"Is the last word to be spelt with one or two s's?" asked the young Doctor. The company laughed feebly at this question. I answered it soberly. With one s. There are more foolish people among the Ifs than there are among the Ases. The company looked puzzled, and asked for an explanation.
"Old Katy is just a rough old woman, Miss Mathilda," Anna said, "but I think I keep her here with me. She can work and she don't give me trouble like I had with Molly all the time." Anna always had a humorous sense from this old Katy's twisted peasant english, from the roughness on her tongue of buzzing s's and from the queer ways of her brutish servile humor.
"It always happens so. You get friendly with a man; then he goes away abroad, back to America, Lord knows where. You never see him again." Tommy looked up. There was trouble in her face. "How do you spell 'harassed'?" questioned Tommy! "two r's or one." "One r," Peter informed her, "two s's." "I thought so." The trouble passed from Tommy's face.
'Tis good, I think? the sense well-winged and poised With t's and s's. 2nd Gent. Nay, but turn it round; Give us the test of taste. A fine menu Is it to-day what Roman epicures Insisted that a gentleman must eat To earn the dignity of dining well?

"Of course I will, but I'm awfully disappointed." She had spelled disappointed with two s's and one p.
And there were others, apparently far more unsuitable for nice-minded girls old leather-bound books with quaint wood engravings and thick yellow pages printed with old-fashioned "s's" like "f's."
Standifer accepted the honour with some doubt as to the nature of the office he was to fill and his capacity for filling it but he accepted, and by wire. Before departing, he had looked up under the I's, S's and H's in the "Encyclopædia Britannica" what information and preparation toward his official duties that those weighty volumes afforded.
The writing on the card was not particularly distinctive. There was only one thing of which Grace made mental note. The s's were unfinished and the a's were not closed at the top. This in itself amounted to little, and Grace decided that as far as she was concerned the mystery would have to remain unsolved.
The lagoon emptied on the south into the Momba River, which twisted and turned like so many S's to the sea; on the north was the passage by which we had come, that which led to the sea by way of the bar. But there was to be no crossing of the bar for us that night.
