The agent told him the amount considerably more than ten dollars. "'Mon Dieu! Is it so far as that? said the old man. 'Eh bien! "But he was a chipper old fellow. I had noticed him that morning offering to run a foot race with the boys.
I had visions of two excited females lambasting me with umbrellas and demanding their property back. Completely at a loss I sank into a chair, feeling as bright and chipper as a poached egg. I felt that I belonged just about as much as a knothole does in a barb-wire fence. In that few minutes Bunch was more than revenged. I was on the pickle boat for sure. Sailing! sailing! over the griddle, me!
I don't see how you can be so chipper, for I'm dead sure we're going to have loads of trouble before we get out of this." "No great thing was ever done without having more or less trouble at the outset," replied Jack. "As soon as we get started we shall find it easier. Hi, there, Pedro!" addressing one of the Peruvian drivers, "you have those oxen yoked wrong.

She is tired of all this, tired of the balls, and the dancing, and the diamonds, and the beaux; and she likes true people, and would like to live very quiet with somebody that she loved.

For she comes back, chipper an' merry an' glad to see her friends an' thin, all of a suddint, up an' off agin." I knew that was Vicky Van's habit.

He picked up my old chalk pipe from the floor, gave the stem a wipe or two on his knee, filled the bowl from the tobacco-box at his side, and said to me in a tone of pert command: "Gimme a match!"
"Stop interrupting when I'm talking, I'm going to take up all your obligations, and you're going to pay me three million dollars for doing it. When the whole thing's cleaned up that will probably leave me a few hundred thousand in the hole, but I'm going to do the generous thing by you." Percy wasn't so chipper now.
He wuz awfully scared, though, & begged me 2 let him go the rest ov the way on foot. He said he wuz a thousand years older than when he left his ole massa, & I could understand what he meant. I found your mother & the girls bright & chipper & jest tickled 2 death to see me safe back. They axed me so many questions about you & Shorty that my head buzzed like a bee-hive.
