Some of them were the sort of thing you can get over, but some of them upon my word, I wonder at myself how I've got over them as I have. The queer thing is I haven't, in a way. It will come over me sometimes, in the queerest places, at the oddest moments, that I am still that woman to whom such awful things happened, that I, playing my silly monkey-shines, am that heart-broken woman."
Tom's broad face became hard, his voice businesslike. He shouted at Mrs. Zapp: "Beat it or I'll run you in. Trouble with you is, you old hag, you don't appreciate a nice quiet little chap like Wrenn, and you try to bully him and him here for years. Get out or I'll put you out. I'm no lamb, and I won't stand for any of your monkey-shines. Get out.

Carol turned on the company. "See here, I want this nonsense to stop. We've simply got to get down to work." Juanita Haydock led the mutiny: "Look here, Carol, don't be so bossy. After all, we're doing this play principally for the fun of it, and if we have fun out of a lot of monkey-shines, why then " "Ye-es," feebly. "You said one time that folks in G. P. didn't get enough fun out of life.
"We are off!" shouted Pepper, gaily. "Farewell to Cedarville and ho! for Putnam Hall!" "Wish I had room, I'd turn a handspring for you," came from Andy, who was quite an acrobat. "Now don't you cut up any monkey-shines," pleaded the driver of the carryall. "That new hoss won't stand for 'em." "All right, Peleg, I'll keep as quiet as a lamb without a tail."
To you I shall consider that I owe my life, and also, I hope, reelection to the office for which I am again a candidate. Allow me to hand you my card." The cow-punchers, always so sober-faced while engaged in their monkey-shines, relaxed into a grin of approval. But Phonograph Davis, his appetite for fun not yet appeased, had something more up his sleeve.
He'll take a piece out of some of you one of these days." "Some bottled soda, Colonel," said the youngest boy, in a tone that would seem to indicate that the colonel was their best friend.
