But these pictures rather teased than pleased us, because in war days only the army enters palace or park. Brian was luckier than the rest of us! He had been through the château and forgotten nothing. Best of all he had liked the bedchamber of Marie Antoinette, said to be haunted by her ghost, in hunting dress with a large hat and drooping plume.
If she don't beat the Dutch!" "This is a jelly-making scheme," returned Peace, with comical dignity. "There is no money in it." "Oh! Well, don't you know that raspberries are expensive?" "Most people's are, but you never paid any 'tention to yours, so I thought you would be glad to get rid of them for little or nothing." "Oho!" he teased. "Begging again!" "I'm not!" Peace denied hotly.
Besides the fish, there was a turtle in the hogshead, and he had a broad chip that he liked to sun himself on. It was fun to watch him resting on this chip, with his nose barely poked out of his shell, and his eyes, with the skin dropped over them, just showing. He had some tricks: he would snap at a stick if you teased him with it, and would let you lift him up by it.
Cowley introduced the Pindaric ode, a highly artificial form of the lyric, in which the language was tortured into a kind of spurious grandeur, and the meter teased into a sound and fury, signifying nothing. Cowley's Pindarics were filled with something which passed for fire, but has now utterly gone out. Nevertheless, the fashion spread, and "he who could do nothing else," said Dr.
Tib was my dog. If he hadn't been my dog Papa wouldn't have teased him, and Mamma wouldn't have sent him back to Aunt Charlotte, and Aunt Charlotte wouldn't have let him be run over." "Yes. But what did you say to your Papa?" "I said I wish Tib had bitten him. So I do. And Mark said it would have served him jolly well right." "So it would," said Mark. Roddy had turned his back on them.
She lifted her face, flushed and exquisite, to Peter Morrison and answered in a breathless undertone, yet John had distinctly heard her: "How wonderful it would be if we were at your house. Oh, I envy the woman who shares this with you!" It had not been anything in particular, yet all day it had teased John Gilman's sensibilities.
Yuki San was the same little bundle of charm he remembered of old, with her innocence untouched, and a heart whose depths had never yet been stirred. He teased her, and taught her, and played with her, as he would have played with a merry child. Naturally gentle and affectionate, he unconsciously swept Yuki San to the borderland of that golden world where to awaken alone is agony.
When the last lesson was over, Gregorics was waiting at the gate, and the delighted boy would run and join him though his comrades, who, one would have thought, would have had enough to occupy their thoughts elsewhere, teased him about the old man.
Never once, I believe, did she tell her faithfully of her faults, explain the evil of such habits, and show the results which must thence ensue. Surveillance must work the whole cure. It failed of course. Desiree was kept in some measure from the servants, but she teased and pillaged her mamma instead.
Like other children of his age Jasmin teased her; and now, after more than thirty years, he proposed to atone for his childish folly by converting her sad story into a still sadder poem. Martha the Innocent is a charming poem, full of grace, harmony, and beauty. Jasmin often recited it, and drew tears from many eyes. In the introduction he related his own part in her history.
