But her youth would rise with a sudden rush in her warm body, so smartly dressed, so tingling with ardent health, and glancing into the glass in her car and making a little face at herself, she would exclaim: "Oh, fiddlesticks! All this is going to have a nice fine happy ending! Nothing awful is to happen to me!"
"I went for a walk by myself. Sometimes I have moods " "Fiddlesticks! Don't try to make me think you had a longing for self-communion or any foolishness of that sort! I know you, Azalea Thorpe! You went off to meet somebody " "I did not! How you talk, Elise Farrington!" "Yes, you did! Somebody that you don't want Patty and Bill to know about. Oh, you don't fool me! I'm not a blind bat!"
Oh, she's very, very imaginative, poor dear old auntie, and she would have it so. And she thinks that all the speeches which "His Majesty" makes at me are intended for her." "The wretched creature!" said Harry; "to speculate upon her husband's death, and think of such a thing as marriage." "Oh, but she says that it is not love that makes her think of it, but State policy." "State fiddlesticks!"
"Be easy now," he bade her impatiently. "They can't do anything to Ned until they find him guilty; and how are they going to find him guilty when he's innocent?" "Yes; but the appearances!" "Fiddlesticks!" he answered her and the expression chosen was a mere concession to her sex, and not at all what Mr. Butler intended. "Appearances can't establish guilt.
"The 'Dance of the Wild Turkey," explained Diane, much amused at the recollection. "Aunt Agatha insisted that it was some iniquitous and cunningly disguised Seminole species of turkey trot. She was horribly shocked and grew white as a ghost at my daring " "Fiddlesticks!" said Ann Sherrill. "She ought to have all the shock out of her by now after bringing up you and Carl!
Time you had ridden twenty miles through the hot sun with that wound you would have been in a raging fever." "One way and another I'm quite in her debt." "That's so," agreed Yeager, intent on his work. She refused to meet the nester's smile. "Fiddlesticks! You talk mighty foolish, Jim. I wouldn't go away and leave a wounded dog if I could help it." "Suppose the dog were a sheep-killer?"
"So this is the end?" he said in a kind of mutter. "The end of what?" demanded the owner of the watch. "Of all my labors, to me and to what little I have left!" "Fiddlesticks! I am here for no purpose regarding you, my comrade. So far as I am concerned, your secret is as dead as it ever was. I had a fancy that you were living in Paris." "Paris! Gott!
With Willie gone, Maggie and I settled down to the quiet tenure of our days. She informed me, on the morning after that eventful night, that she had not closed an eye after one o'clock! She came into the library and asked me if I could order her some sleeping-powders. "Fiddlesticks!" I said sharply. "You slept all night. I was up and around the house, and you never knew it."
They had become a part of his thoughts. "I might make the riches if I tried hard," he held up his head proudly, "but I could never make the name. I will always be a child of the slums, no matter what I do!" "Child of the fiddlesticks!" interrupted Endicott. "Wherever did you get all that, rot?

Harding how she liked the club house, and if she were enjoying her summer there. "I would enjoy it much better," she said, "if I did not know that I should be home." "I presume you feel that you are neglecting your social duties," I ventured. "Social fiddlesticks," she laughed. "I should be home canning tomatoes and putting up fruit. We won't have a thing in the house fit to eat all next winter."
