She got up as she spoke, gathering her trailing skirts about her, and called sharply to the little dogs. "The dew is rising," she said, "and Cappadocia's a regular cry-baby if she gets her feet wet. I must take her home. There's my card. You see the address? You can come when you like, only let me know the day beforehand, because I should be sorry to have people with me or to be out.
Lissa was still trembling with rage, and Ruth, who was rather a cry-baby, lifted up her voice and wept, partly because of the disappointment and partly because she could not bear people not to be what she called "all comfy together." Georgie Ruan heard the noise and came in briskly. Ishmael made her a despairing gesture to remove the two children. Georgie stood taking in the scene.
"I'm not a cry-baby ... I'm not!" wailed Lottie. "Sara, Sa ra!" "If she doesn't stop, Miss Minchin will hear her," cried Jessie. "Lottie darling, I'll give you a penny!" "I don't want your penny," sobbed Lottie; and she looked down at the fat knee, and, seeing a drop of blood on it, burst forth again. Sara flew across the room and, kneeling down, put her arms round her. "Now, Lottie," she said.
Danny Meadow Mouse was a cry-baby and no one wanted to play with him. If he stubbed his toe he cried. If Striped Chipmunk beat him in a race he cried. If the Merry Little Breezes pulled his whiskers just in fun he cried. It had come to such a pass that all the little meadow people delighted to tease him just to make him cry.
It proved to be a piece of pepper, a plate of which Oscar had found in the closet. This little experiment, however, did not leave George in a very pleasant frame of mind. It was some time before he got over his blubbering and pouting. Oscar called him a "cry-baby," for making such a fuss about a little bit of pepper, which epithet did not aid him much in forgetting the injury he had received.
He was not so big, this boy who had struck him, not so big. Bob was not afraid. But that a promise is a thing to be kept inviolate he had learned, oh, years ago, from Papa Jack, along with all the other of-course-ities of life, like telling the truth, keeping your troubles to yourself, and not being a cry-baby or a telltale. And a promise to mother well, nothing could be more sacred.
You'll kill us, cook, says he, 'if you goes on like this. They isn't nothin' worse for the system, says he, 'than this here burned water. The alamnacs, says he, shakin' his finger at the poor cook, ''ll tell you that! "'I 'low I did burn that water, skipper, says the cook, 'if you says so. But I isn't got all my wits, says he, the cry-baby; 'an' God knows I'm doin' my best!
Tom expected a fresh wail would follow this statement, for though Tabitha was not ordinarily a cry-baby, the day of trials had been too much for her; but he was surprised when after a moment of silence in which he was vainly trying to think of something consoling to say, she remarked, "Well, I don't know's I care much about the berries, 'cause we're going to move, and I s'pose if we had a lot of jelly put up, Dad would say it wasn't any use to take it with us, and we would have to leave it along with the rest of the truck they've been sorting out today."
And Margery she jumped up and began to yell and wave her arms and fell overboard. Then I remembered she couldn't swim and I went back and got her and Kent came and pulled us in shore. It wasn't anything, but Margery's such a cry-baby. Lizzie, she's terrible uncomfortable." Lydia's attention had returned to little Patience. "I'll take her up to bed," she said, "it won't take but a few minutes."
"It sticks in my throat like phlegm. What right has a man to have red hair when he is dead?" And he fell all of a heap again upon the stool, and fairly covered his face with his hands. Montigny and Dom Nicolas laughed aloud, even Tabary feebly chiming in. "Cry-baby!" said the monk. "I always said he was a woman," added Montigny, with a sneer.
