Their meaning is, 'Does he take us grave and reverend seigniors, priests and prophets, to be babies just weaned, that he pesters us with these monotonous petty preachings, fit only for the nursery, which he calls his "message"? In verse 10, the original for 'precept upon precept, etc., is a series of short words, which may be taken as reproducing the 'babbling tones of the drunken mockers.
He's the best little worrier in the trade, Old Lame-Boy is. He just pesters folks into taking proper care of themselves. They get Certina, and we get their dollars. And they get their money's worth, too," he added as an afterthought for Hal's benefit, "for it's a mighty good thing to have your kidneys tonicked up at this time of year."
Olga, I say, haven't you the strength of mind to refuse him? If the brute pesters you, why don't you tell Nick?" Slowly Olga raised herself, quitting his support. "I've promised not to tell anyone," she said dully. "You mustn't know either." "But, my dear girl, something must be done," he objected. "You can't let him ride over you roughshod. You don't mean you can't mean to let him marry you?"
That big Matilda, who pesters you with comparisons and her real India shawls imported by the suite of the Russian ambassador, and her silver plate and her Russian prince, who to my mind is nothing but a humbug, won't have a word to say then. I consecrate to the adornment of your room all the 'Children' I shall get in the provinces." "Well, that's a pretty thing to say!" cried the florist.
The Pesters are a humbly lot. But I didn't think it out loud, and didn't ophold the law for feelin' so. I sez in pityin' tones, for I wuz truly sorry for Cassandra Keeler: "How did it end?" "It hain't ended," sez she, "it only took place a month ago and she has got her grit up and won't pay; and no knowin' how it will end; she lays there amoulderin'."
I don't do nothin' now but wash and iron, and if I have fifty towels I have one! But what pesters me most is the wide skirts I has to do up; Miss Canady wears a hoop bigger than an amberell. They say Miss Empress, who makes these things, lives in Paris, and I wish you'd put yourself out a little to see her, and ask her, for me, to quit sendin' over them fetched hoops. Thar aint no sense in it!
The truth is," he told Letty, "there's no use trying to live with a horn' toad. I've done my best. I've let him defame me to my face and degrade me before strangers, but he remains hostyle to every impulse in my being; he picks and pesters and poisons me a thousand times a day. And snore! My God! You ought to hear him at night." Strangely enough, Mr.
I cannot forget this letter. It disturbs and pesters my imagination. I supposed it to be from Edward, who has been at Bath; but my valet has just informed me he is returned. Perhaps it is from my sister; and if so, by its coming express, my mother is dead! I really fear it bodes me harm I am determined to rid myself of this painful suspense. I will therefore step to Grosvenor-street.
"As much as a friend cares to know?" She nodded, flushing, and dropped the subject. Cliffe's mouth still smiled, but his eyes studied her with a veiled and sinister intensity. "I have not seen the lady for a week," he resumed. "She pesters me with notes. I promised to go and see her in a new play to-morrow night, but " "Oh, go!" said Kitty "by all means go!" "'Ruy Blas' in Italian? I think not.
"Don't tech me with your foot ag'in, Sol Hyde, an' don't talk to me so highfalutin'. It's hard to git me mad, but when I do git mad I'm a lot wuss than Paul's friend, A-killus, 'cause I don't sulk in my tent, specially when I haven't got any. I jest rises up an' takes them that pesters me by the heels an' w'ar 'em out ag'in the trees." "You talk mighty big, Saplin'." "I'm feelin' big.
