'I tell you I ain't agoin' to eat fat, he said, in a hoarse voice, as if his throat was stuffed up with one of his own newspapers. 'I want a special, I don't want a hordinary. 'This are a special, I tells you, retorted Spilsby, ungrammatically, pushing a smoking pie towards the boy; 'what a young wiper you are, Grattles, a-comin' and spoilin' my livin' by cussin' my wictuals.
The boy jabbered on quite ungrammatically with the most droll coolness; he was very intelligent and wide awake, and guessed more than he understood: often he guessed wrong; but he was the first to laugh at his mistakes. He talked eagerly about his travels and his reading.
Want a new-fangled appendix cutter from Denver, do you? Time to shove old Doc Lee aside, eh?" "I didn't say that, doc," she repented. "Huh! You meant it. Wonder how many times he'd get up at midnight and plow through three-foot snow for six miles to see the most ungrateful, squalling little brat " "Was it me, doc?" she ungrammatically demanded. "It was you, Miss Impudence."
As I have laid this down to be mechanical and attainable by whoever will take the necessary pains, there will be no great vanity in my saying, that I saw the importance of the object so early, and attended to it so young, that it would now cost me more trouble to speak or write ungrammatically, vulgarly, and inelegantly, than ever it did to avoid doing so.
Us?" demanded Lark, indignantly and ungrammatically. "Do you think we can carry home oysters for the the personal consumption of this Babbling young prince? Not so! Let Fairy go after the oysters! She can carry them home tenderly and appreciatively. Carol and I can't! We don't grasp the beauty of that man's nature." "Oh, yes, twinnies, I think you'll go, all right.
"It's 'him'!" cried Gowan ungrammatically. "He's done it most thoroughly too! Carmel, you'll be married the first of any of us! You'll ask us to the wedding, won't you?" At that moment a chorus of pops came from the grate, causing much rejoicing or dismay from the various owners of the chestnuts, according to the fate meted out to them by the omens.
He just sits there and never opens his mouth." "Very wise of him if he hasn't got anything to say." "No, but really do you think so? It doesn't make him popular." "Why, who doesn't like him?" "Nobody," answered Henry ungrammatically. "None of the English anyway. They can't stand him at the Embassy or the Mission.
Suiting up was easier with help, but he didn't care for company just then; he began the ten-minute process of donning and checking his suit alone. That the Traiti spoke Imperial English, even ungrammatically and with an accent, didn't surprise him.
Why? Why?" chanted Billy, "but don't anybody dare to guess why! Who wants to know!" "Not me!" echoed ungrammatically Laura Ann. While they waited and speculated mildly, and packed and repacked their things, T.O. lay on the bed in Emmeline Camp's little bedroom and winced with pain whenever she moved her wounded foot. But she was very happy.
He is a plain, homely Yankee, quite unpolished by his many years' residence in Italy; he talks ungrammatically, and in Yankee idioms; walks with a strange, awkward gait and stooping shoulders; is altogether unpicturesque; but wins one's confidence by his very lack of grace.
