A good wholesome ordinary English lad doesn't care a toss about sun or mist, except as they help or hinder his enjoyment of sport!" "Ronald is not an `ordinary English boy'!" "Hoity-toity! Now she's offended!" The Chieftain looked at his companion's flushed cheeks with twinkling eyes, not one whit daunted by her airs of dignified displeasure.

She sprang back, quivering, her face cold-looking and blue; and he regarded her with his mouth quirking. "Huh! Hoity-toity, ain't you? Hoity-toity and white-faced and late, all at once, ain't you?

Assuredly, sir, you will not now insist upon reading it." "Assuredly I shall."

The strange sight of him with his hair cut short or in a new neck-tie affected her in a similar manner. "Clara, go and put your pinafore on this instant!" said Maggie. "You know you oughtn't to leave it off." "You needn't be so hoity-toity, miss," Clara retorted. But she moved to obey. When she reached the door she turned again and gleefully taunted Edwin.
