Her voice was all of a quaver again, but she did not mean to cry if she could help it. "Did they call you 'country'?" Margaret smiled and kissed the little girl, who tried to smile also. Then she repeated the ill-bred comment. "We are not quite citified," said Margaret cheerfully. "And it isn't pleasant to be laughed at for something you cannot well help.
There was a cut over one eye where he had butted into one of the climbing-steps on the pole, and either that, or the knock on the curbstone, had made him take the count. Since Springville wasn't citified enough to have a hospital or an ambulance, I supposed we would carry the wounded man to the nearest drug store. But my Good Samaritan wasn't built that way.
Knowing that neither of them had halters on, he had brought two with him and now slipped them over his charges' heads, saying as he did so: "You've got to come 'long back with me and keep company manners, do you know that, you disrepu'ble gad-abouts? You ain't never had no proper eddicatin' an' now it's a-goin' to begin for fa'r. You-all are goin' ter be larnt citified manners hot off the bat.
Peaslee, the thermometer of whose spirits had been rising steadily, joined in the laughter which followed the exit of the discomfited Pete. "Terrible smart feller, Paige, ain't he?" said he to Albion Small. "Did him up real slick, didn't he?" The delighted Solomon had quite forgotten his dislike for the citified Paige.

"Not on your life," cheerily answered Ham; "there's nothing citified about us. Any one who could sleep in these hills a night like last night and not freeze is no tenderfoot. What brings you up here so early this morning?" "Early, boys? You're so tarnal lazy, you think dinner time is early. See anything o' my dog round the cabin?" "No, we haven't seen him, except when you went by a while ago."

"It is the Lord's will. We are not allowed our choice of times. Though I must say I have been prospered heretofore, and give thanks for it.
After the district of stately mansions with wonderful carriages driving up and away and women dressed like those in the illustrated story papers, came splendid shops and hotels, finer than Susan had believed there were anywhere in the world.

Pearl looked up in wearied surprise. "It does seem queer," she said indifferently. "'Course I know it ain't just citified," Mrs.
"We don't know her very well, and she dresses so fine and is kind of citified, you know. Ar'n't you afraid she'll spoil the fun?" "No," said Susie, decidedly. "Mamma said we were to be good to her because she's a stranger; and I think she's nice, too not a bit proud, though her father is so rich."
I intend to ask Peggy if 't would be citified and a la mode to keep it on for a little while after entering the box by the plea that the playhouse is cold.
