After taunting us, and peering at us, as long as they liked, they one by one subjected us to an examination, with a view to ascertain our value; feeling our arms and legs, and shaking us by the shoulders to see if we were sound and healthy; impudently asking us, "how we would like to have them for masters?"
Sitting up very straight on his gaunt haunches, he stretched his muzzle toward the taunting moon, and began to sound that long, dreadful gathering cry of his race. It was an unknown or a long-forgotten voice in those neighborhoods, but none who heard it needed to have it explained. In half a minute every dog in the settlement was howling, barking, or yelping, in rage or fear.
"This is quite a different meeting from the one Señorita Rodriguez had planned, isn't it?" she asked. There was a taunting curve on her scarlet lips; the shadow passed from her eyes; her slim, white hands lay idle in her lap. Mr. Grimm regarded her reflectively.
When I asked my blessed Iowaka to be my wife, she answered by running away from me, taunting me until I thought my heart had shriveled into a bit of salt blubber; but she came back to me before I had completely died, with her braids done up on the top of her head!" He stopped suddenly, startled into silence by the strange look that had come into the other's face.
Yet Sir Lancelot would make no war upon the king, and sent a message to gain peace on any terms King Arthur chose. But Sir Gawain met the herald ere he reached the king, and sent him back with taunting and bitter words. Whereat Sir Lancelot sorrowfully called his knights together and fortified the Castle of Benwicke, and there was shortly besieged by the army of King Arthur.
Always precious, such men; as precious now as any time. His rude, rasping, taunting, contradictory tones what ones are more wanted amid the supple, polish'd, money worshipping, Jesus-and-Judas-equalizing, suffrage-sovereignty echoes of current America?
Yet Valden was only resorting to tricks as old as the police themselves -the taunting of a prisoner into talking too much and thereby betraying his guilt. "Pardon me, Tag," Dick now interposed, "but it's a principle of law that a prisoner doesn't have to talk unless he wants to. I don't believe, if I were you, I'd say anything just now."
They were furiously disappointed at not having finished Hellgum, and, as they turned to go, one of them ran back, pounced upon Ingmar, and stabbed him in the neck. "That's for meddling with our affair!" he shouted. Ingmar sank down, and the man ran off, with a taunting laugh.
"It is you who lie!" returned Judith, with increased fury, "that was my proposal." "Hold your tongue, you she-devil," cried Chowles, "it is you who have brought me into this strait and if you do not cease taunting me, I will silence you for ever." "Coward and fool!" cried Judith, "I will at least have the satisfaction of seeing you die before me."
"You see," said the virtuoso rising, "that Liszt can be Chopin when he likes; but could Chopin be Liszt?" Instead of commenting on the improbability of a generous artist thus cruelly taunting his sensitive rival, I shall simply say that Liszt had not the slightest recollection of ever having imitated Chopin's playing in a darkened room.
