The drive was on the whole a success, and so was the tea-drinking in the verandah, where Aunt Alice and little five-years old Basil became fast friends and mutual admirers; the Canon strolled out and was installed in the big, cushioned basket-chair that crackled under his weight; Blanche recounted Nuttie's successes, and her own tennis engagements for the week; Mark lay on a rug and teased her, and her dachshund; Nuttie listened to the family chatter as if it were a play, and May dispensed the cups, and looked grave and severe.
"Run along," jeered another; "you better go and play with the a-b-c boys at the schoolhouse." Master Sunshine could not bear to be teased; but neither had he the heart to turn away when Billy's eyes were following him so piteously. His mind was quite made up now, and his temper was rising fast.
Only pretending, however, for Patty kept interrupting her with nonsensical remarks, and Marian teased her by slowly sifting sand through her fingers onto the pages of the book. "I might as well try to read to a tribe of wild Indians as to you two girls," said Nan at last. "Don't you want your minds improved?"
"Alfred the Great, he is the plague of my life! if I am Atheling, men are to live for me, not I for them; and if you tease me any more, I will run away to Duke William in Rouen; Godfroi says I shall never be teased there!" So saying, already tired of hawk and lure, the child threw himself on the floor with the other children, and snatched the toys from their hands.
"That's all because you don't cultivate literary tastes," teased Muriel. "I do cultivate them," grinned Jerry. "I've read the dictionary through twice, without skipping a page!" "It must have been a pocket edition," murmured Marjorie. "Stop teasing me or I'll get cross and not come to your party," threatened Jerry. "You mean nothing could keep you away," laughed Irma. "You're right. Nothing could.
"You've got the devil's own temper, Lendicott dear," she teased, "and two or three other vices probably, and if rumor speaks the truth you've run a-muck more than once in your life, but there's one thing I will say for you, though it prove you a dear Stupid: you never were over-quick to suspect that any woman could possibly be in love with you!"
Bet suddenly jumped down from her perch on the cliff and said disgustedly: "Joy Evans, I think you are corrupting all of us with your silly ideas regarding boys. I love Bob and Phil and Paul Breckenridge and Tommy Sharpe just exactly the same, and I won't be teased about any one in particular." "Methinks thou dost protest too much, my dear!" exclaimed Joy tantalizingly.
If we went on, I suppose it would be the same... Anyway, for years you didn't worry much about me. Why now, Frank?" "A mystery," he teased in return. "Or perhaps because I considered Earth safe instinctively." But he was right in the first place. It was a mystery something to do with the startling news that she was on the way, that closer friendship was pending.
The old dappled cow was tame, for instance; and the Maltese cat, which came too close to Bart the year before and received a broken back for its carelessness, had been tame; and the brown horse with the white face and the dreary eyes was tame. They could be handled, and teased, and petted and bossed about at will. Other creatures were different.
"I've begun, and now I'll tell. At first I teased her for fun. Then I watched her to see how she bore everything so well. And while I was watching, I before I knew it I began to love her. You may talk, if you want to; but I shall never be anybody, if she won't have me!" "Stage coming!" said a little boy, running in. I took Rachel by the hand, and drew her with me into the porch.
