as soon as Bemis had gone, "it's awful, I know, but isn't it exciting?" "Hush, Winnie," reproved Aunt Lucy.

"That's gold, all right," muttered McTeague, studying the contents of the spoon. "You bet your great-grandma's Cochin-China Chessy cat it's gold," shouted Cribbens. "Here, now, we got a lot to do. We got to stake her out an' put up the location notice. We'll take our full acreage, you bet. You we haven't weighed this yet. Where's the scales?" He weighed the pinch of gold with shaking hands.

"You bear up under the disgrace as well as anybody ever I saw. You know perfectly well you was tickled to death to have her tie that necktie on you. You was grinnin' like a Chessy cat all the time." "I wasn't, neither. I was chokin', not grinnin'. You don't know a grin from a choke." Zoeth changed the subject. "It's a mighty pretty necktie," he declared.
Miss Hart, smiling like a Chessy Cat herself, came forward with a lot of short strips of white paper in her hand. She gave half of these to Mr. Maynard, and then the fun began. They actually measured each child's grin, marking on the paper with a pencil the exact length of each mouth from corner to corner as it was stretched in a smile.

He sat staring above it at the iron visage of the first selectman, who finally grew restive under this espionage. "Say, look-a-here, Pote Tate," he growled, levelling flaming eyes across the table, "if you think you're goin' to set there lookin' at me like a Chessy cat watchin' a rat-hole, you and me is goin' to have trouble, and have it sudden and have it vi'lent!"
