"She's a wonder, just the same especially when you consider the life she's led. You know her history a morphine fiend with the face of an angel. She knocked about for years before Stanton fell into her clutches. He's dippy about her pays for that apartment and gives her a handsome allowance, bought her an automobile, pays her chauffeur, and all the rest of it.
"Neither did I," interjected Stacy crowding in between Tad and the Ranger. "I want to bag a 'possum." "Better look sharp or the 'possum will bag you," warned Pete Quash. "I guess I'm not afraid of any 'possum that ever climbed a tree. Haven't I killed lions and bob cats and fought Indians, and " "Stop it!" roared Dippy. "I'll be worse'n my name if you keep filling me up with that line of talk."
"I apologize," said Joe. "That is, I apologize to the ham sandwich." Bob laid a restraining hand on his friend's arm. "Easy, Joe," he counseled. "Listen, Buck," he went on. "Did you ever hear of Marconi?" "Sure, I did," replied Buck. "He's the fellow that had the fight with Julius Caesar. The one that Cleopatra was dippy about." "No," said Bob patiently.

One minute he'd be talkin' good common sense like anybody: an' the next he'd be chatterin' of coats made o' ice, an' birds an' squirrels an' babbling brooks. He sure is dippy! Listen. He actually don't seem ter know the diff'rence between himself an' his fiddle.
They ain't nothin' they won't tackle. An' she's 'most as bad. Not afraid some herself. She'll do anything Rocky'll let her. But he's almighty careful with her. Treats her like a queen. No camp-work or such for her. That's why another man an' me are hired on good wages. They've got slathers of money an' they're sure dippy on each other.
"Oh, sit down," coaxed Feuerstein, taking him by the arm. "It's early yet." Dippel shook him off with much dignity. "Don' touch me!" he growled. "I know what I'm 'bout. I'm goin' home." Then to himself, but aloud: "Dippy, you're too full f'r utterance you mus' shake this beat." Again to Feuerstein: "G'night, Mr. Funkelshine g'night. Sit there till I'm gone."
When they returned to the porch it was to hear an outcry from Jeannette's mother: "Chester Crofton! Have you gone absolutely crazy?" "I think so, mother. Positively dippy. Got it in its worst form. It's been coming on me for some time, but it's taken me now, for better or for worse. I'm going to buy that small farm across the road and try what I can do." "I'll back you," came in Mr.
Frosty straightened up and looked at me queerly; he said afterward that he couldn't make out whether I was trying to pull off a gun fight, or had gone dippy. But I was only in the last throes of exuberance at being in the country at all, and I didn't give a damn what King thought; I'd made up my mind to be sociable, and that settled it.
She sat gravely watching the cat and kitten lap up the last drop of milk and carefully clean the sides of the pan in a manner quite inelegant for humans, but no doubt entirely a matter of etiquette in cat society, and then when Tippy, having done her duty by the pan, turned her attention to making Dippy tidy, Marian walked slowly away.
Hunt," Marian shook her head "it isn't Tippy; she is all right, and so is Dippy, but you know if you want a thing very much and don't see anyway of getting it ever, till you are grown up and won't care about it, why it makes you feel as if as if" she lowered her voice to a whisper and looked intently at her listener, "as if either you were very wicked or as if that about the mustard seed as if" she hesitated, then blurted out hurriedly, "as if it weren't true."
