Perhaps you will allow me to look at the "Times;" and I'll trouble you for the sardines.
"Hoity-toity, why not?" "Keep at heyame after nightfall, and don't ye be walking by yersel' by daylight or any light lang lonesome ways, till after ye're baptised," said Mall Carke. "I'm like to be married first." "Tak care that marriage won't hang i' the bell-ropes," said Mother Carke. "Leave me alane for that. The young lord said he was maist daft wi' luv o' me.

"Hoity-toity!" cried the hemp-beater, after he had cautiously put out an arm to feel the bird; "that's not a quail or a partridge, a hare or a rabbit; it looks like a goose or a turkey. Upon my word, you are noble hunters! and that game did not make you ride very fast. Go elsewhere, my knaves! all your falsehoods are detected, and you may as well go home and cook your supper.

Helen clung to Ruth's hand and tried to draw her away from the rough man.

'Ho-ho-ho Miss Hoity-toity! said Lord Mountclere, trotting up and down.
"I wish you wouldn't remark on my appearance," said Sibyl. "Dear, dear! Hoity-toity! How grand we are getting all of a sudden!" "You needn't snub me in the way you do, Sarah. You'll be treating me very differently before long." "Indeed, your Royal Highness! And may I ask how and why?" "You may neither ask how nor why; but events will prove," said Sibyl.
