We learned from her how priceless is the gift of good nature, which was the chief thing that kept her with us; also, to eat a number of dishes quite new to us, and that an apple-tree or perhaps it was an apple, baked or in dumpling was, in her speech, an "ominy poo."
"Ah'll tell you what let's do, Miss Leighton: you make some pictures, and Ah'll wrahte a book fo' them. Ah've got to do something. Ali maght as well wrahte a book. You know we Southerners have all had to go to woak. But Ah don't mand it. I tell papa I shouldn't ca' fo' the disgrace of bein' poo' if it wasn't fo' the inconvenience."
"The uniform of the Prussians," said one. "Of the Russians," said another. "Poo," said a third, "it is a picket of the Prince's;" and so it was, but the very fact of his having advanced his outposts so far, showed how he trembled for his position.
"Poo! poo!" said Captain Pharo, turning the whole flower indifferently to his questioner, and drawing a match with a slight, genteel uplifting of the leg; "I smoke, as the 'postle says, on all 'ccasions t' all men, in season an' outer season, an' 'specially when I'm a darn min' ter."

"Buon Giorno." "Geordie, come and have ickle talk," she said. "Me want 'oo wise man to advise ickle Lucia." "What 'oo want?" asked Georgie, now quite quelled for the moment. "Lots-things. Here's pwetty flower for button-holie. Now tell me about black man. Him no snakes have? Why Mrs Quantock say she thinks he no come to poo' Lucia's party-garden?"
"Why, Tom," quoth Aaron, "it is only three in the afternoon, as you say, although by the sky I could almost vouch for its being midnight, but I don't like that shouting Did you ever read of a water kelpie, Don Richy?" "Poo, poo, nonsense," said the Don; "Mr Cringle is, I fear, right enough."

"I have worked sometimes, Sundays poo! poo! hohum! but not 'less 'twas somethin' 'mportant, gettin' in hay or somethin' like that. And I have poo! poo! hohum!

"If it had been soda water, and the wire not all the stronger, I might have had a chance in this climate but we are somewhat caught here, my dear we have no arms." "Poo," said I, "never mind no danger at hand, take my word for it." "May be not, may be not but, Pegtop, you scoundrel, why did you not fetch my pistols?"
