Cautiously: "Yes, I've thought some of going back into business. 'Course I'd hate to give up my exploring and all, but Progress, you know; hate to lay down the burden of big affairs after being right in the midst of them for so long." Which was a recollection of some editorial Father had read in a stray roadside newspaper. "And you mustn't suppose I'd be sniffy about Lipsittsville.
And to his shame Raymond heard it gleefully she had a "sniffy little cold" that made going out impossible. "Are you afraid of sniffy colds?" asked Nancy, "they say they are catching!" "I particularly like them," Raymond returned. "We'll have a big fire in the sunken room and," here Nancy gurgled over the telephone, "we'll toast marshmallows."
I do wonder, by the way, why one always has an innate sense of contempt for trippers, and longs to be sniffy and show one's own superiority? We must all be trippers somewhere and sometimes, or we would never see anything of the world; indeed I suppose I am by way of being a tripper now.

"It has been so blamed lonesome whenever she went to visit you, but yet I wouldn't say a word because I knew what a good time she had; but if I had known that there was a confounded, long-legged, sniffy young idiot all that while trying to steal my daughter away from me!"
Two camels and a dozen diminutive mules stood in the waist of one of these craft. The camels were as sniffy and supercilious and scornful as camels always are; and everybody promptly hated them with the hatred of the abysmally inferior spirit for something that scorns it, as is the usual attitude of the human mind towards camels.
Senter laugh at me for thinking it the real castle, but said it was a natural mistake for a girl who had spent all her life in a French school and how should I know the difference? I was grateful to him, for though I love to have some people laugh at me she isn't one of those people. She laughs in that sniffy way cats have.
