Swearing is only a lazy man's substitute for thinking, anyway; and Bost wasn't lazy. He preferred the descriptive; he sat up nights thinking it out. We began to see the results before Bost had been tracing our pedigrees for two weeks. First game of the season was with that little old dinky Normal School which had been scaring us so for the past five years.
The clothes especially seemed ridiculously out of place for even a visitor on a ranch, and he had always detested those dinky half-shaved mustaches. Meanwhile the trunks had been carried in and the team led away, and Pedro was peevishly complaining from the kitchen door that dinner was getting cold.
Instead, while Alec gave Billy a dig in the ribs, the captain put the same question to Kelsey. "Oh, you know they've started another one of those dinky revolutions in Panama, two generals fighting for the presidency," explained Kelsey.
But with von Herzmann, their idol and their pride, forced from the fight by a hated Englander flying a dinky little Camel well, the Fatherland could be served some other day. But von Herzmann had been right in his boast that he would scatter the Americans like quails.
"I'll never forget poor Bowles, the first time I saw him in his dinky red jacket and that Hooligan cap of his," reflected Chase, as if he had not heard Deppingham's remark.

The dinky whipped around curves and across viaducts, the grade rising steadily until just as Jim had made up his mind that his moments were numbered, they reached the first steep grade into the mountain. From this point the ride was a slow and steady climb up a pine-covered mountain. Just before sunset the engine stopped at a freight shed. "Go on up the trail," said the fireman.
For there are times when my Dinky-Dunk, for all his bigness and strength, has to be taken sedately in tow, the same as a racing automobile has to be hauled through the city streets by a dinky little low-power hack-car! Saturday the Tenth We've had a cold spell, with heavy frosts at night, but the days are still glorious.
