"O, O! 'Scuse me, Silas! I was only 'lustratin'." "'Lustrate next time on that post behind you. If Stanshy Macomber had such rigor in her arm as that, I pity those down-townies!" Was not Aunt Stanshy indignant when she heard how Simes Badger had taken her off at the store! "I'll try my broom on him next time," she told Juggie's granny.
I thought it was fire," and, saying this, the old lady, with a sigh of relief, withdrew. "And now, teacher, we want a badge; something to wear, you know," exclaimed Sid. "What's that you have on?" Miss Bertha asked of Juggie. "A sword," replied that warrior, displaying his right leg, on which he had already chalked a sword. "That's for the down-townies," said the governor, in a martial tone.

"You did? Was that what you were smiling at? I mean just now." "I guess so. And then I believe we were going to give three cheers." "Well, do you feel like getting up?" "Y-e-s."
The club belonged to the up-townies, "the only fit class for gentlemen," Sid had declared The down-townies delighted to hurl all kinds of epithets at the other boys, and these "gentlemen" up-townies could sling titles almost as successfully, and both sides would sometimes give additional flavor to their epithets by means of missiles, even as mothers sometimes season their injunctions to boys with a twig from the old apple-tree in the yard.
