Hugh started in without delay feeding them some of what the boys were pleased to denominate his "teasers." He soon had them hitting at thin air with might and main, and looking surprised because they failed to connect. One man, then two, went out on strikes, and neither had touched the elusive "fade-away" ball made famous by Christy Matthewson in his prime.
'There's some difference, says Robin, 'between desiring me to explain it, and telling me she did not believe it. 'Well, but, son, says the old lady, 'if you are disposed to let us into the mystery of it, what were these hard conditions? 'Yes, madam, says Robin, 'I had done it before now, if the teasers here had not worried my by way of interruption.
This astounded us. That swordfish had taken my bait. I felt his first pull. Then he had come toward the boat, crushing the bait off the hook, without making even a twitch on the slack line. It was heartbreaking. But we could not have done any different. Dan decided the fish had come after the teasers. This experience taught us exceeding respect for the broadbill.
I have not forgotten that I owe you a little account; but you are the only man of soul in this Gehenna except myself, and I'd rather owe you ten dollars than any other man living." Keith's manner more than his words shut up most of his teasers. Nothing would shut up J. Quincy Plume. Keith always treated Terpsichore with all the politeness he would have shown to any lady.
"Good Lord, he nearly had him first ball." Fluff's brother bowled slows of a good length, with an awkward break from the off to the leg. "Teasers," said the Caterpillar, critically. "Hullo! No, my young friend, that may do well enough in Shropshire, not here." A ball breaking sharply from the off had struck the batsman's pad; he had stepped in front of his wicket to cut it.
The baffling part of the new schoolmate was that her powers of acting were so highly developed that it was impossible to tell whether she was serious or playing a part. She "took in" her teasers times out of number, and in fairness they deserved all they got. Towards the end of the first week she came into the intermediate room one morning fondling a letter. "From Paris," she vouchsafed.
Neither had touched the beast, but they kept it constantly striving to get at them. Though it swam in circles attempting to face its teasers, the dragon did not abandon the level before Ross's refuge, and now and then it darted its head at him, unwilling to give up its prey.
I just feel it in my bones they've been waiting to lambast my offerings then, for I've seen them talking together, and laughing, as though they had a game laid out. You go in and feed them those teasers of yours. The boys will take a brace in batting, if you can hold Allandale; and in the end it may not be such a terrible calamity after all." Hugh knew it must be.
