"The custom isn't founded upon logic, but solely upon the consent of the parties," was Betsy's ready rejoinder; "and who but a pair of old sobersides like you and Cousin Abby would sit here discoursing on 'logical connections, while all this fun is going on? 'Logical connection, indeed!" she exclaimed merrily, with a saucy toss of her curls.
Look even at Pussy Sobersides, with her dull, sleepy glance, her grave, slow walk, and dignified, prudish airs; who could ever think that once she was the blue-eyed, whirling, scampering, head-over-heels, mad little firework that we call a kitten? What marvelous vitality a kitten has. It is really something very beautiful the way life bubbles over in the little creatures.
"Them camera supports is named for it, you know. But of course this gay gink of a Sandy had to come buttin' in. Too bad the Honorable Bertie had partook so free. He'd have looked the part all right when it come to rescuin' beauty in distress. But Fortune bein' a lady and naturally capricious, she hands the stunt over to old Sobersides here." Just then old Sobersides cut across the flow of Mr.
He looked at us with his large, intelligent eyes, and wagged his tail slowly, as if to say, "Well, what do you want of me?" "Come and give me a hand at this training business, old Sobersides," said Ned, with a laugh. "It's too slow to do it alone. Now, young gentlemen, attention! To heel!"
"I thought," said Webster feebly, "that you was pretty sweet on Texas." "Sweet!" said Mary Jane, blushing with maidenly modesty. "Socorro is so dull. A young lady must have some diversion."

And then he went out and sat on the front stoop.
Of course they want you to play, you old sobersides! Don't you see that with Sawyer on pro there's a big hole in the line?

Not bad for the old Tannersville High School, is it?
"As to what you hope or despair, Brian, it could produce no other impression on the subtility of my fancy than pity for the man who could compare me considering the brilliancy of my career, and the extent of my future speculations to a quadruped like Sobersides, by asserting that I, as well as she, ought to be rubbed down!

"And I know more than one old sobersides who was gloriously topheavy when we got back to Pors-Even at night!" he chuckled liquorishly. The wind still went on with its fearful din.
It's only throwing pearls before swine." "I didn't mane to offind you," replied the warm-hearted brother; "I meant you no offince in what I said, so don't take it ill we'll have Sobersides out in no time and barrin' an extra rubbin' down to both of you, neither will be the worse, I hope."
