Philip was in the secret, and so were a dozen others who looked up to Philip and Fanny. Daphne entered the parlor, followed by Paul. There was a sudden tittering, snickering, and laughing. Paul stopped and bowed, then stood erect. "I declare, if there isn't old Grandaddy," said Philip, squinting through his eye-glass. "O my! how funny!" said a girl from Fairview. "Ridiculous!

Boston seemed to think that was funny, and took to snickering sort of superior. He was about a full dose for uppishness, that young feller was: going on as if he'd bought the Territory, and as if the folks in it was the peones he'd took over Mexican fashion along with the land. Then he said he guessed Santa did not ketch his meaning, and Monte Carlo was the biggest gambling hell there was.

After the roar of the gun had got away, in the distant timber, Tip mentioned a place abhorred of all men, turned and paddled for the landing. 'Could 'a killed 'im with a club, said he snickering.
