"Perhaps my faults lie in another direction; and how much credit do people deserve for refraining from doing what they feel no temptation to do?" said Evelyn, with an arch look and smile directed toward Lulu.

To make sure of Letty and her secret, partly also in pure delight of mischief, and enjoyment of the power to tease, she stole down stairs, and locked the kitchen door the bolt of which, for reasons of her own, she kept well oiled; then sat down in an old rocking-chair, and waited I can not say watched, for she fell fast asleep.
"Oh, yes," said Jack, "I forgot that. I am the Preserver of Enough Oil in the Beatrice Stove." "I am proud to meet such important personages," said Mr. MacAngus. "And now, lastly, you," he said to Gregory, "the little nipper, the tiny tot of the party." Gregory was furious. He scowled at the artist like thunder. "Go on," said Mr. MacAngus; "don't mind me. I always tease little important boys."
"She didn't believe he would keep his word, but he did at first, and he tried not to tease her in any way.

I'll pack my own stuff. You can leave yours here for all I care," laughed the fat boy, sauntering to his tent without the least attempt to hurry. "Don't tease him so," advised Tad in a low voice.

"Benny does tease me, but I should be nowhere without him." "Ruth! you seemed greatly tried just now. Think what you are going to say." "Oh, of course he must stay, father. Why, the child is the life of the house. We are all so humdrum and mopy, I don't know what we should do without Benny to keep us moving." "Mary, daughter not that I need your answer, my dear."

He ceased to look on the bird, and again traversed the apartment. Then taking another small piece of raw meat from the trencher, on which it was placed ready cut for his use, he began once again to tempt and tease the bird, by offering and withdrawing it, until he awakened its wild and bold disposition.
Nobody knows we are writing to you, not even our father; nor will we ever tease you again if you will only give us an answer just for FUN, now do!
