"That's what I'm going to tell you. To start at the beginning, the first night Jack and I slept at Mrs. Snooks', we weren't warm enough. There weren't many covers on the bed, and in this hilly country the nights are cool, even when the days are pretty warm. So, in the morning, I spoke to Mrs. Snooks, and said we'd like some extra bedding, and she promised to attend to it."
Snooks with unconcealed disappointment. "Well, well! Young folks are certainly thoughtless. And here you've used up all your lard, and to-morrow the Fourth, and the store shut." From all appearances Mrs. Snooks was having something of a struggle to control her irritation at such evidences of short-sightedness.
The tar soap was a blessing both to himself and the patient, and the salts they both swallowed manfully and daily. There was rice, oatmeal, tapioca, jam, tinned stuffs and prunes, and Con knew as little of cookery as he knew of nursing, but he made shift with the little store in hand. Snooks kept alive and the boy remained well. But the nights were long periods of horror.
So Con went back to shake hands with "Snooks," who said very quietly: "I can't even say 'Thank you, as I want to; I guess the best way to thank a pard is to live it, not speak it. I ain't said a prayer for years till the day you came here, and I've prayed night and day, real prayers, that you wouldn't get this disease.

That may seem a little thing to the reader, but consider the delicate refinement of Miss Winchelsea's mind. Be as refined as you can and then think of writing yourself down: "Snooks." She conceived herself being addressed as Mrs.
I learned that <i>that</i> horse had never before been driven by a woman. He evidently was not pleased. Soon the following appeared among the local items of interest in the Gooseville Clarion: Uriel Snooks, who has been working in the cheese factory at Frogville, is now to preside over chair number four in Baldwin's Tonsorial Establishment on Main Street. Kate Sanborn is trying another horse.
The Ministry of Education had a little to offer; historical scholarship was still active, at least. He was reading about a new trove of source-material that had come to light on Uller, from the Sixth Century Atomic Era, when the door screen buzzed and flashed. He lit it, and his son Rodrik appeared in it, with Snooks, the little red hound, squirming excitedly in the Crown Prince's arms.
Well, you know, dear, he had told me what it really meant; it means Sevenoaks, only it has got down to Snooks both Snooks and Noaks, dreadfully vulgar surnames though they be, are really worn forms of Sevenoaks.
He promised to come back as soon as he fixed up another camera. It's very strange." Later they learned that when Russ and Mr. Pertell got back to the beach, leaving, as they supposed Ruth, her sister and Paul safe on the rocks, Pop Snooks, the veteran property man, discovered a certain nook that would answer for an important scene in the play.
Snooks," she wrote, and having once named him she kept on about him; it was all Snooks Snooks this and Snooks that. He was to give a public lecture, said Fanny, among other things.
