"He said you were just sitting and and chinning." "When we had finished working." "Have you been here long?" The young man looked her steadily in the face, and said gravely: "Ever since Blizzard came." Barbara lifted her chin a little. "I am quite able to take care of myself," she said. He shook his head sadly.
He was always running, leaping, jumping, climbing, turning cartwheels and somersaults, vaulting fences and “chinning” himself unexpectedly whenever he came to a doorway. “Oh, Masther Billy, ’tis the choild that you are!” Granny would say, twinkling. “Yes, ma’am,” Billy would answer.
"I'd like to see Sinclair," she said. Kern's amiability increased. "The best thing I know about you, Jig, is that you ain't turning Sinclair down, now that he's in trouble. Go right back in the jail. Him and Arizona is chinning. Wait a minute. I guess I got to keep an eye on you to see you don't pass nothing through the bars. Keep clean back from them bars, Jig, and then you can talk all you want.
Barbara, opening the door into the next room, surprised a sound of voices. They ceased instantly. "Bubbles," she called. He came, looking a trifle guilty. "Who's that with you?" "Harry," he said simply. "The man who was here before?" "Yes, Miss Barbara." "What's he doing in my rooms?" "He was just sitting, and chinning," said Bubbles. Miss Ferris was displeased.
But, honestly, Grandma, Barney has brought in five new customers and last week he kept chinning and holding on to a sixth man that come in here until I came in and made the deal.

Chinning, a prophet in our country, a pamphleteer in his own; Bancroft, the historian of America, a man of superior talents and great agreeability, but a black sheep in society, on account of his Van Buren politics, against whom the white sheep of the Whig party will not rub themselves; Prescott, the author of Ferdinand and Isabella, a handsome, half blind shunner of the vanities of the world, with some others, who read and write a good deal, and no one the wiser for it.
And how's the little girl to-night?" said Henry Selz. Floss dimpled, blushed, smiled, swayed. "Did I keep you waiting a terribly long time?" "No, not a bit. Rose and I were chinning over old times, weren't we, Rose?" A kindly, clumsy thought struck him. "Say, look here, Rose. We're going to a show. Why don't you run and put on your hat and come along. H'm? Come on!"
He then respires from the diaphragm, and like a troupe of trained angleworms that entire mass of spaghetti uncoils itself, gets up off the plate and disappears inside him en masse, as it were and making him look like a man who is chinning himself over a set of bead portieres. I fear we in America will never learn to siphon our spaghetti into us thus.
The managers persist. "No use o' your chinning us! Go on, now!" The heroes escape from their persecutors. The mind of Corkey reverts to the parlors of Esther Lockwin. "Great Caesar!" he exclaims. "Yessah!" "Steer me to a bar!" A few moments later Corkey leans sidewise against a whisky counter, his left foot on the iron rail, his hand on the glass.
"Don't fash yourself, old man. At least you've been tailored in London, and that's something. You'll do in Chicago." "I'll do O.K. right here," said Blake. "What say? You've spoiled my afternoon.
