Says he, 'I don't object to the children, my lord, but with her ladyship in the carriage. It's such servants as you as spoil places. No servant as knows what's due to a servant ought to know you. They'd scorn your 'quaintance, as I do, Mr. Pearman." "You are a stuck-up hussy, and a soldier's jade," roared Andrew. "And you are a low tea-kettle groom."

Look here, Ros Paine! I thought you was down on them Coltons. We fellers are only havin' a little fun with 'em for bein' so stuck-up and hoggish. Can't you take a joke?" "Not your kind. Go back, Zeb."
The second was perhaps almost as proud of their organisation as was the 'varsity of theirs, and when, the week after the Benton game, they once defeated and twice tied the other team, you might have thought they had vanquished Claflin, so haughty and stuck-up did they become!
