They are the greatest teases, always playing jokes on me; so I have fixed up these two turkey wishbones to get even with them this year. Do you suppose they can find anything worse-looking to give me?" She held up two grotesque figures of wishbone and wax, dressed like Dutch boys in baggy trousers and queer caps, and the girls shouted derisively.
She was under the impression that you were a professional model till the Morrows explained, and you had struck her as such a very good type that she remembered you and the whole episode. Gail was teasing you about it, as she teases every one. She has a provocative, half-mocking manner that she lets go too far sometimes. I'm not inclined to forgive her for tormenting my little girl."
She has that wonderful and invaluable knack in a woman, she never teases or worries; she just contrives to turn people round her little finger, without their knowing anything about it themselves. But now don't let us talk any more about Effie and me. I want to hear your news. How is Mrs. Harvey? How has she borne the death of her poor little baby?"
"And, after all," resumed Rose, smiling in her turn, "the young ladies in question are not so very awkward, as not to be able to sew up great sacks of coarse cloth though it may chafe their fingers a little." "So we had both the same thought, as usual; only I wished to surprise you, and waited till we were alone, to tell you my plan." "Yes, but there is something teases me." "What is that?"
"Every one of you little tads," he went on coolly, waving his hand at the gathered group, "is a skate who teases this little girl. And you older boys are skates for letting the little ones do it, the whole pack of you and I'm going to spank any little tadpole who does it hereafter, and I'm going to punch the head off any big one who allows it.
Each year, also, as soon as the dessert appeared, there was a demand that a certain older cousin tell the Judge West story. But the jest lay in the demand instead of in the story, for although there was a clamor of applause, the story was never told and it teases me forever.
"It is not so pressing. To-morrow will do. You see they leave town to-day. I must write to Dover. They will be there till Monday." "Shall I write for you, dear if it teases you?" Gwendolen did not speak immediately, but after sipping her coffee, answered brusquely, "Oh no, let it be; I will write to-morrow."
But Rochester is a man of the best English society, courted by wealth and rank, a man of cultivated tastes, of wide experience and refined habits, and lastly of most generous and heroic impulses and yet such a man swears at his people like a horse-dealer, teases and bullies his little governess, treats his adopted child like a dog, almost kicks his brother-in-law in his rages, plays shocking tricks with his governess at night, offers her marriage, and attempts to commit bigamy in his own parish with his living wife still under the same roof!
"Yes," said Holloway, "I know it teases him that I see plain enough, by his running so fast back to his form, like a hare there he is, squatting again: halloo! halloo! come, start again here," cried Holloway; "you have not done yet: bring me the bowl, halloo!" Howard did not at all enjoy the diversion of hunting the poor boy about in this manner, and he said, with some indignation,
"He teases us girls all the time, too, Mother! He put June bugs in my bed last night!" cried Alice. "Billy is certainly in all wrong just now," answered Mr. Lee with a twinkle in his eyes. "But do you think these fairs are quite the places for boys like Billy and Jim Archer alone?" asked Mrs. Lee with a troubled look. "He should have been home long ago! They must have ridden their wheels!"
