The only remark he made was in answer to a look of surprise on my face when I peered curiously into the bare hall and made a cursory mental inventory of its contents. "Yes, colonel; you will find, I regret to say, some slight changes since the old days. Then, too, my home is in slight confusion owin' to the spring cleanin', and a good many things have been put away."
William's face was a study in holy innocence. His father glanced at him suspiciously. There were certain expressions of William's that he distrusted. William entered the dining-room morosely. Jimmy's sister Barbara a small bundle of curls and white frills was already beginning her porridge. "Goo' mornin'," she said, politely, "did you hear me cleanin' my teef?" He crushed her with a glance.
Think o' him sleepin' on the table the table as we eat our victuals on!" "No no. Don't try to wake him up first!" cried Phoebe. "Let's have breakfast we can have it in the kitchen an' then you can douse him afterward. Just think of the wipin' an' cleanin' we'll have to do after it. We'll be starved if we wait breakfast for all that ruction!" Rebecca reflected a moment.
If the furnishings is what she ree-presents and you'd conseeder takin' me in on shares I might conseeder " "Consider what?" gasped Dulcie. "Conseeder advancing for the storage of the furnishings with the furnishings as security o' course. And doin' some cleanin' toward the matter o' what ma rent would be.

I don't know what exact nature of sail you'd call 'em pyjama-stun'sles with a touch of Sarah's shimmy, per'aps but the riggin' of 'em an' all the supernumerary details, as you might say, bein' carried on through an' over an' between the cutter an' the forge an' the pork an' cleanin' guns, an' the Maxim class an' the Bosun's calaboose and the paintwork, was sublime. There's no other word for it.
He's a different sort altogether from them two murderin' villains that sits in the house all day playin' cards. He's a good, smart fellow, and has done a lot of breakin' and cleanin' up since he came. What he thinks of the other two lads I don't know she never says, but I'd like fine to know."
Ye tak it as gien there was shame intil 't! An' gien there wasna shame, I daur ye to priv there can be ony disgrace!

"We didn't know what to do with it," she went on, speaking more hesitatingly, "because you see my brother doesn't like us to turn the house upside-down with cleanin'; he hates havin' things disturbed; an' we were afraid he would be put out to find what we'd done. So we decided to wait till some time when he wasn't round an' make way with it." Jane caught her breath.

"Better finish cleanin' out th' pan, Dick," he said. "Thar's probably more gold in it." "Gosh, if I didn't forget it!" and Dickson grabbed up the pan and began washing its contents with feverish haste.
She'll go right to cleanin' that calico filly, Zaraza, an' never think a mite about her clean clothes. Not till she gets 'em dirty then nothing'll do but she must put on fresh.
