"Yes, or when you're put in a snippy little room 'way at the top of the house with nothin' in it," growled Nancy. Pollyanna sighed. "That was a hard one, at first," she admitted, "specially when I was so kind of lonesome. I just didn't feel like playing the game, anyway, and I HAD been wanting pretty things, so!
The white of his eyes was remarkably clear, the irises were remarkably blue, the pupils remarkably deep. Suddenly her face cleared and she laughed. "It was silly of me to be snippy, wasn't it?" she confessed, as she took his hand and stepped lightly to the ground. It had just recurred to her that when he knew Princeman was walking over to see her he had said nothing, but had engaged an automobile.
Having slandered the innocent Gringo, Mrs. Morrell stayed for a chat. Apparently she was always just on the point of departure, but never went. Nan, being, as she thought, in the wrong as to the worthy Gringo, tried her best to be polite, but was miserably conscious of being snippy. At the end of an hour the door bell rang again. If Nan had been watching, she might have seen Mrs.
And you ... Did you mean me by that snippy little thing you said about the 'I-knew-her-when' club? Oh, it was fair enough. I'm glad you said it. Because some people we know have been downright catty about her. But you both know perfectly well that I've stood up for her ever since last fall when we came through New York." John grinned.
And then Alley got hold of Délier and they are both talking about you I know because Délier said 'Oh give him another chance' and Alley said 'What's the use, Deller he's been here eight months and he doesn't seem to really get the hang of things, in that snippy little way and then 'I can't stand breaches of discipline like this. You know how nervous it gets him if as much as a fastener is out of place on his desk and Winslow's got a kid cousin he wants to put in here and if you don't act like mama's darling for a while "

Business, like nearly everything else, is easier to tear down than to build up, and one of the most devastating instruments of destruction is discourtesy. A contact which has taken years to build can be broken off by one snippy letter, one pert answer, or one discourteous response over the telephone.
What we got to do is to go as near as the ground'll let us, and then drive a trench." "Blow yer trenches! You always want trenches; you ought to ha' been born a rabbit Snippy."

And I was awfully snippy about those calves he lost." She began to wonder, then, about those calves. Vented and not rebranded, they would be easy game for any man who first got his own brand on them. She meant to get a description of them when she saw Charlie again it was like his innocence to forget the most essential details! and she meant to keep her eyes open.
"She likes you as well as she likes the rest of us. I don't believe she is awfully, terribly, fearfully fond of girls. When she was young she must have been one of those stiff, prim goody-goodies; the distressingly snippy sort that made all her friends so tired." Muriel laughed softly. Marjorie smiled at Muriel's unflattering description of Miss Merton's youth, then her face sobered.
