"It didn't do any hurt," began Muriel. "We thought " "Don't be such a prig, Jerry," put in Mignon, impatiently. "It isn't half so wicked to play a joke on those stupid sophomores as it is to ask one's mother for money for a fountain pen, and then use the money for candy and ice cream."

He starts looking around for Ted.
"I should worry!" shrugged the amiable Clive comically with a motion of his handsome shoulders that sent two susceptible young things near him into a series of poorly suppressed giggles. Clive looked up and gravely winked at them, and the two bent down their heads in sudden hopeless mirth. Clive was delighted. He was having a grand time.

I dare say. I'm afraid politics don't interest me very much," said Lady Drakmanton. The three Miss Smithly-Dubbs put down their cups of Turkish coffee and stared. Then they broke into protesting giggles. "Of course, you're joking," they said. "Not me," was the disconcerting answer; "I can't make head or tail of these bothering old politics.
