Now Ninny or Julia was almost ten years old, a dear, good, patient little girl, who bore with Flaxie's naughtiness, and hardly ever complained. But this afternoon, at four o'clock, her best friend, Eva Snow, was coming, and Ninny did hope that by that time her mamma would be at home again! Mrs. Gray and Mrs.
"Improbable your grandmother!" said the Older Man. "If there's one person on the face of this earth who makes me sick it's the ninny who calls a thing 'improbable' because it happens to be outside his own special, puny experience of life." Tempestuously the Younger Man slammed down his magazine to the floor. "Great Heavens, man!" he demanded.
"But to give two men a hundred pound each, an' choose the one that manages it best " "Worst," corrected Mrs Bosenna. "You ninny!" she went on with sovereign contempt. "Do you really suppose I'd marry a man that could handle my money, or was vain enough to suppose he could?"
I am a ninny, an ape, and mind I call myself these bad things because I deserve worse. I am flighty, I believe I am heartless. Charles is away, and I suffer no pangs. The truth is, I fancied myself so exceedingly penetrating, and it was my vanity looking in a glass.

James can do that but he couldn't see, he positively couldn't see that I'd be wasted at it."

Then suddenly burst out: "D'you think for a minute that that society girl will stand for your getting a job and trying to support her on your wages?" "She will if she loves me." "You poor ninny!" burst out I. Tapp. "You've got about as much idea of women as you have of business. And where are you going to work?"
After having conceived a hundred different tragic sequels to the accident, she was lifted by the mere creak of the gate into a condition of pure optimism, and she realized what a capacity she had for secretly being a ninny in an unexpected crisis. But she thought with satisfaction: "Anyhow, I don't show it. That's one good thing!"
I'll do anything in reason to help entertain your chum, ride or dance or skate or get up private theatricals, but I'll not make a ninny of myself trying to be flowery and get off complimentary speeches. It comes natural to some people, but I'm not built that way. I'd be as awkward at it as a fish out of water." Lloyd turned her head with a despairing gesture. "Oh, Rob, you're hopeless!
It won't do for the thing to leak out. I was a ninny to propose such a thing." They kissed each other and walked down stairs together.
