"He is a very original character," said Miss Burgess, discriminatingly. Madeleine dismissed the subject with a compendious, "He's the most killingly, screamingly funny little man that ever lived!"
'With that long nose and the gaunt figure I should have thought you could make something screamingly funny. 'How oddly you talk of him! Somehow I can only see his beautiful, kind eyes and his tender mouth. I would as soon do a caricature of him as write a parody on a poem I loved. Margaret took the portfolio in which Susie kept her sketches.
"Make a speech, Katherine," somebody called, and Katherine obligingly climbed up on a chair and made such a screamingly funny oration on "What Is Home without a Camera?" that over half the company choked and there were not enough unchoked ones left to pat them all on the back. "Katherine," said Mr. Evans feelingly, "if you don't turn out to be a second Cicero I'm no prophet.
"It's fascinating," Mollie remarked once, spearing desperately at an elusive potato as the train jerked and jolted over the rails at sixty miles an hour, "to see how often you can raise your coffee cup without spilling the coffee all over your food!"

As we emerged into the glare of the Bowery he scrutinized my suit once again. I quailed. I now felt that to have come in such a screamingly new suit was a fatal mistake. I cursed myself for an idiot of a smart Aleck.
This time Mrs Goldsworthy did laugh. Deb joined in. "Funny, isn't it? I feel" sarcastically "like going into fits myself when I think of it, it is so screamingly absurd. And how it happened I can't tell you, unless it is that we are fallen into our dotage. I suppose it must be that." "You in your dotage!"
