She wanted to appear to be a very wealthy landowner, and did, in fact, succeed in doing so. Her manner was superb like that of a real aristocrat, which indeed she was by birth. "But what a person my aunt is!" she said suddenly, looking at me with a smile. "We had a slight tiff, and she has bolted off to Meran. What do you say to that?"
"REINSBERG, 6th November, 1736. ... "that my Most All-gracious Father has had the graciousness to send us some Swans. My Wife also has been exceedingly delighted at the fine Present sent her.... General Praetorius," Danish Envoy, with whose Court there is some tiff of quarrel, "came hither yesterday to take leave of us; he seems very unwilling to quit Prussia.
I keep no secrets from an old friend, you see. Can't you guess?" "I'm not good at guessing." "Had a little tiff with Cara," said Ellis in a half whisper, as he bent to the ear of his companion. "Oh, no!" returned Wilkinson. "Fact.

'Hout fie, Mr. Skreigh; I'se warrant I hae heard you sing a blythe sang on Saturday at e'en before now. But as for the chaise, Deacon, it hasna been out of the coach-house since Mrs.
Miss Ingate's lower lip dropped at the corners. "You've had a tiff." "Winnie, we haven't." "Did you go to all his concerts?" "All. I heard all his practising, and I sat in the stalls at all his concerts. Quite contrary to my principles, of course. But, Winnie, it's very queer, I wanted to do it. So naturally I did it. We've never been apart until now."

"They may be the best calculators in the world for what I care," answered the first mate, roughly; "but I will back Jonas Scoones to take a ship round the world with any man alive, so do not trouble yourself on that point, Captain Aggett. You and I have never had a tiff while we have sailed together, and I do not want to have one now, so I'll say no more about the matter."
"Take it as a warning," Jasper says, but Edwin, puzzled, and full of confiding tenderness, does not understand. In the next scene we meet the school-girl, Rosa, who takes a walk and has a tiff with Edwin.
