"I have searched Miss Newton's house a number of times, but without success. To-day I decided to make one more effort, and so ransacked the place thoroughly. When in the stable I noticed that a red-brown field spaniel was doing a lot of snooping around in the rose garden, and I watched him for about ten minutes.
"I'm afraid General Petain wouldn't agree with you, Stubbs," interposed Hal. "He doesn't care what the people in the United States want. All he cares about right now is to lick the Germans." "Well, maybe you're right," Stubbs admitted, "but just the same I want you fellows to know that hunting news is not snooping." "Stubbs," said Chester, "I've got to give you credit.
"Oh, some no-good hobo," replied Bill. "If I catch him, I'll teach him to come snooping around folks' houses this Way." "I hope he didn't overhear our conversation about the galleon," suddenly exclaimed Frank, who had been struck by a sudden apprehension that perhaps this was no ordinary loafer or burglar, but some man who had got wind of Bill's discovery and meant to turn his find to advantage.
With mamma snooping over you and around you all day, with her 'dear child, 'mamma's pet, and 'What is it, dear? and 'Tell it all to your own mamma, as if I would! And 'my own mamma, indeed! As if I didn't know, Clarence, that she ISN'T. And papa, caring for nothing but this hideous, dreary rancho, and the huge, empty plains.
He has stolen my good name, my money, my body, he is trying to kill me! I know he came here and tried to poison your feeling against me and I think he must have succeeded, too. He has tried to set my own mother and sister against me in that same way. He goes snooping out to their home and makes them believe all sorts of tales about me.
"Wouldn't do any harm to learn the lay of the land," Jack told him, "especially since we mean to do most of our snooping under cover of night. So let's step out and take our little saunter. We know right well in a general way that the shack must lie down the shore, by that point jutting out a mile away.
Couldn't a gentleman be polite and agreeable to a young and charming lady whom circumstances had thrown in his way without having his motives misconstrued by a lot of snooping, idiotic menials whose only zest in life sprung from a temperamental tendency to belittle the big things and enlarge upon the small ones? What rot! What utter rot! Ask Britton!
Henry never was sure of anything but toot sweet and some devilish perversion was forever sticking sophomore German into my mouth, when French should have risen. The German never actually broke out. If it had, we should have been shot as spies. But it was so close that it always seemed to be snooping around ready to jump out. That made it hard for me to shine in French.
"My dear sah, there never lived a woman who had the arms, the neck, and shoulders that my wife possessed. I speak reservedly, too, sah, for since my demise I have seen thousands. A shade has some privileges, you know." "Godfrey Gloame!" cried his wife, suspiciously. "What have you been doing? Have you been snooping into the privacy of " "Now, my dear girl, do not be too hasty in your conclusions.
"The minute the door is opened it begins to sing like the four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie." "But what good is it?" said I. "Oh, well it keeps the servants from spending too much time in my apartment, snooping among my papers, perhaps; and it my some day come in useful in establishing an alibi if things go wrong with me. You'd have sworn I was in there just now, wouldn't you?"
