Miss Chisholm, who had the quality of grace and could double herself up comfortably on the floor like a child, became thoughtful over the class annual. "The Dicky, and the Hasty Pudding!" she commented. "Weren't you the Smarty?" Paul, who was standing with a well-worn pillow in his hand, turned and said hungrily: "Oh, you know Harvard?" "Why, I'm Radcliffe!" she said simply. Paul was stupefied.
The men turned from her to Ward Hannon, the field foreman, who had been Trevors's right-hand man and who now was sneering openly. "I'm saying it's no work for a kid of a girl," grumbled Hannon. "You run an outfit like this?" He laughed derisively. "It can't be did." "It can't, can't it?" cried Judith. "Tell me why, old smarty. Spit it out lively."
We mos' gin'ly waits two or three years after de bury-in' befo' we has members' funer'ls preached. An' we don't nuver, sca'cely, have 'em under a year. You see, dey's a lot o' smarty folks dat 'ain't got nothin' better to do 'n to bring up things ag'in dead folks's cha'acter, so we waits tell dey been restin' in de groun' a year or so. Den a preacher he can expec' to preach dey funer'ls in peace.
Most of "the boys" on the road mentioned him as "Smarty Smart," because of certain tendencies he had of making reductions in prices, of marking off charges for cartage or boxing, or of returning goods because he had changed his mind after buying them.
This was enough; and he opened up on me with several volleys of oaths, and offered to bet me the price of a new hat that there was a woman in that room making up beds. I took the bet and entered the room, the Doctor following, and immediately crying out: "There, smarty, there! Guess you will learn to believe what I tell you, once in a while." "But I have won, Doctor."
"Smarty DuPree hasn't much show when six of the fellows are going to vote for me." Conversation lagged. Miss Martin was nervously alert lest she encounter a friendly greeting from Sid while her escort was with her, and John became absorbed in the affairs of the morrow.
The item said the family had taken apartments at Red Gap's premier hotel de luxe, the American House; and Cousin Egbert, being told a million dollars was bet that he never could guess how the name was pronounced in English, he up and said you couldn't fool him; that it was pronounced Chumley, which was just like the old smarty only he give in that he was surprised when told how it really was pronounced; and he said if a party's name was Postlethwaite why couldn't they come out and say so like a man, instead of beating round the bush like that?
He used to spit -Gee! Some shot! He could hit a tree ten feet off." This was news to the girl from the Cities. "Say, how is she?" continued Earl. "Huh? How's who?" "You know who I mean, smarty." A tussle, a thumping of loose boards, silence, weary narration from Cy: "Mrs. Kennicott? Oh, she's all right, I guess." Relief to Carol, below. "She gimme a hunk o' cake, one time.
Moe stopped and the man jumped out of the truck long enough to heave the tire and wheel into the back. The man gave Moe a handful of change which Moe distributed among the little gang. Then he got in the truck beside the driver and waved for Jimmy to come along. "What's that for?" demanded the driver. "He's a smarty pants," said Moe. "A real good one." "Who're you?" "Jimmy James."
He lay down so that he could peep in at the open end of the old can and see Danny trying to make himself as small as possible at the other end. Reddy grinned until he showed all his long teeth. Reddy always is a bully, especially when his victim is a great deal smaller and weaker than himself. "I've got you this time, Mr. Smarty, haven't I?" taunted Reddy. Danny didn't say anything.
