Allan; yet what a joy he found in the very dependence of this devoted, soft-eyed creature! Never would he taunt Comrade with his dependence upon charity. "No;" he said, his hands deep in the silky coat, "I would not insult a dog as he has insulted me! Never mind, Comrade, old fellow, we'll have our swim in the river tomorrow, and he may flog me again if he likes."
She leaned her head against the back and closed her eyes. The room swam. She was roused by the Senora's strong smelling-salts held for her to breathe, and a mocking taunt from the Senora's iciest voice: "The Senorita does not seem so over-strong as she did a few moments back!" Ramona tried to reason with herself; surely no ill could happen to her, in this room, within call of the whole house.
You'll grab it right away. Will you? Can you do it? Have you the nerve?" There was a taunt in the challenge. It was calculated. There was something else. The missionary's dark eyes were almost pleading. Bull seized the letter. He almost snatched it. "Will I do it? Can I do it? Have I the nerve?" he cried, in a tone of fierce exulting.
I am not as miserable as you may think, indeed, I am not as unhappy even now as yourself." "It's true, Richard, true," she replied, "and because I am unhappy I have come to ask your forgiveness if ever word or action, or taunt of mine caused you a moment's pain. I have suffered much since we parted, and my suffering has atoned for all my sin."
Who cares for that, so thou gain aught wider and nobler? Never mind the taunt of Boswellism: the devotion may easily be greater than the wretched pride which is guarding its own skirts. Be another: not thyself, but a Platonist; not a soul, but a Christian; not a naturalist, but a Cartesian; not a poet, but a Shakspearian.
"Keyork Arabian, do you think you can play upon me as on an instrument? Do you suppose that I will come and go at your word like a child or like a dog? Do you think you can taunt me at one moment, and flatter me the next, and find my humour always at your command?" The gnome-like little man looked down, made a sort of inclination of his short body, and laid his hand upon his heart.
But perhaps she dared not let herself believe him now: perhaps the strongest wish of her heart was to hurt him as deeply as she could. "To say the least," she said with a little deliberate movement of distaste, "your coincidences are unfortunate. You won't mind if I go on being grateful to the gear?" Under that crowning taunt, his self-restraint snapped like an overstretched bow-string.
He understood the remark as a triumphant and ironical taunt, and, leaping fiercely into the ring formed by the spectators, exclaimed: "I will cast the stone, but I must have a better man than thou, Kettle, to strive with. If Erling the Bold will throw " "I will not balk thee," interrupted the other quickly, as he laid down his axe and stepped up to the line. Glumm now made a cast.
He walked beside the jailer, his eyes glittering, his head uplifted. The Judge ordered the crowd to keep their seats until the prisoner was removed. In silence he marched through the throng without a hiss or a taunt. The day of the Great Deed was one never to be forgotten by Cook's little bride. They had been married six months. Each hour had bound the girl's heart in closer and sweeter bonds.
Men might tap their heads and smile. His own voice might argue and taunt. But deep in his heart he believed. Something of the radiance of the new day came into his face, even as it was returning into Yellow Bird's. He looked about him east, west, north and south upon the sunlit glory of water and earth, and suddenly he reached out his arms. "I'll find it, Yellow Bird," he cried.
