"And if once across a shilling be an inch, As which is very near, Which had the better fortune, The round one or the square?" "Kin you wuck it?" asked Rogers, anxiously. "Oh, yes, I think so. It doesn't seem a very complicated affair." "Bushrod Hinkson sartinly is the crankiest ole somebody I evah hearn tell on," was Mrs. Rogers' verdict.
She was one of the best nurses and one of the "crankiest" women I ever knew. I believe she was actually glad to see Miles come home hurt, just to show how she could pull him through.
The luggage had been weighed and valued, and an imposing bill of lading, and an official document, had been made out, to prevent our paying duty a third time when we should reach our port. At 10:30 we were on the "Hidalgo," ready for leaving. It is the crankiest steamer on the Ward Line, and dirty in the extreme. The table is incomparably bad.
"I thought you would eat me up a while ago for bringing you a bowl of rich broth" "I suppose I do bore you at times, Jean," he said penitently. "Well, I should say you did," she sighed in mock heroism, "why, you are the crossest, and crankiest and sulkiest patient it was ever a woman's misfortune to nurse. Come now I am going to dose you with this beef tea, just for refusing me awhile ago."

The superintendent and his helpers were in the distant "upper field," working around the roots of some young fruit trees. But for the maids, busy indoors, the Place was deserted of human or canine life. Thus, luck was with the two intruders. Through the fence-gap in the oak-grove, bored Titus Romaine's hugest and oldest and crankiest sow.
Despite the young man's protests, Dr. Ambrose was called and he rattled over in what the jolly medical man termed his "one-horse shay." That rattletrap of a second-hand car was known in every town and hamlet for miles around. Sometimes he got stalled, for the engine of the car was one of the crankiest ever built, and the good physician had to get out and proceed on foot.
