Out of the profits of Hattie's justly famous Brown Cold Cream Guaranteed Color-fast Mulatto, Medium, Chocolate, had come Marcia's ermine muff and tippet; the enamel toilet set; the Steinway grand piano; the yearly and by no means light tuition toll at Miss Harperly's Select Day School for Girls. You get the whimsy of it? For everything fair that was Marcia, Hattie had brownly paid for.
So Haggerty had his failures; there are geniuses on both sides of the law; and the pariah-dog is always just a bit quicker mentally than the thoroughbred hound who hunts him; indeed, to save his hide he has to be. Nearly every great fact is like a well-balanced kite; it has for its tail a whimsy.
Three miles away on the summit of the next ridge was the Masters ranch, and there rested the centre of her soul-storm. Bertram Chester, she knew by chance, was spending the week-end with the Masters.

What! you are in the season of generosity, an affectionate son, wealthy as a Magyar prince of flocks, herds, mines, and men, and you let him stand in the shade deprived of his birthright? Are you a purse-proud commoner or an imbecile? 'My whimsy aunt! the princess interposed again, 'now you have taken to abusing a defenceless Englishman. 'Nothing of the sort, child.

Colin Semple viewed his companion with a more sympathetic expression. "I'm sorry you're so hipped," he said, in gentle tones. "It can't be more than some passing whimsy.
There was a palpable uncertainty, curiosity, and perhaps reserve in her attitude, as if she wondered whether he would begin talking pompous platitudes or, on the contrary, breezing into some whimsy. He didn't quite know what to say or do. He felt like a human interrogation point; aware of the necessity of finding out something and adapting himself to that knowledge.
"TWO things," said Laddie, just as serenely. "That Miss Pryor wants me, and that I want to come." "D'ye mean to tell me that you DON'T want to come, eh? After the fight you put up to force your way in!" Laddie studied the sky, a whimsy smile on his lips. "Now wasn't that a good fight?" he inquired. "I'm mighty proud of it!
"WIDOW. Nay, thou hast ever been my comfort, my confident, my friend, and my servant; and now I'll reward thy pains; for tho' I scorn the whole sex of fellows I'll give them hopes for thy sake; every smile, every frown, every gesture, humour, caprice and whimsy of mine shall be gold to thee, girl; thou shalt feel all the sweets and wealth of being a fine rich widow's woman.
"Sirrah Jerningham," answered the patron, "discard they memory, or keep it under correction, else it will hamper thy rise in the world. Thou mayst perchance have seen me also have a fancy to play at trap-ball, or to kiss a serving wench, or to guzzle ale and eat toasted cheese in a porterly whimsy; but is it fitting thou shouldst remember such follies? No more on't.
