Gartney smiled, and Faith could not help laughing outright. Hendie burst into a passion of tears. "Everybody keeps plaguing me! It's too bad!" he cried, with tumultuous sobs. Faith checked her laughter instantly. She took the indignant little fellow on her lap, in despite of some slight, implacable struggle on his part, and kissed his pouting lips. "No, indeed, Hendie!
Could nothing lift the curse of folly from me, that I must ever be a Fool, and worse, the sport of other fools? It was there on one of the terraces crowning the splendid heights above immortal Rome that Messer Gianluca found me. He greeted me courteously; I answered with a snarl, deeming him come to pursue the plaguing from which I had fled.
No idiotic pranks for the sake of a half-dying old man, and I stood and felt as delightfully hard as a flint. The little urchins did not cease their plaguing; it amused them that the old chap could not hold his head quiet, and they aimed at his eyes and nostrils. He stared at them with a ludicrous expression; he said nothing, and could not stir his arms.
But instead of plaguing you with an endless enumeration of my difficulties, I had better tell you some of the passages which gave me, ignoramus as I am, peculiar pleasure.... I am afraid I shall transcribe your whole book if I go on to tell you all that has struck me, and you would not thank me for that you, who have so little vanity, and so much to do better with your time than to read my ignorant admiration.
Bartholomew's rectory, and you and Carrie would never have been in the world plaguing your relatives." "Well, you see we are in the world," said poor Elma, who felt that she must just show the faintest spark of spirit. "We did not ask to be born," she added, "so I don't see that we are to be blamed." Mrs. Steward favored her with a sharp glance.
"Come down to the spring with me," she said. As soon as they were out of sight of the house, Emily began abruptly. "If you don't know why Lynde is acting so, I can't tell you, for I don't know either. I don't even know if she is angry. I only thought perhaps she was that you had done or said something to vex her plaguing her to go to church maybe. But if you didn't, it may not be anger at all.
Hiding her face in her hands, Mary burst into a passionate fit of weeping, then snatching the bonnet from George's lap, she threw it on her head and was hurrying away, when George caught her and pulling her back, said, "Forgive me, Mary. I couldn't help plaguing you a little, but I'll try and not do it again."
I scarcely ever come home at night that Marget doesn't come complaining of the boy for plaguing the younger children. She wants me to punish him, but when the little fellow stands up before me, and looks straight into my eyes with such a look of his mother about him, I cannot bring myself to strike him.
He had first of all made a wax image representing a cockroach scorpion centipede, or whatever other species came into his mind. Then, placing the image he had made in front of him, and repeating the prayer he had learned from the Unknown, through the medium of Mrs. Anderson-Waite's table, he had concentrated body, soul, and spirit on plaguing Gladys with the insect, which the image represented.
Redmain still stared in her face. "Now what is it you've got in your head?" he said at last. "I have been watching you think for three minutes and a half, I do believe. Come, out with it!" "Hardly think, sir," answered Mary. "I was only plaguing myself between my recollection of the stone and the actual look of it. It is so annoying to find what seemed a clear recollection prove a deceitful one!
