I throwed rocks at him till my arm ached " "Why, you mean thing! You might have hit him and hurt him, and he's a nice dog. Poor old purp! Did he throw rocks, honest? He did? Well, just for that, I've got a nice ham bone that you can have to gnaw on, and he can't have a snippy bit of it. All he can do is eat a piece of lemon pie that will probably make him sick. We hope so, don't we?
Not a bit snippy or rich acting. She doesn't get at all excited over her new clothes and bossing those old fogeys around and ordering her motor any minute she wants it. She thinks the little place she lived in in New York is lots nicer than Gray Manor. When you look at her you think she's a baby and then when she talks, why she seems older than I am!
The Spaniards don't like us, and I dare say they have good reason, with all this talk of intervention and the secret help we're lending the Insurrectos. They held me up in Havana; tried to prove I was a spy. They were positively peeved when they failed. Snippy people, those Spaniards." "Well, I'll tell Mr. Carter you're here."
"But we must never let her think we have any grudge against her because we were the ones that won the Revolution," said Molly. "It wouldn't be polite to pick at her because she isn't an American. Do you suppose she will be very snippy, Polly? and will be disagreeable and run down America?" "Oh, my, I hope not; I'd hate her to be that way," returned Polly alarmed at such a prospect.
"Did you ever have such nice things to eat? And only think what a snippy meal we should have had at home!" Charlotte met the first of the glances with a covertly chiding look and an imperceptible shake of her head; then she refused to meet them, keeping her eyes away from her exultant brother.
If the dog-catchers get us they bring us to the pound, and if our folks don't come for us pretty soon, we are all shot!" Several dogs howled in despair, but the snippy little animal only stretched out for a nap. "Don't you feel badly, too?" questioned Jan. "Good gracious, no! I travel around with my folks and we live in hotels, and they make me wear a collar.
"That snippy little Henrietta Lamb has always snubbed Alice every time she's ever had the chance. She's followed the lead of the other girls; they've always all of 'em been jealous of Alice because she dared to try and be happy, and because she's showier and better-looking than they are, even though you do give her only about thirty-five cents a year to do it on!
Martie had never driven with a young man before, and so had no precedent to guide her, but she wondered if Rodney should not have gone with her to her own gate. Perhaps she had stayed too long another miserable possibility. And how "snippy" Ida and May had been! Still, Monroe had seen her driving with Rodney, and she had had tea at the Parkers'! So much was gain.
I asked her to come into my room a minute and told her." "Funny she didn't give you any reason why she couldn't come," pondered Jane with drawn brows. "She looked as though she'd been crying," returned Ethel. "I thought maybe she'd had bad news or something so I didn't urge her. She wasn't a bit snippy. She just looked white and a little bit sad." "I wonder if I ought to run up and see her."
"He was rather snippy about my leaving a book in the hall. There was a perfectly elegant gentleman in the office, a stranger to me. I wish he was a new teacher, but there's no such luck. He was too young to be the father of any of the girls, and too old to be a brother, but he was handsome as a picture and had on an awful stylish suit of clothes.
