And light as a thistledown, the girl floated downstairs and danced into the kitchen just as Farmer Hartley entered it from the other side. "Highty-tighty!" cried the good man, "what's all this? Is there a fire? Everything's all ablaze! Why, Hildy! bless my soul!" He stood in silent delight, looking at the lovely figure before him, with its face of rosy joy and its happy, laughing eyes.
"Doug, you keep out of this, or I'll forget you are my son. You're smart and you've got a bossy way with you. But I'm still master here. There never was a Spencer that didn't rule his own family. Now, understand me. Keep out of this matter between me and Jude. I'm going to break that highty-tighty filly; and by God, she knows it!"
"Go back, if you know what's good for you." "Whash that? Who your dog last year? Shay! You can't come no highty-tighty over me. Who your new friend? Shay!" He reeled and gripped the seat, flooding me with his vile breath. "By Gawd, I got the dead-wood on you, you !" and he had loosed such a torrent of low epithets that they are inconceivable.
"If you turn a man out of his home when he is eighty years old, I think that is 'out of the way. And Mr. Mostyn is not to be trusted. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could see him." "Highty-tighty! He has not asked you to trust him. You lost your chance there, miss." "Grandmother, I am astonished at you!"

"Highty-tighty!" broke in Michael, in an undertone, meant only for the maiden's ear. "Tip-top airs don't pass for much in these 'ere parts. Do you know that, Miss Lizzy Glenn, or whatever your name may be? We're all on the same level here.
Is there no loyalty left in the land?" "Naow look here, Meredith," Mr. Hennion argued. "Theer ain't no occasion fer such consarned highty-tighty airs. Yer can't keep boys from bein' high-sperited. What 's more " "High-spirited!" snapped the squire. "Is that the name ye give rebellion, Justice Hennion?" "Thet 'ere is jest what I wuz a-comin' ter, Meredith," went on his fellow-justice.
Dare any soul on earth breathe a word against the sweetest, the purest, the tenderest, the most angelical of young women?" "La, William, don't be so highty-tighty with US. We're not men. We can't fight you," Miss Jane said.
"Now, who is this little girl, I wonder?" said a high-pitched, cheery voice. "It is not your little girl; and I am in a hurry, please," said Diana, who could be very rude when she liked. She did not wish to be interrupted now; she wanted to find Iris to tell her of the sad fate of Rub-a-Dub. "Highty-tighty!" exclaimed the little lady, "that is no way to speak to grown-up people.
"Why don't you come here and help Susan, John?" cried Mary. "Aw-yaw-aw!" was all the reply of John, who had had quite enough of helping Susan, and who continued to hold his head, as it were, in his hand. "What's the matter here, missus?" exclaimed the farmer, coming in. "Highty-tighty, what ails Susan, and what ails you?" continued the farmer, turning to John.
He had expected that the lawyer would deny the charge, and was prepared for what he would say and do in such a case; but now he was not prepared. "How on earth could you bring yourself to be guilty of such villainy?" said young Orme. "Highty-tighty! What are you talking about, young man? The fact is, you do not know what you are talking about.
