You can't get him mad by teasin' him, 'cause he won't tease. He generally comes right back at me about er that is " "About what?" "Oh nothin'. Just nonsense, that's all. Well, I cal'late I'd better be goin' if I want to fetch the postoffice afore it's shut up." But he was destined not to "fetch" the postoffice that night. He had risen to go when the dining-room door opened and Emily appeared.
I was for his gittin' married same as me, when we had enough cash. I use to think of that when he was ten, and when he was eighteen I spoke to him about it; but he wouldn't listen jest laughed at me. You remember how Clint used to laugh sort of low and teasin' like you remember that laugh o' Clint's, don't you?"
"She won't be satisfied till you do. She'll keep coming back to it." "Well, mother," said Jeff, still with something of his hardy amusement, "I hadn't been acting just right, and I thought I'd better tell Cynthy." "You better let the child alone. If I ever catch you teasin' them children again, I'll make Jackson shoot Fox." "All right, mother," said Jeff. She moved herself restively in bed.
"I sha'n't tell you one thing, and there is no use in your teasin'," he said, peremptorily, and she yielded. Elmira reported that their mother was sitting still in her rocking-chair, with her head leaning back and her eyes shut. "She seems all beat out," she said, pitifully; "she don't tell me to do a thing." The two tiptoed across the entry and stood in the kitchen door, looking at poor Ann.
Others 'd see you dressed like a princess, and not be satisfied. They vary so, the teasin' creatures! But one and all, whether they likes it or not, owns a woman's the better for bein' dressed in the fashion. What do grieve me to my insidest heart, it is your bonnet.
"General Washington, as a compliment to the French, has decided that their guns shall fire the first shot." A growl came from the captain of the nearest cannon. "I promised the old gal," he muttered discontentedly, his hand on his thirty-two pounder, "that she should begin it, an' she's sighted to knock over that twelve pounder that 's been teasin' us, or may I never fire gun agin."
I'm fair beat wi' Seth, for I've been teasin' him iver sin' we've been workin' together, an' he bears me no more malice nor a lamb. An' he's a stout-hearted feller too, for when we saw the old tree all afire a-comin' across the fields one night, an' we thought as it war a boguy, Seth made no more ado, but he up to't as bold as a constable.
"Zelotes has always talked about writin' folks and poets starvin' in garrets. If you went up attic to work he'd be teasin' me from mornin' to night. Besides, you'd freeze up there, if the smell of moth-balls didn't choke you first. No, you wait; I've got a notion. There's that old table desk of Zelotes' in the settin' room. He don't hardly ever use it nowadays.
"You remember them old dresses we wore no classy bathin'-suits then but my the mornings used to smell good! That path to the shore was all wild roses and we used to find blueberries in them woods. Us girls was always teasin' Hetty, her bathin'-dress was white muslin and when it was wet it stuck to her all over, she showed through my, how we'd laugh, but yet for all," concluded Mrs.
Atwell. "And I'll give him such a goin' ova, for his teasin', as he ain't had in one while. He just said it to tease. What you goin' to say to Mrs. Milray?" "Oh, tell her I'm not a bit well, Mrs. Atwell! My head does ache, truly." "Why, listen," said Mrs. Atwell, recklessly.
