This Relation given by the affrighted Gentlewoman was only laughed at and ridiculed as the Effect of Spleen-Vapours, or the Frenzy of a deluded Imagination, and was thought no more of, till one Night, when the Earl of Kilmarnock, sitting round a Bowl by the Winter Fire with my Lord Galloway, and it is at such a Time that men are most prone to fall-to telling of Ghost Stories, and their Lordships' conversation turning on Spectres and Apparitions, the vulgar notions of which they were deriding, the terrible tale of the Bloody Head was brought up, and then dismissed as the idle fancy of a Hoity-toity Tirewoman.
Money earned in this establishment from this moment would burn my fingers." "Hoity-toity! Don't get big feelings too suddenly, my pretty dear," he cried, with a load, hilarious laugh. "Lord! what simpletons some girls are! You're standing in your own light, pretty one! Can't you see that?"
After his charm was spoken over a spaniel sneaking with his tail between his legs, you would see, in his stead, a white man doing the very same mean act of cowardice, with his back upon his enemy. A hoity-toity little she-puppy would become in a twinkling a very pretty girl; and an ugly old snarling she-wolf, a crabbed and sour old squaw.
"Watchman!" ses the skipper, in a hoity-toity sort o' voice, "me and the mate is going as far as Aldgate for a breath o' fresh air. Open the gate." I gave him a look that might ha' melted a 'art of stone, and all it done to 'im was to make 'im laugh. "Hurry up," he ses. "It a'most seems to me that there's somebody ringing the bell, and you can let them in same time as you let us out.
Elsie moved toward the bell rope, but anticipating her intention, he stepped before it, saying with a jeering laugh, "No, you don't!" "Arthur," she said, drawing herself up, and speaking with great firmness and dignity, "leave this room; I wish to be alone." "Hoity-toity, Miss Dinsmore! do you suppose I'm to be ordered about by you? No, indeed! And I've an old score to pay off.
We, at least Ruth and I, do not want to be put in a cage and fed, like canary birds. We want to do things, too; and we could do things, too, if folks would only let us." "Hoity-toity!" laughed Thure.
'Hoity-toity! exclaimed Mrs Pipchin, shaking out her black bombazeen skirts, and plucking up all the ogress within her. Mr Dombey waited until Mrs Pipchin had done bridling and shaking her head, and frowning down a legion of Bitherstones and Pankeys; and then said quietly, but correctively, 'He, my good madam, he.
Somehow this woman, whom he had expected to find an ignorant fisher-wench, hoity-toity and brazen or tearful and sullen, was making him painfully conscious of his own boorishness.
The gentleman came forward, and conscious that her face was growing scarlet, Olive bowed slightly, and murmured something wherein no words were audible, but his name, and grew furiously angry with herself, because she had become confused at the sight of a gentleman, where she had expected to see only a youth. "Hoity-toity!" cried Mr. Congreve.
'A gentleman's toast! A southern toast! Here is confusion to the Cardinal, and a health to all who hate him! 'MON DIEU! one of the strangers cried, springing from his seat in a rage. 'I am not going to stomach that! Is your house a common treason-hole, he continued, turning furiously on the landlord, 'that you suffer this? 'Hoity-toity! I answered, coolly keeping my seat. 'What is all this?
