If you say 'yes' I can think of something wonderful to do!" "What is it?" asked Waitstill, relenting at the sight of the girl's eager, roguish face. "PIERCE MY EARS!" cried Patty. "Say you will!" "Oh! Patty, Patty, I am afraid you are given over to vanity! I daren't let you wear eardrops without father's permission." "Why not? Lots of church members wear them, so it can't be a mortal sin.
Villon drew the pair a little way apart and stood between them, eyeing their roguish faces on which false affability struggled with a very real fear.

The king has no better subject, and Paris no more peaceable burgess than Casin Cholet."
The man was large, raw-boned and brindled, and he, also, walked in, complacently and condescendingly. The dog's ears had been cropped to match his tail, which in his infancy had been reduced to a very few inches. His under jaw protruded slightly showing the trace of bull in his make-up. That was the man all over. Besides he had a small, mean, roguish ear.
