"The breaking of the egg may cut the fingers that have been sucked till their skin is gone. You have plagued me all along with your English hankerings, which in your post of trust are traitorous." Charron was accustomed to submit to the infinitely stronger will of Carne. Moreover, his sense of discipline often checked the speed of his temper.
'Why are you not in Scotland? she said after she had given him her hand. 'Lady Helen told me last week she expected you in Ross-shire. Directly the word left her mouth she felt she had given him an opening. And why had Nature plagued her with this trick of blushing? 'Because I am here! he said smiling, his keen dancing eyes looking down upon her. He was bronzed as she had never seen him.
He told no one outside the house, lest he should be plagued to exhibit it, but he could not help boasting of it to Netta and Anastasia. "That's what comes of having an eye! It's worth a thousand guineas of it's worth a penny. And those stupid idiots let me have it for twenty-two pounds!" "A thousand guineas!"
Henry's eyes opened wide in surprise, and he laughed before he knew it. "There! that's the way, Henry. If you do that they'll stop right off. There's no fun in plaguing a little boy that laughs." Henry laughed again and threw back his shoulders. Why, this was something new. This wasn't the way his mamma talked to him. She always said, "Mamma's boy is sick and mustn't be plagued."
But George rejected all amusements but the very one he wanted, and went instead into the nursery, where he plagued the younger children, took away their little toys, played with them so roughly, that he threw them on the floor, made them all fretful, and the maid so vexed, that she told him he had grown quite tiresome, and "that she panted for the time when he would be packed off to school again."
I never could have borne to go into public with her, you know: so I plagued my brother out of it; and luckily he found out that her jointure is not half so great as it was said to be." "I could have told him that. Mrs. Dutton's jointure is nothing nearly so large as mine was, even before the addition to it which my son so handsomely, and indeed unexpectedly, made to it this morning.
That same slender, adorable body had been pressed close to his, and he had trembled under the enchantment it held. He went away plagued and puzzled by an annoying question that kept on repeating itself without answer; was it in his power now to rouse the old flame in her blood, to revive the tender fires that once consumed her senses when he caressed her?
One day, the Japanese lady with the marked face and one of the nurses helped her to get out of bed. Her legs were trembling, and her feet were sorely plagued by pins and needles; but she held together somehow. Together they dressed her. The lady wrapped a big fur cloak round her; and with a supporter on either side she was led into the open air, where a beautiful motor-car was waiting.
"What is it now, Andy; more insurrectos?" he demanded, ready to manipulate the planes and strike for higher regions. "No, no, not this time," came the quick reply; "but Frank, as sure as you live, there's that plagued old biplane just rising up yonder a mile away. And somehow I seem to feel that it spells trouble for us." One hasty glance told Frank that there could be no mistake.
In a moonlight night, we see dogs and rats feeding at the same dunghill. Lisbon is plagued with a very small species of red ant, that swarm over everything in the house. Their remedy for this is, to send for the priest, and exorcise them. The drain from the new convent opens into the middle of the street. An English pigsty is cleaner than the metropolis of Portugal.
