I could lick you with one hand tied behind me, if I wanted to." "Well why don't you DO it? You SAY you can do it." "Well I WILL, if you fool with me." "Oh yes I've seen whole families in the same fix." "Smarty! You think you're SOME, now, DON'T you? Oh, what a hat!" "You can lump that hat if you don't like it. I dare you to knock it off and anybody that'll take a dare will suck eggs."
Could you get another with some of your horse money?" I saw it coming and dodged again, before I remembered the Crusaders. "All right!" I said. "If that's the way you are going to act, Smarty, I'll lay all the blame on you; I won't help you a bit, and I don't care if you are whipped until the blood runs." Then I went out of the barn and slammed the door.
In the evening he rode it up and down Main Street, frightening the horses and arousing the envy of the town boys. He learned to ride without putting his hands on the handle-bars and the other boys began to call him Smarty Hunter and later, because he wore a stiff, white collar that folded down over his shoulders, they gave him a girl's name.
At last he must be attending to those things and she said artlessly that she would be "around" when school let out. And he hastened away, hating her for it. "Any other boy!" Tom thought, grating his teeth. "Any boy in the whole town but that Saint Louis smarty that thinks he dresses so fine and is aristocracy!
F. said that The Phenix would be just the name for it, because it would give the idea of a resurrection from its dead ashes in a new and undreamed of condition of splendor; but some low-priced smarty on one of the dailies suggested that we call it the Lazarus; and inasmuch as the people were not profound in Scriptural matters but thought the resurrected Lazarus and the dilapidated mendicant that begged in the rich man's gateway were one and the same person, the name became the laughing stock of the town, and killed the paper for good and all.
"Who's telling this, smarty? And he said he knew my papa's papa's folks in Poland and they had a dandy big house. Right on a lake!" Doubtfully, "Maybe you don't believe it?" "Sure. No. Really. Sure I do. Why not? Don't think I'm kidding you, honey, but every time I've noticed you I've said to myself, 'That kid has Blue Blood in her veins!" "Did you, honest?" "Honest I did.
And if I plunged in to be of assistance I might be suspected of being a fresh guy." "It's half a dozen miles to the ranch-house," she condescended to tell him. "And it's going to get dark in no time.

"You know: "'Miss Smarty gave a party, No one came. Her brother gave another, Just the same." Then, feeling suddenly that he had not improved matters, he fell silent. "Oh," said Mrs. Duff-Whalley, rearing her head like an affronted hen, "the difficulty, I assure you, is not to find guests but to decide which to select." "Quite so, quite so, naturally," murmured Mr.
She raved a lot about that hair of yours, Jake." "You go on now, Smarty!" says Jaky boy, grinnin' expansive. "Think I'm goin' to wear duds like them?" "You do if you appear out again with me," says I. "So peel the butternut regalia and lemme see if I can harness you up in these." "Hee-haw!" remarks Uncle Jerry. "Let him fix you up real harnsome, Jake."
And if Wolf or Rose died and left a lot of children, the other one would always be there to take in whoever was left you know what I mean!" "You're the one Wolf ought to marry, to make it complete," Rose, who was neatly marking a cross-stitch "R" on a crash towel, retaliated neatly. "I can't marry my cousin, Miss Smarty."
