When I expect a compliment and get something quite different I always get snippy. So I said, with what I intended to be crushing dignity, "that I supposed I wasn't the same girl; I had grown up, and if he didn't like my curls he needn't look at them. For my part, I thought them infinitely preferable to that horrid, conceited-looking moustache he had grown."
There was Snippy Brown, a poor old harmless nigger, trying to earn an honest living by selling a surreptitious bottle from a hole in the ground to a thirsting neighbor in the dead of night. Plainly Snippy Brown was fairly crying to be raided. Matters raided him. And he got a couple of hundred of bottles on ice. "'Served him right, I said, in a Sabbatical voice. "'To be sure it did.
I got her. She was snippy to me two or three times and I won't stand that. It's all right if anybody wants to get good and mad, but I detest snippy folks. So I said to myself, 'I'll get you, young lady, and within three days I had her!” Kelly was called away and never finished the story, but Victor did. The girl, it seems, got several slices of ham one day from one of the chefs.
Lorna was returning rather late from the motion-picture, thought Lane, and he raised his head from the pillow, to lean toward the open window, listening. "Come across, kiddo," said a boy's voice, husky and low. Lane heard a kiss then another. "Cheese it, you boob!" "Gee, your gettin' snippy. Say, will you ride out to Flesher's to-morrow night?" "Nothing doing, I've got a date. Good night."
"Don't eat it if you don't want to," said Dulcie. "And don't put on so many airs and scold so with your eyes. I wonder if you'd be so superior and snippy if you had to live on six dollars a week." It was not a good sign for Dulcie to be rude to General Kitchener. And then she turned Benvenuto Cellini face downward with a severe gesture.
"You know, Dick, the attention that seems like a trifle to you, with a life full of interests, may look like a serious affair to her." "See here, old man, you needn't be so snippy. Must I confine my philanthropy to the old and ugly to keep it above suspicion?
On the few occasions when Simeon had taken her there to lunch on Sunday the only dissipation he allowed himself -she had thought the butler supercilious, and the maid who came to help her off with her wraps, snippy. She had suspected the woman of turning her little coat inside out after it was confided to her care, and sneering at its common lining.
"There they go!" he muttered to-day, a moment after he heard the front door closing, a sound recognizable throughout most of the thinly built house. Alice had just returned, and Mrs. Adams called to her from the upper hallway, not far from Adams's door. "What did she SAY?" "She was sort of snippy about it," Alice returned, ascending the stairs.
She continued on her way, but once she reached the table she thumped the dishes down to vent her spite. "To think them city gals kin wind Jeb about their fingers like that! On a Sunday, too! Ah wonder hain't he got no respeck fer me an' the Brewster women, that he allows them snippy misses to git him to carry underwear him what's an unmarried man, at that!"
Why, I damn near fainted. His daughter too good for the likes of us! Of course I got so mad I couldn't see! Of course I pasted him square in the eye! And if I catch him sayin' things about me I'll knock his stuck-up head off! And I tell you, If you go near the dirty oilcan's place, And crawl around that snippy brat of his, I'll kick you out into the street to stay. You hear that?
