If you would only just say that we were never counted wild, idle, quarrelsome fellows, to your knowledge. Will you?" "How can I do that?" said Frank: "or how could I be believed, if I did, when it is so well known in the country forgive me; at such a time as this I cannot mean to taunt you: but it is well known in the country that you were called Wild Will, Bullying Bob, and Idle Isaac."
For those who understand that all social liberty rests upon restraint, that restraint of one man in one respect is the condition of the freedom of other men in that respect, the taunt has no meaning whatever.
But now I am going, as I said, on this journey. I must go as a passenger, since ye will not lend me a ship." Many a scornful face was turned upon him, and many a taunt aimed at him, as he uttered these bold words. "We are all undone!" cried one in pretended alarm, "Telemachus is gone to gather an army in Pylos or in Sparta, and he will come back with his mighty men and take all our lives."
Her face hardened. The old sway of evil passion reasserted itself. "She shall never come back here never. Oh, she was a sweet-spoken cat of a thing but she had claws. I've been blamed for all the trouble. But if ever I had a chance, I'd tell that minister how she used to twit and taunt me in that sugary way of hers how she schemed and plotted against me as long as she could.
Big Medicine answered the taunt by a queer, twisted plunge which he had saved for the last. It brought Irish spread-eagling over his head, and it landed him fairly in the middle of Patsy's great pan of soft bread "sponge" and landed him upon his head into the bargain. Irish wriggled there a moment and came up absolutely unrecognizable and a good deal dazed.
"What secrets found you at our seigneury, monsieur?" I understood the taunt as though I were the common interrogation mark, the abuser of hospitality, the abominable Paul Pry. But I held my wits together. "Monsieur," said I, "I found the secret of all good life: a noble kindness to the unfortunate." There was a general laugh, led by Doltaire, a concerted influence on the young gentleman.
'That, said John, with a broad grin, 'was Grizzel chasing the humble-cow out of the close. Sampson coloured up to the eyes, not at the implied taunt, which he would never have discovered, or resented if he had, but at some idea which crossed his own mind.
But let's drop recrimination; I had no right to resent what you said after forcing you to say it, nor, in any case, to taunt you . . . I beg your pardon: there! for heaven's sake let's leave it at that." "Will you release me from my parole?" "Yes, and wish to heaven I'd never extracted it. I had no right to impose it on you or to hold you to it.
At one time it was resolved to set fire to the fort, and the squaws belonging to the allies were employed to collect combustibles. This, however, was abandoned, the Nez Perces being unwilling to destroy the robes and blankets, and other spoils of the enemy, which they felt sure would fall into their hands. The Indians, when fighting, are prone to taunt and revile each other.
And theorizing about it makes one's head go round. YALTA, March 27, 1894. Thanks for your letter. Though you do scare me in your letter saying you are soon going to die, though you do taunt me with having rejected you, yet thank you all the same; I know perfectly well you are not going to die, and that no one has rejected you. I am in Yalta and I am dreary, very dreary indeed.
