So every now and then it amuses me to run over in my auto to Louvain and stroll about there and watch 'im as 'e comes out for 'is promenade, pretendin' to be readin' a breviary or some holy book. I know it riles 'im.... "Well, but for high principles, 'e and I might 'a bin as 'appy as 'appy and 'ad a large family.
"There you are, hoggin' the curtain, as usual," Jerry protested. "I'll go his bail myself. I got him in trouble at Sheep Camp. I owe him " "I've known the boy longer than you have. Besides, I'm a family man; I know the anguish of a parent's heart " "Lay off that 'family' stuff," howled Mr. Quirk. "You know it riles me. I could of had as much of a family as you had if I'd wanted to.
Let's be off." "Watcher larfin' at, Mas'r Harry?" he said at last. "At you, Tom," I replied. "All right, Mas'r Harry," he replied in the most philosophical way, "larfin' don't cost nothing, and it's very pleasant, and it don't matter when it's them as you know; but when it comes to somebody you don't know, why then it riles." I turned serious on the instant.
"You didn't even show them to your parents or sister?" the girl asked in surprise, as she looked upon the first drawing presented to view. "Indeed I didn't. They'd only make fun of me if I did. I hate to be laughed at, don't you? It riles one all up." "It does sometimes," the girl acknowledged. "But, then, it is better not to mind what people say or do, but just go on with our work.
'You'll get on better without me, repeated Fulbert; then, with an effort, 'Look here. It isn't that I don't know you're a brick and all that, but somehow nothing riles me like your meddling with me. 'I know it, answered Felix. 'I wish I could have helped it; but what could be done, when there was nobody else?
Pye, alone, smarting from snub, ventured to ejaculate, "Pity save us!" as Sara slammed the door. For the next fortnight gossip and rumor held high carnival in Avonlea and Newbridge, and Mrs. Eben grew to dread the sight of a visitor. "They're bound to talk about the Baxter failure and criticize Lige," she deplored to Mrs. Jonas. "And it riles Sara up so terrible.
It allers kind o' riles me up with Mother Eve when I think on't. The women hain't no bisness to fret as they do, 'cause they sot this 'ere state o' things goin' in the fust place." "But, Sam, Aunt Lois and Aunt Nabby are both going over to Mis'. Mehitabel's to tea. Now, you just come over and eat supper with us and tell us a story, do."
"Yes, my Uncle Robert," I answered him without turning my eyes from his. "Well, then, here we are. I came to the side door so I wouldn't have to introduce you to any of the boys this morning, for we want to have a talk with the Governor before dinner and I don't dare keep Kizzie waiting. It riles her, and a riled woman burns up things: masters, husbands, cooking or worse. Come on."
I can't let 'em stay in the Regulars, 'cause they'll be for making all the army wildfire like 'em; I'll just draft 'em by theirselves, treat 'em different, and let 'em fire away. They've got good stuff in 'em, though too much of the curb riles 'em. Well, sir, she do that; and aren't the Zephyrs as fine a lot of fellows as any in the service?
We can prove he's a liar, in fact, he admits that, but, doggone it, he's as bow-legged as a barrel hoop, he's wall-eyed, and what little hair he's got is as black as the ace o' spades.

It ain't so much being called a liar that riles him; he's used to that.
