"I'm not going to," said Tess. "I was reaching for some more butter for my toast not for your tooth." "We-ell!" confessed the smallest Kenway; "it just jumps when anybody comes toward it." "Be a brave little girl and go with sister to the dentist," begged Ruth. "No please Ruthie! I can't," wailed Dot.
Willis," Susan would say, at the club, "she's feeling wretchedly to-day, and she wants to be excused from your luncheon to-morrow!" "Oh?"

No, I suppose not!
"Well, put him in; but I want somebody who'll take a personal interest. There's no one that I can see." "What about Mr. Valerius, now he's come home?" "Val Dartie? With that father?" "We-ell," murmured Gradman, "he's been dead seven years the Statute runs against him." "No," said Soames. "I don't like the connection." He rose.
I'm getting good and tired of this meek business!" "We-ell," Sorry drawled amiably as she went past him, "playin' rabbit-under-a-bush mebby don't look purty, but it's dern good life insurance." "A coward's policy," Lorraine taunted him over her shoulder, and went to see what her father wanted.
A fine-looking fish, are they not? I know them. Somewhat depressed, and extended laterally?" "Guesso. You're 'tendin' school at the 'cadummy, ain't ye?" "Yes, we're there." "Thought so. Ye-es. We-ell, it's a good thing for the 'cadummy. Hope you'll ketch some o' them seedlin' fish. Ef ye do, you kin jest stuff 'em with big words, and bake 'em. They do say as how fish is good for the brains."

"Diseases don't grow up, I guess, but folks grow up and leave diseases like croup, and measles, and chicken-pox, behind them."

They began to say "that boy with the funny name is considerable of a boy," and things like that. Mr. Day gave him a little money, although Gummy did not want to take that. "You treat your little brothers and sisters with it, Janice's father said laughing. "They didn't have the fun of seeing you put out the fire." "We-ell," said the thoughtful boy, "I'll see what Momsy says about it first."
"We-ell, if you're game to buy a piano, I'm game to buy books. We staked Black Rim to a school, so we'll do the job right. And by the way, Belle, if you're going to get me to Jumpoff in time for that evening train, don't you think it's about time you started?"
He's a good boy, though, so far as I've ever been able to find out. Is it his looks? You've never seen him, but your wife has. Don't she like his looks?" "She hasn't mentioned his looks to me." "Is it his money? He hasn't got any of his own." "We-ell, of course that does count a little bit.
Dick turned later and awoke just in time to hear the voice of a sentry calling: "Half past eleven! Post number one, and all's we-ell!" Then, a little further away, another voice took up the refrain: "Post num-ber two, and all's we-ell!" "Jupiter!" gasped sleepy Prescott, becoming instantly wide awake.
