"I know what you mean, Brent," he replied, "and there may be something to the argument. It gives an idea of conservativeness and prosperity." "You've made a bull's-eye," said Trixton Brent, succinctly. "But but I'm not ready to begin on this scale," objected Howard.
Sally summarily marched across the room and flung the gay bonnet and the mournful one out of the window. Then she took out a bundle of very old underwear which had turned a saffron yellow with age.

"Why, darn your eyes, why shouldn't I think of it? Why did old Noah think of the Ark? Why, I ask you?" "He didn't," said Buck succinctly. "The feller that wrote the Bible thought of it." "What time is it? Oh, Lord, nearly three hours yet before school is out." "Say, are you off your base, lemme smell your breath. You act like Wait a second! There's something else I want to speak to you about.
I draw my salary every week, and any man that says I earn sixpence in the dark is at liberty to walk right in here and deposit his funeral expenses. If I'm supposed to be under a cloud there's my reply. But I demand a public inquiry." At ever increasing speed, succinctly, viciously he rapped out the words.
