Donovan caressed his beer-glass and reflected. The two were seated in the office of Swan's Hotel. "Well, I took them bricks out an' it seems that loony ol' Frenchman our grandpas use to blow about had hid a box in th' chimbley." "A box in the chimbley. An' what was in the box?" Mr. Donovan considered again. "I'll tell you the truth, Cap'n. It wus a lot of rigermarole about a treasure.
"It does seem too bad to have two grandpas living right side by side, and not speaking." "I ain't got no ill-will in my heart for Dick," replied Grandpa Davis, "but he is too everlastin' hard-headed to knock under, and I'll be blamed if I go more'n halfway toward makin' up." "That's just exactly what Grandpa Dun says about you," Walter assured him very earnestly.
The toy-shops were filled with grandpas and grandmas, and aunts and uncles and cousins. As to the shopkeepers, what with telling prices, answering forty questions in a minute, and doing up parcels, they were as crazy as a bachelor tending a crying baby. Uncle Jolly slipped along over the icy pavements, and finally halted in front of Tim Nonesuch's toy shop. You should have seen his show windows!

Even in that place of drays and at eight o'clock A.M. these words fell not disagreeably upon irritated ears. "I think myself Nature did not intend me to be a grandpa," he replied.
Children and adults, even gray-haired grandpas and grandmas, love these tiny morsels of animation, with their quick, active, nervous movements, their simulations of fear and their sudden bursts of half-timorous confidence.
The dear old grandpas in their embroidered coats, didn't cast no shadow as they crossed the sunshine that came in through the old-fashioned window panes.
Now there was " "Oh, indeed! Really, I must go. Good-morning, Miss Newt. Good-morning, Sir." And Mr. Zephyr Wetherley departed. The brother and sister laughed. "Sensible fellow," said Abel; "he flies the grandpas." "How did you come here, you wretch!" asked Fanny, "listening to my secrets?" "My dear, I arrived this morning, only half an hour ago.
You'll meet a lot of first-class idiots in this world, who regard business as low and common, because their low and common old grandpas made money enough so they don't have to work.
