"But a change is good for everyone. Don't you ever get away from Durford for a few weeks?" "Not very often. What with decidin' where to go, and fussin' to get ready, and shuttin' up the house, it's more trouble than its worth. Then there's so many things to 'tend to when you get home." "But don't you ever visit relatives?"
Mr. Hubbard gazes squint-eyed at the waiter and sniffs. "Come, now, who knows?" insists Eggy. "These humble people whom you so despise need only an opportunity. Can we afford to shut them out? Don't we need them as much as they need us?" "Mr. Ham," says J. Q., shuttin' his jaws grim, "my motto is, 'America for Americans!"

"Now, it might be," he started to say, again looking serious, "that all this fuss ain't worth the candle, and that nothin' 's going to happen; but I believe in shuttin' the door before the hoss is stolen; it's too late afterwards.
You can take it from me, Sammy Slawson, when things seem to be kinder shuttin' down on ye, an' gettin' black-like, same's they lately been doin' on us, that ain't no time to be chicken-hearted.

"Oh, divil a taste," says Larry; "I'm only shuttin' my eyes," says he, "to keep out the parfume o' the tibacky smoke, that's makin' them wather," says he. 'Well, when my father seen spakin' was no use, he went on with his story.
"You seem to be determined she shall die," said Sally in a tone of pique. "Determined, am I? Is it I that determines that the maple leaves shall fall next October? Yet I know they will folks can't help knowin' what they know, and shuttin' one's eyes won't alter one's road.
What was that?" demanded the boy. "Nothin', child, nothin', only a door shuttin' somewhere, or a window." At that moment a girl's voice caroled shrilly from the street. "Hullo, Keith, how do you do? We're awfully glad to see you out again." The boy started violently, but did not turn his head except to Susan. "Susan, I I'm tired. I want to go in now," he begged a little wildly, under his breath.
