But oh, John Chatterton, ye're an ass a reg'lar donkey, as a body may say, to get into tiffs of passion, and send back a beautiful girl's letters, because some land-louping vagabond on the top of a coach told you some report or other about a Mr Smith"
As in the end we came to a parting of the ways I want to write of Mr. Cleveland as a historian and not as a critic. He said to Mr. Carlisle after one of our occasional tiffs: "Henry will never like me until God makes me over again." The next time we met, referring to this, I said: "Mr. President, I like you very much very much indeed but sometimes I don't like some of your ways."
"And you also are too good to me," he continued, "in giving me this chance to ask your pardon." His voice took on the old caressing tone in which he used to make peace after their boy and girl tiffs. "I knew very well that with you I should have a stricter account to settle than with your mother," he said, smiling. "Yes," said Ruth again.
True, they had had their little tiffs, notably on the occasion when Tuppy with what he said was fearless honesty and I considered thorough goofiness had told Angela that her new hat made her look like a Pekingese.
Touchy themselves, they read all history in the light of personal affronts and tiffs; and I find this weakness indicated by the big thumb of Bismarck, when he places "sensitiveness to small disrespects Empfindlichkeit ueber Mangel an Respect," among the causes of the wild career of Knappe.
All the same, at the bottom of this public display of sisterly devotion and harmony and in spite of occasional tiffs and differences, there was genuine affection on both sides, for as a child Nita had adored Margaret, and there could be no doubting the elder's love for the child. Some regimental observers said that every bit of heart that eldest Terriss girl had was wrapped up in the little one.
The last time I dropped into his office I found him busy, between tiffs with contractors, sketching an underground story for the schoolhouse, like the great hall of the Cooper Institute, that should at the same time serve the purpose of an assembly hall, and put the roof garden one story nearer the street. That was his answer to the cry of elevators.
"Petting, Society, Art, travels! I had rather have had our two first years of tiffs than all that sort of happiness." "Tiffs! I thought we might have gone in for the Dunmow flitch." "You might! Do you mean that you forget how fractious and nasty and abominable I was, and how many headaches I gave you?" "Only what you had to put up with."
The fairies have their tiffs with the birds, but they usually give a civil answer to a civil question, and he was quite angry when these two ran away the moment they saw him. Another was lolling on a garden-chair, reading a postage-stamp which some human had let fall, and when he heard Peter's voice he popped in alarm behind a tulip.
These little tiffs have to be killed early like spring chickens. Sue has her dander up, I tell you. She met your aunt to-day. Said flatly that she had broken the engagement; that it was final " "Oh, she did?" was all Garrison could find to interrupt with. "Eh, demmit; pride, boy, pride," said the major confidently.
