If you do anything that we can't stand for, Hen, we'll put you outdoors with Mr. Fits." "You wait on me, boy," ordered Fits gruffly. "Yes, sir, I " " won't," Dave finished for him snappily. "See here, Hen, you are of no account here. Look out that you don't make yourself too unpopular to be allowed to remain here to-night."
Miss Wrenn, the office prude, a little angry at being caught listening to this nonsense, would answer snappily. "Limbs, then," Susan would proceed graciously, "or, as Miss Sherman says, legs " "Oh, Miss Brown! I DIDN'T! I never use that word!" the little woman would protest. "You don't! Why, you said last night that you were trying to get into the chorus at the Tivoli!
He said it with emotion; evidently Dr. McQueen had been very dear to him, and any other girl would have been touched; but Grizel stiffened, and when he had finished, this is what she said, quite snappily: "He never liked you." Tommy was taken aback, but replied, with gentle dignity, "Do you think, Grizel, I would let that make any difference in my estimate of him?"
"I don't think he wants to go," retorted Kesiah rather snappily, and opening the book again she began to read. For an hour her voice droned steadily in the firelight, while Molly, with her head against Mrs. Gay's knee, looked through the casement window to where the October roses bloomed and dropped in the squares of the Italian garden.
"Why don't you help out then, if you think I don't do enough of it?" asked Jack rather snappily. "Oh, come now," went on Bert. "I was only joking. I sure am glad you thought of it. It's a wonder some of us didn't fall to that idea before this. We'll tell Tom, as soon as he comes in, and I'll wager that if we go about it right we can clear this thing up in a day or so."

All about were other floes, but they were widely separated, and between them crisp waves of indigo were curling snappily. The island stood up sharp and jagged, much larger than Rainey had anticipated.
Eleanor Mercer, who had heard her at work, was waiting for her. "Oh, Miss Eleanor," said Bessie, tensely, "those girls are all around at the other side of the house, watching. They laughed at me like anything when they saw me, and I'm sure they think we'll have to get the guide to let us out." "Good," said Eleanor, snappily. "Do you think we can get behind them, Bessie?"
Is this fairyland?" "It must be the place of Heer Dudok de Wit," answered the young lady, snappily. "He is a wonderful man, and many people say that no visit to Holland can be complete without a visit to his house. He's a great character has walked all over the world, and brought back curiosities for his museum, to which he gives free admission.
Jimmy rounded on him: "You you wouldn't see harm in anything; but Christine's a very attractive little thing, and " He broke off, flushing dully. "Anyway, I won't have it," he added snappily. "I don't see how you're going to stop it, unless " "Unless what?" "Unless you go down there." Sangster spoke deliberately now.
"Salsette boys this way!" boomed a stentorian voice. "Good-bye, Betty. See you soon," whispered Bob, giving Betty's hand a hurried squeeze. "We're only across the lake, you know." "You chaps, move!" directed the voice snappily. With one accord the group dissolved, the boys hastening to the stage marked "Salsette" and the girls following Miss Anderson.
