'That is only a story for stupids, and was invented, long ago, by some one who didn't want to be disturbed in the most charming spot in the whole garden. As soon as you sat down on that grassy carpet, you would be happy and well again. Listen, then, come with me. He shook his head but without any sign of vexation, as though indeed he liked thus being teased.
"You have very little accent, but I fancy that I can just detect it, and we don't see eyes like yours in England." "Yes, I am American, Lady Medlincourt," Virginia answered. "Who are your people, then?" Lady Medlincourt asked. "Where did you meet? Who introduced you? Don't look at one another like a pair of stupids.
"You stupids!" said Bevis, "what is the use of talking in that way? I want to know the secret." "There is no secret," said the jay; "and I am not stupid. How can there be a secret, when everybody knows it?" "Hush! hush!" said the hare, trying to make peace; "do not let us quarrel, at all events, if all the rest do." "No," said the squirrel; "certainly not." "Certainly not," repeated the jay.
"He'd like you to." "Tell me, if you know," threw out the other, looking into her broad, good-natured face. "Is he still interested in Miss Hannaford?" "Why, of course! He's one of the stupids who keep up that kind of thing for a lifetime. But 'he that will not when he may'! Poor silly fellow! How I should enjoy boxing his ears!"

By this time, the dogs, panting, and lolling out their tongues, came swinging along, keeping the trail, like stupids, and consequently losing ground when the deer doubled. But, when the doe had got into the timber, she heard the savage brutes howling across the meadow. The courage of the panting fugitive was not gone: she was game to the tip of her high-bred ears.
"You stupids!" cried the great fish; and, pushing the little frogs and the big frogs all to the right and left with his huge body, he swam to little drowning Froggy, seized the poor little fellow in his big mouth and carried him safely to his home by the shore. There the great fish left Froggy, to be cuddled by his silly brothers and to be crooned over by his good but stupid mother.
The shadows of the woods were formidable. He was certain that in this vista there lurked fierce-eyed hosts. The swift thought came to him that the generals did not know what they were about.

Graeme and Rose exchanged doubtful glances as they passed the dining-room windows. There was an ominous display of silver on the sideboard, and the enlargement of the table had been on an extensive scale. "If she has spoiled Janet's evening in the garden, by inviting a lot of stupids, it will be too bad," whispered Rose. It was not so bad as that, however.
A marriage should be royal and chimerical; it should promenade its ceremony from the cathedral of Rheims to the pagoda of Chanteloup. I have a horror of a paltry wedding. Ventregoulette! be in Olympus for that one day, at least. Be one of the gods. Ah! people might be sylphs. Games and Laughter, argiraspides; they are stupids.
