"We'll ask all the neighborhood and even some out of the neighborhood. We'll have the band up from Louisville and a caterer from there and do the thing up brown," chuckled Pete. "Maybe society will hold back when we ask them to come to old Dick Buck's granddaughter's ball," suggested one. "Don't tell 'em whose ball it is until they get there. That's the way to catch the snippy ones.
He told himself that his Platonic regard for Georgie was a noble thing and did him honor, but it was an honor which he preferred to wear as an entirely private decoration. He was conscious of being laughed at by Willie and Scraggs and disapproved of by Miss Wiggin, who was very snippy to him. And in addition there was the omnipresent horror of having Abigail unearth his philandering.
"Somehow, I have an idea she won't be so very scornful," said Marjorie hopefully. "Being expelled from boarding school may have a soothing effect on her," agreed Jerry grimly. "I suppose it really isn't very knightly to say snippy things about a person one intends to reform." "I think you are right, Jerry," broke in Marjorie with sweet earnestness.
Soon he began to snore loudly. But Hürlin's curiosity was not yet exhausted. "Are you asleep, Heller?" "No." "There's plenty of time.... Tell me, you're a sailmaker, aren't you?" "I was a master sailmaker." "And now ?" "And now you must think a lot of me, to ask such silly questions." "Oh, you needn't be so snippy!

When I wrote Mother I told her all about it the signs and symptoms, I mean, and how different and thawed-out Father was; and I asked if she didn't think it was so, too. But she didn't answer that part. She didn't write much, anyway. It was an awfully snippy letter; but she said she had a headache and didn't feel at all well.
Had he counselled Mr Moffat to say a word or two about the tides, his advice would not have been less to the purpose. "Gentlemen," he began again "you all know that I am a thorough-paced reformer " "Oh, drat your reform. He's a dumb dog. Go back to your goose, Snippy; you never were made for this work. Go to Courcy Castle and reform that."
"Yes a little." "Unpardonably?" "N-no. I always can pardon." "You dear!" said Constance impulsively. "Listen; Virginia does snippy things at times. I don't know why and she doesn't either. I know she's sorry she was rude to you, but she seems to think her rudeness too utterly unpardonable. May I tell her it isn't?" "If you please," said Shiela quietly.
And when I try to get her to tell me what it is, she gets right snippy and tells me to mind my own business. And I'll tell you right now, Mr. Carroll if there's one person in the whole world who always minds their own business and who doesn't pay the slightest attention to other peoples' affairs that person is me.
There was something, I know, for when I said I was coming home sooner than I had at first intended, she didn't try to make me stay." "Perhaps," said Mrs. Ogden, "she was disappointed in something, and so vented her feeling on you." "But she wasn't cross except when I asked her what the matter was. She was just just snippy." "Was Mr. Stirling there?" "Yes. And a lot of other people.
