"Take that, my mannie," he said.

"I'll be showin' you aboot that, mannie.

THE MANNIE MANEEPULATES THE BLACK AN' WHITE NOTES WI' EQUAL FACEELITY.

I had a London agent by that time, a mannie who booked engagements for me in the provinces.

"And what thousand dollars wi' that be, my mannie?"

There was an eloquence to that waiting, laid-out table, the print of the family already gathered about it; the dynastic high chair, throne of each succeeding Kantor; an armchair drawn up before the paternal moustache-cup; the ordinary kitchen chair of Mannie Kantor, who spilled things, an oilcloth sort of bib dangling from its back; the little chair of Leon Kantor, cushioned in an old family album that raised his chin above the table.

You remember, Abrahm, how I predicted it to you thenhow our Mannie would be born too soon andand not right from my suffering?

Haven't I learned it to you often enough a slummer must pay for her nosiness?" There entered then, on poor shuffling feet, Mannie Kantor so marred in the mysterious and ceramic process of life that the brain and the soul had stayed back sooner than inhabit him.

At sight of Mannie, Leon Kantor, the tears still wetly and dirtily down his cheeks, left off his black, fierce-eyed stare of waiting long enough to smile, darkly, it is true, but sweetly.

And then Mannie, true to habit, would scamper and scamper.

The one that always makes poor Mannie laugh.

Even Mannie should have his share of good-bye." To Gina Berg: "They want me to play that little setting of mine of Allan Seeger's poem, 'I have a rendezvous.'

Mannie should have too his good-bye."

The poor mute face of Mannie, laughing softly.

"Do not be afraid, mannie," she said, laying down the axe on the stock of the couch, against which its broad red blade and glass-clear cutting edge made an irregular patch of light.

I shall not hurt you indeed, mannie, and I want to talk to you.

"I am not a little girl, remember, mannie," she said, "I am a Princess and a great lady.

"Has it ever occurred to you, my mannie, what would happen tae the Englishif Scotland was tae make a separate peace?"

No, my sweet mannie, it doesn't hurt a bit.

Thus it was very common to speak of a person whom you meant rather to undervalue, as a mannie, a boddie, a bit boddie, or a wee bit mannie.
