He came back later in the afternoon, and I was pleased to sell him the next week for a five-pound-note: it cost me about another ten to repair myself. "To this day I am chaffed about that pony, and the local temperance society made a lecture out of me. That's what comes of following advice." I sympathized with him. I have suffered from advice myself.
The day nurse, a tall, buxom New Zealand girl whom the general chaffed with sarcastic humor, and who gave back more than she got, went off duty with a cheery, "Good night, all!" and the night nurse took her place, and made a first visit to each bed. She was a dainty little woman with the complexion of a delicate rose and large, luminous eyes.
What a good dinner it was, and what a merry one! How Solon, who in a speckless white apron waited at table, grinned at the praises bestowed upon his cooking! How they all chaffed each other!
"When can I get a train for Ohadi?" The ticket seller smiled. "You can't get one." "But the map shows that a railroad runs there " "Ran there, you mean," chaffed the clerk. "The best you can do is get to Forks Creek and walk the rest of the way. That's a narrow-gauge line, and Clear Creek 's been on a rampage.

The Wolf, perceiving that he was being chaffed, went away and resumed his duties at the doors of the poor. Jupiter and the Birds Jupiter commanded all the birds to appear before him, so that he might choose the most beautiful to be their king.
"It doesn't matter, if your mother's clear about it." "Oh, but why make such an awful mystery of it, when I'm dying to know?" He talked about this, he chaffed her about it for the rest of his visit: he had at last found a topic after his own heart. If her mother considered that he might be the emblem of their redemption he was an engine of the most primitive construction.
The men hailed their friends from opposite sides of the house, and laughed and chaffed, and sang snatches of Royalist and other ballads. The women, who for the most part wore veils or masks, whispered together, flirted their fans, and returned without reserve the salutations that were offered them.
They chaffed him unmercifully about his purchases of clouded titles in water lots, and he answered them in kind, aware of Neil's sardonically humorous eye fixed on him. But at the first bars of the next dance he bolted in search of Mrs. Morrell, with whom, he remembered, he had this number. Mrs.
