c-h-a-i-r spell?"
"I don't know, marm."
"Why, you ignorant critter! What do you always sit on?"
"Oh, marm, I don't like to tell."
"What on earth is the matter with the gal?--tell what is it."
"I don't like to tell--it was Bill Crass's knee, but he never kissed me

"Airthquake and apple-sarse!" exclaimed the schoolmistress, and she
fainted.
