He continued to grin with a sardonic humour, with a cynical mockery and defiance. He was master of the situation. Wolf Larsen ceased swearing as suddenly as he had begun. He relighted his cigar and glanced around. His eyes chanced upon the cook. "Well, Cooky?" he began, with a suaveness that was cold and of the temper of steel.
She would sit at the window in her grandmother's sitting-room, eating peacefully the slice of pound-cake or cooky with which she was always regaled, and listen to the scolding voices across the yard as she might have listened to any outside disturbance.
"Won't you " She looked about for a chair, but he dropped on the grass at her feet. "You've changed since we met last," he remarked, biting into his cooky. She looked at his bronzed face and thick silvered hair and nodded thoughtfully. "I was six years old then," she said; "and you were one of the 'big boys' you were fourteen." "That's a long while," he suggested laughingly.
"Give me your hand, Cooky, give me your hand," cried Roger, stretching out his arm; and then I saw that Potto Jumbo was working along the hawser, with Mr Hooker secured by a rope to his back. The dawn was just breaking. The cry of some sea-fowl as they passed sounded ominously in our ears.
"Well, Missus," replied Aun' Sheba, with the graven-image expression that she often assumed before Mrs. Hunter, "I'se know'd of homes dat hab become wuss dan bake-shops. Neber in my bawn days hab I heerd on an active, prosp'rous baker starbin'. Jes' you try dis cooky right fum de stove an' see ef it doan melt in you'se mouf." And so Aun' Sheba stopped Mrs.

In this way they progressed from tree to tree, but each was as big as the last and it was impossible for such little people as they to climb down. "We might eat a bite of cooky and grow big," said Hortense.
But there's a bottle half full of raspberry cordial that was left over from the church social the other night. It's on the second shelf of the sitting-room closet and you and Diana can have it if you like, and a cooky to eat with it along in the afternoon, for I daresay Matthew'll be late coming in to tea since he's hauling potatoes to the vessel."
Cooky replied, in tones so like Daughtry's as to startle him. "You son of a gun," Daughtry repeated, cuddling his cheek and ear against the cockatoo's feathered and crested head. "And some folks thinks it's only folks that count in this world." Still the whale delayed, and, with the ocean washing their toes on the level deck, Daughtry ordered the boat lowered away.
And he departed, a cooky in each hand. That night one of the Gatchell boys took Alicia to a dance. She was in blue and white, like an angel, and the Gatchell boy trod on air. But to me came Doctor Richard Geddes, and threw himself into a wing-chair. "Sophronisba Two," he asked, we being alone in the library, "what have I done to offend Alicia?" "Is Alicia offended?"
"When are those men coming back to finish up?" suddenly demanded Leslie, poising a glass of milk and a cooky in one hand and taking a great bite from her apple. "Not till to-morrow," said Julia Cloud, looking around the empty kitchen speculatively, and wondering how in the world she was going to cook with all the cooking-utensils packed in the attic.
