"Put your hand on my reel," said R. C. It was almost too hot to bear touching. R. C. began winding in the long slack line. "Did you see that one?" he asked, grimly. "Not plain. But what I did see looked big." "Say, he was a whale!" R. C.'s flashing eyes showed he had warmed to the battle. In just ten minutes another swordfish was chasing the teasers.
"He's in a hole," said Copley. "I wonder how these people ever got a hit off you, Sang." The batter tried to steady himself. Two "teasers" he disdained, and then bit at a drop and was out, Sanger having fanned the first three men to face him; which seemed to justify the Barville spectators in breaking forth with their horns and bells at last, and they did so tumultuously.
"Giving me one of the noo brooms. One out o' the last dozen the long switchy ones. I could just cut the band, and make about three reg'lar teasers out of one broom." "What, birch-rods?" said Dan'l, with a sort of cast-iron knocker smile. "Yes," said Peter. "Mind? no, my lad, you may have two of 'em, and I should like to have the laying of it on." "Yah! would yer!" said Bob defiantly.
The grasshopper, they say, is a murderer, and, though the earwig is a perfect mother, other insects, such as the burying-beetle, have the reputation of parricides, But, dangerous or not, the insects are for the most part teasers and destroyers.
There's a name for this sort, perverted coquettes, 'teasers. The man of the world abominates them, they're beneath contempt; but Jerry No," he remarked with a shake of the head, "he wouldn't understand that." "And when he does?" "H m!" His manner added no encouragement. "It would serve her jolly well right," he muttered cryptically in a moment. "What?" I asked.
"But they are not always wishing for my things, just as I wish for theirs." "That is because they are not such 'teasers' as you are," her mother would reply. "You do not hear them from morning till night teasing for things they have not got." Another thing in Carrie troubled her mother very much. She used a great many extravagant phrases.
Help him to see that it is more truly a mark of superiority to help, to cheer, to do good, than to oppress and tease. Take time to habituate him in helpfulness. In dealing with teasing in the family, two other things are worth remembering: First, the teased must be taught the protective power of indifference. Teasers stop as soon as their barbs fail to wound; the fun ends there.
I always wondered why the swordfish appear more attracted to the teasers than to our hooked baits only a few yards back. I made the mistake to pull the teasers away from this swordfish. Then he left us. I was convinced, however, that this was to be R. C.'s day, and so, much to his amaze and annoyance, I put away my rod.
"This can't keep up. Something is going to happen." But my apprehension in no wise disturbed R. C. or Captain Dan. They proceeded to bait up again, to put out the teasers, to begin to troll; and then almost at once a greedy swordfish appeared, absolutely fearless and determined. R. C. hooked him. The first leap showed the Marlin to be the smallest of the day so far.
I have aspired to his method, but realize it is impossible for me. He goes out alone. Hence the name Lone Angler. He operates his motor-launch, rigs his tackle and bait and teasers, flies his kite, finds the fish, fights the one he hooks, and gaffs and hauls it aboard or releases it, all by himself.
