But our Jack is not like that, sir; and I will not have him spoken of. Leave him indeed! Who wants you to do more than to leave him alone, sir; as he might have done you the other night; and as no one else would have dared to do. And after that, to think so meanly of me, and of my children!" "Hoity, toity, Sarah! Your children, I suppose, are the same as other people's."
How far you may have just ground of complaint against him, I do not know, nor will I inquire. He is my father, and that should protect his name in my presence." "Hoity, toity!" "I will ask you to hear me if you please, sir. I have received very many good offices from you, for which I heartily thank you. I am aware that I owe to you all my education and support up to this time.
Should he lecture his wife for her presumption in meddling in his affairs, which were quite beyond her comprehension as a woman, or should he make light of the matter and laugh it off?

"Hoity! Toity! Pretty talk we're having, and Saint Nicholas's Eve almost here! What wonder the yarn pricks my fingers! "Let me stay home with you, Mother," said Gretel, looking up with eyes that sparkled through their tears. "Hans will buy me the cake." "As you will, child, and Hans wait a moment. We'll keep the Feast of Saint Nicholas after all." Gretel clapped her hands. "That will be fine!
"Hoity, toity!" muttered Victor; "he thinks he can lord it over us, surely." "Be quiet, father!" entreated Jeanne. Her quick eye saw something new in the bearing of both Willan and Victorine. But Victor was not to be quieted. With an angry oath, he sprung forward from the porch, and began to upbraid Willan in no measured tones. Willan lifted his right hand authoritatively. "Wait!" he said.
He resisted, however, and said he was not sleepy and would not go. Mrs Maclean now came to his mamma's assistance. She had no notion of a little boy behaving as Norman was doing. "Hoity, toity, young gentleman, I cannot have you treat your mamma in this way in my house, so come along this instant, and do not let me hear another word from you."

'I don't know about noble, I'm sure, observes Mrs Pipchin; irascibly rubbing her nose. 'But I know this that when people meet with trials, they must bear 'em. Hoity, toity! I have had enough to bear myself, in my time! What a fuss there is!
But the girl had flung herself on her knees before her, and, clinging to her skirts, burst, into a flood of tears and prayers; while her sister-in-law stepped forward as if to second her, and cried out, in great excitement, that her Majesty would not be so cruel as to "Hoity, toity!" said the Queen, cutting her short, very grimly.
