Billy threw an admiring, appreciative glance at her. "That's the stuff. That's what I like in a woman grit. Some of the girls I've had out well, take it from me, they made me sick. Oh, I'm hep to 'em. Nervous, an' trembly, an' screechy, an' wabbly. I reckon they come out on my account an' not for the ponies. But me for the brave kid that likes the ponies.
"Do they set on the gold chairs?" "No, indeed; the legs is too wabbly fer that. I reckon they're jes to show how rich they are. This here is where the carriage drives in.

Connery began to squirm on the floor and get to his wabbly knees, and Gilfoyle writhed back to consciousness with wits a-flutter. There was a silence of mutual attention for a while. Connery was growling from all-fours like a surly dog: "I'll get you for this you'll see! You'll be sorry for this." This restored Dyckman's temper to its throne.
Dot came down to breakfast with a most woebegone face, and tenderly caressing her jaw. She had a toothache, and a plate of mush satisfied her completely at the table. "I I can't che-e-e-ew!" she wailed, when she tried a bit of toast. "I am ashamed of you, Dot," said Tess, earnestly. "That tooth is just a little wabbly one, and you ought to have it pulled." "Ow! don't you touch it!" shrieked Dot.
