Quentin leaned against the big post at the foot of the steps, his face the picture of gloomy defiance. "I am not her physician, sir." "Hoity-toity! She is quite well, then, I may reasonably infer. Can you tell me whether she is in Brussels?"
To his satisfaction she had, on a few recent occasions when he had seen her, unbent sufficiently to talk to him in a friendly and even intimate way, for she was by no means hoity-toity, but a thinking, reasoning being of the profoundest intellectual, or, rather, the highest artistic tendencies.
"Hoity-toity," said the waiter, and he left off throwing the sand. "Well, what's the matter now?" said one of the guests. "I wish to see the master of the house on business of urgency," said Sybil, "to himself and to one of his friends, and his servant here will not even reply to my inquiries." "I say, Saul, why don't you answer the young lady?" said another guest. "So I did," said Saul.
Dunborough was understood to curse everybody; after which he fell into the chair that stood next the door, and, sticking his hands into his breeches-pockets, glared at my lady, his face flushed and sombre.

"I just felt it in my bones like Aunt Alvirah that that creature would annoy us again." "Then you are not disappointed," said Helen drily. "Is that the fellow that big gawk in the blue suit?" "No, no! I don't know him," said Ruth.
Turkey Proudfoot ordered her. Henrietta Hen said flatly that she wouldn't. "There are no bugs no worms in the gravel," she told him. "My chicks have a right to go anywhere on this farm."

"No, I'm not!" she snapped.

"Hoity-toity," said the astonished mother; and it will easily be believed that no one had ever said hoity-toity to Priscilla before. She turned scarlet under her veil.
Don't you see?" and she stamped her foot impatiently. "Hoity-toity, young lady!" chuckled Massey. They were all inside now and the druggist locked the door again.
