Better make it a quarter earlier, it's bad walking to-night." "David, please," coaxed Carol. "Goosie! Who but a wife would make an invalid of a man because he sneezes?"

"Betty is wonderful, isn't she, darling?" Mary said. "But, Em, you don't think there is any truth in it, do you? Mother would be so horribly shocked if there was anything like one of Betty's plays in the family, wouldn't she? And Tristram would never allow it either!" "Of course not, you goosie," answered Emily.
"I think you are a goosie," said Judy with a little laugh, then she caught hold of Anne with impatient hands. "Come on in, little red bird," she urged, "it's lovely in the water." Anne squealed and struggled, and finally waded in until the water came up to her knees. "Don't take me any farther, Judy," she begged, and when Judy saw her frightened face, she let her go.
"Well, and is your uncle the canon's garden more sacred than any one else's garden?" questioned Panoria flippantly. "What a goosie you are to ask that! Of course it is," declared Eliza. "But why?" Panoria persisted. "Why?" echoed Eliza; "just because it is. It is the garden of my great uncle the Canon Lucien; that is why." "It is, because it is! That is nothing," Panoria protested.

Altogether our wells are now yielding well over fifty thousand barrels of oil a day."

Perhaps someone coming to see us, Goosie." Sure enough, it was. A minute later Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ellins were givin' us the hail out front.
I didn't say I would, and I never meant to; and you may ask my father if I can get it off my finger without sawing the bone in two."

"Oh, don't, don't," said Veronica, catching hold of her arm. "Don't worry, you precious old goosie," said Sahwah, laughing. "I didn't mean really. I was only in fun. Did you think I was going in with my clothes on?
But I can't write like your cousin Helen," she added, jealously. "No matter. You'll do; and you will be growing older and constantly improving and I shall begin to travel for the house by and by and my letters will be as entertaining as a book of travels." "Will you write to me? I didn't think of that." "Goosie!" he laughed, giving her Linnet's pet name.
"Oh, but English is so easy to bluff in!" I exclaimed, "almost any string of words will do if the teacher asks for a discussion of a tendency or of nature or vocabulary or poetic form or something.
