But she was a little too sure of herself and took too long deciding among the young men of this town, until all at once, she found that nobody wanted her. She's been trying ever since to show she doesn't care; and she pesters the life out of me twice a year trying to fit her out with a hat.
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.
She felt his hand tighten. For a moment she caught that gleam in his eyes which always disconcerted her. And then it was gone, even as his hand released hers. He turned back to the writing-table with his supercilious smile. "Because, fair lady," he said, "you have met your fate. If Hunt-Goring pesters you any further, of course you will let me know. Hadn't you better go now?
I'm so full of welcome I don't see how I'm going to keep it from bubbling over." "That's jest like you, Rose Mary, a-welcoming a whole passel of pesters that have deluged down on you at one time," said Uncle Tucker with a dubiously appreciative smile at Rose Mary's hospitable enthusiasm.
So then ah spoke 'em civil, and ah said, 'Well, lads, I dinna come fra Yorkshire to sit like a dummy and let you buy wi' my brass; the first that pesters me again ah'll just fell him on t' plaace, like a caulf, and ah'm not very sure he'll get up again in a hurry. So they dropped me like a hot potato; never pestered me again.
She was looking at him sympathetically. "Well, 't ain't the noise so much, I've heard the ocean roar, it's folks. Pesters me havin' 'em round so many on 'em." Her look changed to a little wonder. "I should think you would like to be with them. You help them." She spoke the words softly, almost shyly. The clear glow of her eyes rested on his face. The face showed no pride.
"Yes, and you're a-drawing on the estate for more'n your share of pesters, looks like," answered Uncle Tucker as he raised his eyes to hers wistfully. "Is it something about about the mortgage?" asked Rose Mary in the gently hushed tone that she always used in speaking of this ever couchant enemy of their peace.
"It only bothers you without doing any good. Don't you know that?" "Don't I, though!" he laughed, feebly. "I know it better'n anybody! How funny that is: when you know thinking about a thing only pesters you without helping anything at all, and yet you keep right on pestering yourself with it!" "But WHY?" she said. "What's the use when you know you haven't done anything wrong, Virgil?
"Gracious me, Uncle Tuck, who now?" demanded Rose Mary over a crock of milk she was expertly skimming with a thin, old, silver ladle. "Old White has hatched out a brood of sixteen, assorted black and white, that foolish bronze turkey hen just come out from under the woodpile with thirteen little pesters, Sniffer has got five pups three spots and two solids and Mrs.
When I have a headache, her eyes fill with tender concern, and she hovers about me and pesters me with pillows: when I am cross with her, she is afraid I am ill. When I die, and leave her a lot of money, she will howl for months, and say I don't want his money: 'I waw-waw-waw-waw-want my Uncle Philip, to love me, and scold me. One day she told me, with a sigh, I hadn't lectured her for a month.
