I was amused by considering with how much ease and coolness he could write or talk to a friend, exhorting him not to suppose that happiness was not to be found as well in other places as in London ; when he himself was at all times sensible of its being, comparatively speaking, a heaven upon earth . The truth is, that by those who from sagacity, attention, and experience, have learnt the full advantage of London, its preeminence over every other place, not only for variety of enjoyment, but for comfort, will be felt with a philosophical exultation . The freedom from remark and petty censure, with which life may be passed there, is a circumstance which a man who knows the teazing restraint of a narrow circle must relish highly.
'The old man, he said, reminds me of a fierce old owl followed by a flight of small teazing birds, and Nebenchari looks as if he had a scolding wife, who will some day or other reward him for healing other people's eyes by scratching out his own!" "Shameful!" said the old man, and burst into a flood of execrations. Nebenchari had been listening to his servant's tale in silence and thought.
Crabbe's Tales are more readable than his Poems; but in proportion as the interest increases, they become more oppressive. They turn, one and all, upon the same sort of teazing, helpless, mechanical, unimaginative distress; and though it is not easy to lay them down, you never wish to take them up again.
"I cannot certify that they were his words," replied Briquet, who seemed to take a pleasure in teazing the cavalier. "Well, then, those they attribute to him." "They assert that he has confessed that he conspired for M. de Guise." "Against the king, of course?" "No; against the Duc d'Anjou." "If he confessed that " "Well?" "Well, he is a poltroon!" said the cavalier, frowning.
A sick child is always the mother's property: her own feelings generally make it so." "I hope I am as fond of my child as any mother, but I do not know that I am of any more use in the sick-room than Charles, for I cannot be always scolding and teazing the poor child when it is ill; and you saw, this morning, that if I told him to keep quiet, he was sure to begin kicking about.
'Helen is only a little cross, she will be better presently, said Dora, in so comical a tone, that Rupert, Katherine, and Harriet all laughed, and Helen said sharply, 'Dora, do not be pert. Rupert was really a very good-natured youth, but it would have required more forbearance than he possessed, to abstain from teazing so tempting a subject as poor Helen was at this moment.
Du Meresq was teazing his nieces, and did not add much to the general conversation, but the others made up for it, and, when they addressed Bluebell, did so in a particularly cheery tone, as to a nervous, fanciful girl, not to be encouraged or noticed in her blue fits.

Arnold was sarcastic in the highest degree, and her expression was scornful as well. "And I suppose the forty thousand will assist materially in giving a little more cheek," said Hubert, laughing. "You may bless your stars that it did not arrive a twelve-month ago," said Mrs. Arnold, in a teazing manner that was not at all acceptable to her companion.
As for myself, who know no stories, and do not possess the talent of improving them by telling, if I did know any, I was often greatly embarrassed when she desired me to tell her one: 'I do not know one, indeed, said I, one day, when she was teazing me on the subject. 'Invent one, then, said she.
