Then with a sharp knife she would cut down two rows of corn, and thus make a green pathway from the front kitchen steps to the road. Next, the false and insulting "To Let" sign would be forcibly tweaked from the tree and thrown into the grass. She would then lay the table in the kitchen, and make ready the nicest breakfast that two people ever sat down to.
"My dear," the girl's mother murmured back, when her comfortable laugh had gurgled itself out, "young folks must skit-skat and bicker, or where would be the making up? La, I'm sure when I was a girl I used to tweak my poor Silas's nose for the love of making him angry Silas had a long nose, my dear, as you may remember. Men hate to be tweaked, especially on their weak points.
Any of the other boys obstructing the fairy path at night they would have mischiefed, but they just tweaked Peter's nose and passed on. One of the first things Peter did next day was to measure Wendy and John and Michael for hollow trees.
Now Fieldsy has shown me what was the matter I hadn't flour enough. Fieldsy is a dear and so are you!" She plunged at Celia, brown bread and all, and kissed the top of her head, tweaked a lock of Captain Rayburn's thick hair, and was flying away when Celia spoke. "You're the biggest dear of anybody," she said, with a smile.
He approached her with the tongs; the next moment to ejaculate: "Begad, it's not a growth, it's a bustle!" and as he spoke he tweaked the place where a bustle used to be worn. Even Bob had to join in the ensuing boohoo, which went on and on till Laura thought the Uncle would fall down in a fit.

And all the time the fellow ground his teeth together and said nothing. It was poor Mekipiros. It was his mauled and bruised shape, his half-bestial face that they were torturing and tormenting.
Even Captain Claret they ought to have humiliated into deference. But a Scythian is touched with no reverential promptings; and, as the Roman student well knows, the august Senators themselves, seated in the Senate-house, on the majestic hill of the Capitol, had their holy beards tweaked by the insolent chief of the Goths.
Much of the work there was done long before the Christian era, and must have then been practised many centuries to bring it to such perfection. Young Tiziano from Cadore did not like the mere following of a set pattern he introduced variations of his own, and got his nose tweaked for trying to improve on a good thing.

Laurie enjoyed that immensely, and when she told about the prim old gentleman who came once to woo Aunt March, and in the middle of a fine speech, how Poll had tweaked his wig off to his great dismay, the boy lay back and laughed till the tears ran down his cheeks, and a maid popped her head in to see what was the matter. "Oh! That does me no end of good.
