"Oh, if I were a kiddy, I shouldn't mind it," said Cousin Jack, teasingly, to Marjorie. "There are lots of things you can play. But us poor grown-ups have no fun to look forward to but motoring, and now we can't do that." "Oh, if I were a grown-up, I shouldn't mind it," said Midget, laughing back at him. "Grown-ups can do anything they like, but kiddies have to do as they're told."
Having no children of her own, she still could silence and shame many a good mother with references to Cousin Ethel Langstroth's "kiddies", or to Aunt Grace Thurston's wonderful governess. Personally, Mrs. White vaguely felt that there was something innately indecent about children anyway, the smaller they were the less mentionable she found them.

"An' when does your momma say it?" Sunny persisted. "When poppa's done the chores." "Ah!" He felt himself on the wrong tack, and cast about for a fresh line of argument. "Guess you kiddies like bed some," he hazarded doubtfully.

Say, there was somethin' doing nearly every minute till the police broke up the game and took the players to the Number 4 Station. "What's that did I take the kiddies? Not for a minute I didn't.
