"It was only one of the little tiffs that happen in the best families! Now, listen, Mason " "My dear lady, I live but on the chance of being permitted to listen to you only in the hope that I may listen early and often " "Oh, hush! What a silly you are!" "Silly, is it? Remember I was your childhood playmate. Would you have kept me on your string all these years if I were silly?
I remember papa and mamma making-up their little tiffs, and they seemed to be very happy about it and to love each other ever so much better for the tiff and the make-up. I think we must have little quarrels, Sunna; and then, long, long, happy makings-up." "Very well, Eric; only, thou must make the quarrel. With thee I could not quarrel."
She said she did not doubt that to be in love was a liberal education, but pedantry was uninteresting. Latin might be convenient at this stage; but later on, for little tiffs and reconciliations, French would be much more useful. One of these letters southward described a wedding.
He was respectably connected, and looked down on "the Jew-boy," but he was hot-tempered, and rather slow-witted, and I think Moses could manage him; and I think it was he who kept their constant "tiffs" from coming to real quarrels. One day, very soon after I began office-life, Benson sent me out to get him some fancy notepaper, and when I came back I saw the red-haired Mr.
Yet even on the straitest view, we can make some steps towards comprehension of our own superior thoughts. For it is an incredible and most bewildering fact that a man, through life, is on variable terms with himself; he is aware of tiffs and reconciliations; the intimacy is at times almost suspended, at times it is renewed again with joy.
"Well," said Headingly, with his slow, deliberate manner, "I won't say that we have not our tiffs, and there are some of our people mostly of Irish stock who are always mad with England; but the most of us have a kindly thought for the mother country. You see they may be aggravating folk sometimes, but after all they are our own folk, and we can't wipe that off the slate."
Henderson's selfishness was fully developed, and I could see that he was growing more and more hard. Would Margaret not have felt it, if she also had not been growing hard, and accustomed to regard the world in his unbelieving way? No, there was sharpness occasionally between them, tiffs and disagreements.
Nelly's eyes were closed for weeks well-nigh for ever and the skin peeled off her face; but she consented to the cruel punishment without a murmur after the first shriek of agony, and won Tom to good temper and tolerance of her vanity by all sorts of happy concessions. How many such tiffs tough and smart has poor Nelly borne?
All we learn from subsequent allusions is that, together with a good deal of billing and cooing, more sustained on the novelist's side, there were some lovers' tiffs, followed by reconciliations. Apparently the friction was mainly caused by Eve's evasiveness on the subject of their marriage.
I don't know in the least what made me do it, and I wish I hadn't. Miss Peck stood aghast, but presently smiled in a relieved manner. 'Oh, nonsense, my love only a lover's tiff. When it blows over, you will be happier than ever. 'I don't like tiffs, Gladys answered, as she ran up-stairs to take off her wraps.
