I spent three days huntin' 'em in the snow, but they went off on our remounts about twenty mile that night." "Do you always do this sham-fight business?" I asked. "Once inside an Area you must look after yourself; but I tell you that a fight which means that every man-Jack of us may lose a week's pay isn't so damn-sham after all. It keeps the men nippy.
And I realized when Dinky-Dunk and I drove over to it in the buckboard, on a rather nippy morning when it was a joy to go spanking along the prairie trail with the cold air etching rosettes on your cheek-bones, that it was a foeman well worthy of my steel. At a first inspection, indeed, it didn't look any too promising.
"You don't say!" he murmured. "Well, I'll tell you what it is, Paul, there are no flies on that chap! He's a real nippy little worker that's what he is! If you take my advice," he went on persuasively, "you'll swap. We'll make it worth his while to come over. I've seen your Mr. Ansell if that's his name.

Never had she come so near to being a merciless rider as on that nippy morning. There were drifts: Blue went through them in great lunges.
And this is the whole tale of how the Little Playmate came to dwell with us in the Red Tower. Just as clearly do I remember the next morning. The Little Playmate lay by me on my bed, wrapped in one of my childish night-gowns which old Hanne had sought out for her the night before. It was a brisk, chill, nippy daybreak, and I had piled most of the bedclothes upon her.

Seizing a pair of corsets that sprawled loosely on the center table, she rammed them under a not very pristine cushion on the sofa. Martin burst out laughing. The Crystal Room wine was still in his head. "Very nippy!" he said. "Have to be nippy in this life, believe me.
