These things were a great cross to Corot pere, and the dulness of the boy made the good father grow old before his time so the father alleged. Were the woes of parents written in books, the world would not be big enough to contain the books. Camille Corot was a failure he was big, fat, lazy, and tantalizingly good-natured.
There was a slightly puzzled expression on her face there was something tantalizingly familiar about that smile of his. She had met many a panthan they came and went, following the fighting of a world but she could not place this one. "From what country are you, Turan?" she asked suddenly. "Know you not, Tara of Helium," he countered, "that a panthan has no country?
The wolves looked around at one another jealously, but the record was as clean as their teeth. There had been no surreptitious captures. "Will they keep it up all night?" whispered Albert. "Can't say," replied Dick. "We'll just watch." All the wolves presently stopped leaping and crouched on the earth, staring straight up at the prizes which hung, as ever, most tantalizingly out of reach.
Then, under her supervision Billy enlarged and remodeled it and Billy's wife waved some sort of a fairy wand over it, for it became over night a lovely, story-book home. When everything was ready she had the unsightly willows cut, revealing a gently rising stretch of mossy sward ending in a cluster of old trees from which the cozy house peeped roguishly, tantalizingly.
Emeline, finishing her task, glanced over her shoulder at him. She did not know how tantalizingly her face, close and clear in skin texture as the petal of a lily, flashed out her dislike.

She went up to her sister's closed door, and shouted into the key-hole: "None of my children ever had bandy-legs!" Almost immediately the window of the front bedroom was flung up, and Mrs. Jacobs leant out of it waving what looked like an immense streamer.

The cat dodged through the rose paths and eluded Jims' eager hands, just keeping tantalizingly out of reach. Jims had forgotten everything except that he must catch the cat. He was full of a fearful joy, with an elfin delight running through it. He had escaped from the blue room and its ghosts; he was in his Garden of Spices; he had got the better of mean old Aunt Augusta.
This was the substance, and tantalizingly meagre. And the strong army of Sparta and her allies still tarried at the Isthmus instead of hasting to aid the pitiful handful at Thermopylæ. Therefore the old men wagged their heads, the altars were loaded with victims, and the women wept over their children. So ended the first day after news came of the fighting. The second was like it—only more tense.
"I'd be flattered to death to think a simple backwoods maiden could make such a profound impression on a young man from the city but it isn't so." She turned her head sidewise, like a saucy bird, regarding him with mock gravity, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. Mr. Thompson had a long arm and he stood close to her, tantalizingly close. She was smiling.
