John had lifted his rifle to fire at the tapir. "Hold!" said the recluse; "let the victor go; he deserves his liberty for having thus sagaciously liberated himself from his tormentor. Would that we could as easily get rid of ours! How eagerly we should seek the lower branches of the trees!" He gave one of those peculiar, sarcastic laughs, which I observed he was apt to indulge in.
The whole thing would have been a magnificent and unusual symbol of the triumph of paint over paper a new and vivid illustration of the practical value of true art." "Oh, nonsense, Charlie!" said Pelgram, much annoyed at being made the rather vulnerable subject of Wilkinson's humor. His tormentor was delighted at perceiving his victim writhe and went gayly on.
He rolled over with a groan of protest and looked at his tormentor. A gasp of dismay left his lips, for standing beside the bed, a half smile on her pointed face, was Copper looking fresh and alert and as disturbing as ever. It wasn't right, Kennon thought bitterly, to be awakened from a sound sleep by a naked humanoid who looked too human for comfort. "What are you doing here?" he demanded.
Will said directly. "You never heard a thing! You'd better look and see if the midnight visitors didn't steal your pajamas. Or they might have taken your pillow." Tommy threw a shoe at his tormentor and turned on the electric light. "Now that I'm awake," he said with a sly grin, "I think that I'll get myself something to eat. Seems to me I'm always hungry."
It grew darker and darker. Down there below feet passed and repassed in multitudes, like drops of the eternal cataract of life.

The harassed gentleman of the name of Malkin, driven to extremity by the worrying, stood in braced preparation for the English attitude of defence. His tormentor drew closer to him.
Madame received this message with indignation, and instead of making ready to obey, went in hot haste to the queen's reception room. "I wish to drive to Bertin's to make some purchases," said Marie Antoinette, as her tormentor appeared at the door. "That is impossible, your majesty," said the guardian of the inferno of etiquette.
By that time the other girls were all angry and upset, and that physics recitation was bound to go badly. When Jess was called on she rose with blazing cheeks and angry eyes to face their tormentor. Miss Carrington saw antagonism writ large upon Jess Morse's face. "I presume, Miss Morse, you think I cannot puzzle you?" said Miss Carrington in her very nastiest way.
