Amy raised the puff threateningly, and the badgered one continued hastily: "I was only going to say do be a nice little girl." "As if I were not always that!" retorted Amy, dabbing so liberally at the unfortunate member that Mollie sneezed, bumped over a rock in the road and nearly dashed the car against that long-threatening tree. "Oh, goodness!
After breakfast the family doctor called, and said that Henrietta was suffering from too close application to her art, and from steam heat in the alcoves. She must have rest. The poor, tired, perplexed girl, badgered with conflicting emotions, but resolved at last to escape from temptations that she could not resist effectually, received this verdict eagerly.
The Teuton method is far more effective and brutal. The man is not badgered, coaxed, and threatened in the hope of extorting a signed confession, but he is condemned to loneliness, silence and solitude amid a gloom which can be felt, and which within a short time eats into your very soul.
The shout of laughter which followed showed that nearly all had roused themselves for the finale, and the badgered performer of the music lost much of the real comfort of his night's rest by his fear of committing himself to a complete oblivion which might subject him to another chaffing bout from his companions.
But for a moment, the confused and badgered Roddy was incredulous; he had not dreamed that Penrod possessed such a sum. "Lemme take a look at that money!" he said. If at first there had been in Roddy's mind a little doubt about his present rights of ownership, he had talked himself out of it.

Attacked on front and flank, assailed by Sir Edward Carson and his gang and denounced by Mr Dillon and his faithful henchmen, deserted by Mr Balfour at the moment when his support was vital, Mr Wyndham weakly allowed himself to be badgered into disowning Home Rule, thus sealing his doom as a statesman and as potential leader of his own party.
And the Governor wished to make an example of him now, instantly, so promptly and so thoroughly that those who ran might read, in large type, that the attempt was not a success. He was young for a Governor thirty-six years old and it may be that care for the dignity of his office was not his only feeling on the subject. "I won't be badgered, you know," he said to the senior Senator of the State.
In 1861, the badgered President had so novel an application that he wrote the annexed note to facilitate its harvest: "To Major Ramsey: The lady bearer of this says she has two sons who want to work. Set them at it, if possible. Wanting to work is so rare a merit that it should be encouraged."
Look here, Strong perhaps you guess the story already the fact is, me and the Governor " "D , hold your tongue," shrieked out the baronet in a fury. "You shall have the money as soon as I can get it. I ain't made of money. I'm so pressed and badgered, I don't know where to turn. I shall go mad; by Jove, I shall. I wish I was dead, for I'm the most miserable brute alive. I say, Mr.
The Montenegrin army was, in fact, never quite demobilized, and the King badgered the Powers continually to order the withdrawal of the Turkish troops "which threatened his frontier." Great Britain realized that Montenegro was a spot which needed watching, and sent Count de Salis there as Minister. High time, too.
