"Now, my dear little girls," said she, "this quarrelling must stop. I want you to kiss each other as cousins should." This suggestion was a distinct failure.
I stands by my line und Sadie she makes faces on me with her hand. It ain't polite." This with plaintive self-righteousness. "No ma'an, it ain't polite you makes snoots mit your hand like this."
"I wouldn't want to, but I guess I'd have to," said Leon. "That's the law, and it's as good a way to make it as any. But I'm not going to kill any one.

A shudder of admiring awe swept over the assembled class followed by a gasp of open contradiction as Sadie went on with her vindication. For Sadie's snoots were the envy of all the class.
