Will, Frank and Allen brought up the rear, carrying the small valises or suitcases the girls had packed. The little cavalcade passed Mollie's house, Mrs. Billette appearing at the window to wave another farewell. The twins were not in sight. "For which I am thankful they'd cry to come," said their sister, "and they are dreadful teases."
We all feel weak and easily tired, and an incessant hunger teases us, so it is no wonder if so large a space of this paper is occupied by stomach affairs. It has not been merely want of nice dishes, but real biting hunger and faintness. 24th January, 1867.
You may stay in this room when I am out, or go into the back room on this floor, where you can look out on the garden, and amuse yourself with the books and pictures till I come back. I am going out now, and at one o'clock Rosie will give you some dinner. Take no notice of her if she teases you. Mind me, and not the servants they are nothing."
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.
I missed him at first because he used to be so kind to me; but now I don't, because Mr Creyton, whom Harry left to manage Five-Bob, comes just as often as Harry used to, and is lots funnier. He brings me something nice every time. Uncle Jay-Jay teases me about him. Happy butterfly-natured Gertie! I envied her. With Gertie's letter came also one from grannie, with further mention of Harold Beecham.
Then they hold out their hands and you drop nickels and they fail to catch them and the sentry comes up and teases them by holding the money a few inches beyond their reach. They climb all over the crossbars in their anxiety to get the money and look like great monkeys.
When Paddy happens to be in a romping mood, and teases his sweetheart too much, she usually utters it with a countenance combating with smiles and frowns, while she stands in the act of pinning up her dishevelled hair; her cheeks, particularly the one next Paddy, deepened into a becoming blush. "Bad scran to you!" is another form seldom used in anger: it is the same as "Hard feeding to you!"
After supper, little Eddie Allgire teases his brother D. to tell him about Santa Claus. D. is cracking walnuts on a flat-iron held between his knees. "Is they any Santy Claus, D.?" "W'y, cert, they is. Who says not?" "Bunty Rogers says they ain't no sech a person."
But one day she complained to him of the sprite who carried the bow. "He is behaving badly," she said; "he teases me." "That surprises me," said the man, "and I am distressed to hear it; for at heart he is rather good and to you he is deeply attached. But how does he tease you, dear lady? What does he do?" "Oh, nothing," she answered, "and that is what annoys me.
If she took another, I'd send him after the first, and so on till one killed me." "And serve the wretches right." "Yes; but for my own sake I don't choose to marry a woman that loves any other man. So tell me the plain truth; come." Rose turned chill in her inside. "I have no lover," she stammered. "I have a young fool that comes and teases me: but it is no secret.
