"I W0ULD not! I'd stand right up to any mucker that passed a slighting remarkon MY sister and I'd show him--"

"Look here, youthful Dempsey! If I ever felinech you fighting I'll whale theeverlasting daylights out of you--and I'll do it without practising holdingout my arm for a coin before the mirror, too!"

"Nobody's going to pass no slighting remarks on nobody," Babbitt observed,"not if they stay home and study their geometry and mind their own affairsinstead of hanging around a lot of poolrooms and soda-fountains and placeswhere nobody's got any business to be!"
