And it's dreadful and very, very cruel in you to bring them up here just to tease me, when you know I hate them so. Take it away! take it away! oh, do please take it away! And oh, do please go away yourself, and leave me with dear, darling Kitty. She never teases me. She is always kind." Girasole turned away once more, in fresh trouble. He had the stump carried off, and then he wandered away.
It was one of his inspired days; legends crowded to his lips as a whistle teases the mouth of a happy boy, his heart was brimming with tales of the bygones, his eyes were dark with dreams and that strange mournfulness that always haunted them when he spoke of long-ago romances.
I think she likes Joe better than she cares to admit see the touch of coquettishness where she says 'It will be precious, won't it? And how adorably she teases him in those four crosses marked 'These are from Fred. Gad, I'm jealous of Joe already! Fred. I think he's the older brother; probably recently left the 'varsity; a friend of Joe's, perhaps. Charlie is one of the younger brothers.

Up he comes again. He has learnt, from certain symptoms, that we are at last yielding to his blandishments. With his legs and especially with his palpi, or feelers, he teases the buxom gossip, who answers with curious skips and bounds. Gripping a thread with her front tarsi, or fingers, she turns, one after the other, a number of back somersaults, like those of an acrobat on the trapeze.
But in general, the average boy and girl needs a "daily exercise" which in most cases amounts to "nagging," and in the best hands is only saved from nagging by its absence of peevishness, and the patience with which it reminds and urges and teases into perfect observance.
"I should think so. Mopsy, or Ted, or Silver Tail could do just as well, I believe. Tom, won't you draw me a picture of my very own to keep? I wish you'd come up and do the kittens; won't you? I ask Robert every time he comes, but he just teases me." "I'll draw a kitten for you if you like," answered Tom readily, "but I can't promise to come up and do it."
But when one has selected with satisfaction perhaps a hundred and fifty titles, one begins to get into the potboiler class the written-to-order information book which may be guaranteed to kill all future interest in a subject treated in style so wooden and lifeless; the retold classic in which every semblance to the spirit of the original is lost, and the reading of which will give to the child that familiarity which will breed contempt for the work itself; the atrocious picture book modeled after the comic supplement and telling in hideous daubs of color and caricature of line the tale of the practical joker who torments animals, mocks at physical deformities, plays tricks on parents, teases the newlywed, ridicules good manners, whose whole aim, in short, is to provoke guffaws of laughter at the expense of someone's hurt body or spirit.
The pigs bother me a little in the spring, by rooting up the bones that I bury in the fields in the fall, but that is a small matter, and I try not to mind it. I get a great many bones here, and I should be glad if I had some poor, city dogs to help me eat them. I don't think bones are good for pigs. Then there is Mr. Harry's tame squirrel out in one of the barns that teases me considerably.
I called again the next morning, and introduced Mrs. , who, I believe, accompanied the ladies about town. This simplicity in Mr. 's manner puzzles and teases me; for, in spite of it, there was a sort of self-consciousness, as if he were being looked at, as if he were having his portrait taken. March 22d.
