"Hoity toity!" exclaimed Mr. King, "it's not quite the thing, Polly, my child, to express yourself so decidedly, considering your years." "Grandpapa," cried Polly, with a sudden rush of tears, "forgive me, do; I did not mean to be so naughty. I did not, dear Grandpapa." She looked like Phronsie now, and the old gentleman's heart melted.
"Hoity! Toity! Pretty talk we're having, and Saint Nicholas's Eve almost here! What wonder the yarn pricks my fingers! "Let me stay home with you, Mother," said Gretel, looking up with eyes that sparkled through their tears. "Hans will buy me the cake." "As you will, child, and Hans wait a moment. We'll keep the Feast of Saint Nicholas after all." Gretel clapped her hands. "That will be fine!
'Hoity toity, Miss! said the widow, bridling, 'young people are very uppish nowadays. They never seem to remember there is such a thing as the fifth commandment. In my young days what a father said was law, and no questions asked; and I've seen many a Lancashire man take a stick to his gell for less provocation than this gell's given her feyther!
"I shall never be anything but a publisher, father," he said quietly. "Hoity, toity! well, that is for me to decide, I take it," responded his father. "You've never disobeyed me yet, Jasper, and I don't believe you ever will. And if I think it's best for you to change your business, of course you'll do it."

He resisted, however, and said he was not sleepy and would not go. Mrs Maclean now came to his mamma's assistance. She had no notion of a little boy behaving as Norman was doing. "Hoity, toity, young gentleman, I cannot have you treat your mamma in this way in my house, so come along this instant, and do not let me hear another word from you."
"He can't touch anything, I tell you; everything's tied up." "Ah well, he'll get tied up, too. He'll marry an American heiress." "Confound him! I'd rather see the house extinct first." "Hoity, toity! She'll be quite as good as any of you." "I can't discuss this with you, Peter," said Lancelot, gently but firmly. "If there is a word I hate more than the word heiress, it is the word American."
Then she caught sight of a piece of paper peeping from the bosom of the girl's dress. The next instant she had gently drawn it out and was reading it. The paper was Dorrimore's letter. "Of course, I knew there was a man at the bottom of the business. And a marriage too. Hoity toity, that's another pair of shoes." She threw back a fold of the cloak, and scrutinised Lavinia's left hand.
But our Jack is not like that, sir; and I will not have him spoken of. Leave him indeed! Who wants you to do more than to leave him alone, sir; as he might have done you the other night; and as no one else would have dared to do. And after that, to think so meanly of me, and of my children!" "Hoity, toity, Sarah! Your children, I suppose, are the same as other people's."
'You have need to, she answered bitterly, yet with a changed countenance, or I was mistaken, 'if your story be true, sir. 'Ay, that you have! the woman beside her echoed. 'Hoity toity, indeed! Here is a fuss about nothing. You call yourself a gentleman, and wear such a doublet as 'Peace, Fanchette, mademoiselle said imperiously.
"Mary, send out and tell Andy to take the horse round to the barn. He's hitched to the fence." Then she came back. "You'll join our party to-night, of course." "Hoity, girl, of course not," said their mother.
