It is the old proverb, 'Love me, love my dog. But if your dog is petted too much, if we dream in last night's strains of music, forget you a moment in the world you have lifted us into, why, then your back is turned directly; you upbraid us with following you for the sake of the music, we have no personal love of you, you are the violin or the fiddlestick!"
"Fiddlestick!" said 'Beida with a sigh of relief. "Now I know you're gassin'. . . . Just now you frightened me with your talk of executions, which is what they do to a man when he's murdered some person: and o' course if Nicky if Mr Nanjivell had been doin' anything o' that sort which he hasn', o' course. . . . But when you go on pretendin' as Rat-it-all can lock me up, why then I see your game.
"Indeed I do repent," replied Charlotte, "from my soul: but while discretion points out the impropriety of my conduct, inclination urges me on to ruin." "Ruin! fiddlestick!" said Mademoiselle; "am I not going with you? and do I feel any of these qualms?" "You do not renounce a tender father and mother," said Charlotte. "But I hazard my dear reputation," replied Mademoiselle, bridling.

"That's the very question I wish to Heaven I could answer," groaned the squire, quite mildly and pathetically, "What on earth has come to us all? What on earth has come to us all?" "The Papisher is at the bottom of it, sir," said Stirn, provoked out of all temper. "I does my duty, but I is but a mortal man, arter all." "A mortal fiddlestick! Where's Leonard Fairfield, I say?"
"I have no objection to bold strokes, but I don't see any; and Uncle Sam's bold stroke of the Fleet prison is not at all to my taste." "Fleet prison! Fleet fiddlestick! No. You have never been in Russia. Why should we not go there both? My Paris friend, Madame Caumartin, was going to Italy, but her plans are changed, and she is now all for St. Petersburg.
"A fiddlestick!" said Preston impatiently. "He knows he must bear whatever I choose to give him; and therein he is wiser than you are." "Because he is a Christian," said I. "I don't know whether he is a Christian or not; and it is nothing to the purpose. I don't care what he is."

It had been in a woodshed of his grandfather's house, when he was a boy, and he was not as confident about that as he was about the mirror and vases, which had always maintained their parlor estate. "Sylvia don't think much of it," he said. "She's crazy to have one of carved oak like one Mrs. Jim Jones has." "Carved oak fiddlestick!" said Sidney Meeks.
Blake was, and how well she knew her place, after you had chatted over half your parish with me. I know you are the curiousest man in it, and as you and me is old friends, I don't mind owning up just to please you. It'll save a lot of time and a lot of money. 'It's my duty to warn you, said John, 'that anything you say may be used against you. 'Used against a fiddlestick end! said Mrs. Blake.
"A fiddlestick, sir an accursed fiddlestick!" snorted Sir Richard. "How is a boy, an unsophisticated, hot-headed young fool of a boy to earn his own living?" "Others have done it," I began. "Pish!" said the baronet. "And been the better for it in the end." "Tush!" said the baronet. "And I have a great desire to see the world from the viewpoint of the multitude."
