Lady Gwendolen spoke first and instead of being haughty and disdainful, she was as humble as a new-born kitten. "Oh! you dear, shabby, disrespectable, darling things!" she said. "Never, never, will I scorn you again. Never, never!" "That's right!" said Peter Piper in his cheerful, rather slangy way. "You take my tip-never you scorn any one again. It's a mistake. Just you watch me stand on my head.
"Especially when Gee Gee gets after us with a sharp stick," grumbled Bobby. "Don't mind Bobby," said Laura, laughing. "She is dreadfully slangy, and sometimes quite impossible. We do have fine times at Central High. Especially in our games and athletic work." "Miss Steele must be sure and come to our Ice Carnival next week," said Jess. "'Ice Carnival'?" cried the Red Cross girl.
Only child unit and six ciphers carries diamonds loose in her pocket that's the story good-looking lively a little slangy called Livingston Jerkins 'Living Jingo' to his face one day. I want you to see my lot before you do anything serious. You owe something to the family, Mr. William Murray Bradshaw!
"We'll come to Tom's dinner party, provided he has luncheon with us," stipulated Grace. "It's almost noon now. Mrs. Elwood will have luncheon ready at one. You'd better come with us, Tom. We are going to have strawberry shortcake with whipped cream, for dessert." "You couldn't lose me," asserted Tom with slangy emphasis. "Shall I go on ahead and telephone for a car, Aunt Rose?"
"You shouldn't allow your personal dislikes, Rupert, to provoke you to speak of a fellow-scholar in that way and a young lady, too," corrected the master dryly. "The woods is full o' sich feller-scholars and sich young ladies, if yer keer to go a gunning for 'em," said Rupert with dark and slangy significance.
I say, we'll have Hester to meet him; she will come for such a painter though the whole peerage would not get her to budge an inch. I wish we could tone her down a little bit, but he must just swallow her whole. She is good and clever enough to be permitted that rugged line of her own. Oh! but isn't Tom Robinson a trump? I will be slangy, Annie as May says, it is so expressive."
"Why not, Bess?" cried Dora Lockwood. "I think she lies awake thinking up mean things to do to us." "Oh, oh!" murmured Nellie. "I bet you!" exclaimed the slangy Bobby. "Careful, girls. If she hears you!" warned Laura. "Then you would be 'perspicuous au grautin, as the fellow said," chuckled Bobby. "There! the whistle has sounded." "The fete has begun," sighed Jess.
"Show him in, in just two minutes," Mary directed. "Who's the gink?" Aggie demanded, with that slangy diction which was her habit. "You ought to know," Mary returned, smiling a little. "He's the lawyer retained by General Hastings in the matter of a certain breach-of-promise suit."
And Lynette, habitually courteous and rather amused, and not at all unwilling to know a little more of the affected, slangy, overdressed little woman, sits down upon the other end of the sprawling stone column, and says, smiling at Baby, who is clutching at a hovering butterfly with her eager, dimpled hands: "Of course, it was a terrible shock to you when you missed her. She is such a darling!
