Don't yer wish yer may git it? and Lemuel, the irrepressible, waved it at her tantalisingly from the top of the tall hickory, where he had perched himself, like the monkey that he was. She saw the Boston post-mark, and stretched out her hands for it longingly. 'Bring it down, there's a dear boy. 'Not much! I bet Leander that I could make you mad, an' he bet his new jack-knife that I couldn't.
The most vivid and alluring visions of home, of my parents, and brothers, and sisters, flitted tantalisingly before me.
When he was married it was to a young lady of wealth and position in the North a very gay and, if I must say it, a particularly ah! unsatisfactory mistress of a home." "What could you expect of a Yankee wife?" asked young Garrison, tantalisingly. "They were different in those days," responded the grey old narrator, with a smile for his wife.
It can be read as long as steel will last. It is as effective for long distances as for short, and there is wire enough on one of these spools for thirty minutes of uninterrupted record." Craig continued to tinker tantalisingly with the machine.

Their forgetfulness was due to thoughts of failure previously nourished in the mind. The application of the will only made the disaster more complete. This explains the baffling experience of the drug-taker, the drunkard, the victim of some vicious craving.
The Roman chariots thundered and clattered around the outside of the ring, the audience cheered the winner of the race, and for the moment Polly was forgotten. THE blare of the circus band had been a sore temptation to Mandy Jones all afternoon and evening. Again and again it had dragged her from her work to the study window, from which she could see the wonders so tantalisingly near.

She seemed to be entertaining the young man. His big laugh and the silver music of her own lighter merriment rang out a little tantalisingly. "I wonder what Cora is saying," said Mrs.

It is a difficult and elusive method, but it presents us with many facets of character and is swift and secular.
