"Before Daney would dare do that he would consult with my father, and if my father had consented to it he would never have left to Daney the task of requesting such a tremendous favor of you for his account. If Daney ever consulted my father as to the advisability of such a course, my father refused to consider it." "What makes you think so, old smarty?" "Well, I know my father's code.
"Shall I?" she asked. "We are to be good friends after all?" "Or, are you going to kiss me?" Terry arched her brows at him. But there was a live fire in her eyes and a crimsoning tide under her lovely skin. "Smarty!" cried the old Terry. "Just try getting fresh with me and you'll get your face slapped!" Whereupon Steve's laughter boomed out joyously.
"The way I'd put it now having read a lot more of his new-dawning I'd say he was a little Jew smarty." The other Whipples had winced at this. The New Dawn was assuredly not the simple light-bringer to America's spiritual darkness that they had supposed it would be; but they were not yet prepared to believe the worst.
"No-o. I didn't say that," protested Reddy, looking very uncomfortable. "But you think it," declared Granny. "Now look here, Mr. Smarty, you do just as I tell you. You creep back there where you can watch Quacker and all that happens, and mind that you keep out of his sight. Now go." Reddy went. There was nothing else to do. He didn't dare disobey.
"I wouldn't take back what I said," said Pee-wee, finishing the lemon stick by a terrible sudden assault with his teeth. "Well, then, so there, Mr. Smarty," she said with an air of triumph, "I'm going to do a good turn, you see, because I made up my mind to it good and hard, and we'll make lots and lots of money. So do you promise to stay here and keep on being partners?
Sometimes he would walk on his hands, with his legs wriggling in the air, or turn a double somersault, or jump incredible distances across the extended arms of the Simpson twins; and his bosom swelled with pride when the girls exclaimed, "Isn't he splendid!" although he often heard his rival murmur scornfully, "SMARTY ALECK!" a scathing allusion of unknown origin.
There were hams, shoulders of bacon, eggs, and some fresh meat. Great loaves of evidently home-made bread were in the pantry. "We shall dine like kings!" cried Grace. "Better than some kings," said Betty. "Only I don't see any chocolates, Grace," and she laughed. "Smarty!" was the other's retort, but she laughed also. Such a jolly meal as it was!
It means a join in the ridge pole. That's what it means. And that ain't architecture, Master Billy smarty Unguin." Kate ran her eye over the offending length. The man's point seemed obvious. "It certainly looks like a join," she admitted unwillingly. For a moment Billy was disconcerted. But his inventive faculties quickly supplied him with a way out. Anyway, he could break up the other's argument.
But her eyes were clear and she smiled when she looked at him. ... "I won't tell anybody where I went," she said, "because I was a smarty and I thought I could make somebody do a good turn ever so ever so big. And they'd only laugh at me if I told them what it was. So I'm not going to be a tell-tale cat."
