Four corner holes must be bored by which to start the sawing, which, for ease in accomplishing, may be thus done upon straight lines. Through the sawed opening remove the viscera. With scissors and bone snips, free the legs at their joints with the back shell, cut the neck and tail vertebrae free and pull all these members inside out through the opened shell.
I'm sick to death of doing all the things I've done." With little metallic snips of sound she concentrated herself and her scissors suddenly upon the mahogany-colored picture of a pianola. "Well, what do you want?" quizzed Barton. In a sullen, turgid sort of defiance the girl lifted her somber eyes to his. "I want to stay home like other people and have a house," she wailed.
A troop of rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed little snips in white pantalets, caught in the act, reasoned with in a semi-circle, and cajoled with candy, were as sweet as distilled honey, and promised with all their innocent hearts and hands not to do so any more.
"If a girl can cook a little and " "Look there at Ray, nothing in her head but that novel she's reading, and little snips that'll treat her to a soda-water if she hangs round the White Front long enough, and ride her down to Brighton on one of those dirty excursion boats if she " "You shut up, Miriam Binswanger, and mind your own business!" "You let her talk to me that way, mamma?"
The child is placed facing the point of the compass which is auspicious for that year, and the sponsor, if the child be a boy, takes the scissors and gives three snips at the hair on the left temple, three on the right, and three in the centre.
In the Morning before the Boys are Circumcised, Presents are sent to the Father of the Child, that keeps the Feast; which, as I said before, is either the Sultan, or some great Person: and about 10 or 11 a Clock the Mahometan Priest does his Office. He takes hold of the fore-skin with two Sticks, and with a pair of Scissors snips it off.
He lays those snips and that dirt out on the table and leans over them on his elbows, and puts them together side by side and studies them mumbles to himself, 'Female'; changes them around mumbles, 'Six years old'; changes them this way and that again mumbles: 'Five teeth one a-coming Catholic yarn cotton kip damn that kip. Then he straightens up and gazes toward heaven, and plows his hands through his hair plows and plows, muttering, 'Damn that kip! Then he stands up and frowns, and begins to tally off his clues on his fingers and gets stuck at the ring-finger.
"I'd like to know what right Luigi Poggi has to tell my children not to tell their mother anything and everything!" She spoke with waxing excitement; every motherly pin-feather was erect.

He must have a pretty poor opinion of a woman that can raise six boys of her own and then be 'scared' at what two snips of girls can tell her.
Makes me feel foolish to think I'm not smart enough to get along, if I WANTED to, without those little snips of pine and brimstone. Here, Betsy, take a cooky. It's against my principles to let a child leave the pantry without having a cooky. My! it does seem like living again to have a young one around to stuff!"
You get out of my house or I'll throw you out and these two snips of girls with you," almost screamed Miss Brant. "That will do," said Mr. Bright sternly. "We will go, but we shall take Miss Mabel with us. I am a lawyer, Miss Brant, and I have positive proof that this child is not bound to you in any way. You took her from the orphanage on trial, exactly as you might hire a servant.
