At last Tabitha stood beside the pail with the dipper in her hand, but just as she lifted the big cup brimming over, someone behind her tweaked her long braid, and she heard Jerome's laughing voice saying, "'Tabby Catt, Tabby Catt, where have you been? 'I've been to London to see the queen. 'Tabby Catt, Tabby Catt, what saw you there? "
"Does he know of Letts' trying to force her to marry him?" asked Helen. "I've never told him. Possibly the girl has." "I think not," answered Helen, gravely. "He'd have mentioned it to me, I think!" As her brother passed Madelene, he tweaked her ear. "Just clear your pretty head of further worry, little kitten ... See?" Madelene caught his hand affectionately in hers.
My Silas was always silly about his nose. And we never had less than half-an-hour's making up. I wonder how Prudence has tweaked Mr. Grey I can't bring myself to call him Leslie, my dear." Prudence had reached her mother's side. The two old heads parted with guilty suddenness. "Oh, my dear," exclaimed Mrs. Malling, "how you did startle me."
In a mediaeval town every house was different, in a mediaeval cathedral no two pillars were alike, and in the dress of a mediaeval crowd was captured the colours of the rainbow. With an odd result. Men laughed at the devil in the freedom of their souls. They tweaked his tail on carven misericords, and in the mystery play he was invariably cast for the clown.
"We've had just the dearest visit, and we've been to the theater, to a big fair, to see a hall hung with beautiful pictures, and how we have enjoyed it all!" she said. "I'll do the entertaining to-morrow," said Rob. "I'll take you all to see something that will be no end of fun." "What will it be, Rob?" Vera asked, but Rob tweaked her curls, and laughed.
"Well, it comes to this, that we want all to share and share alike. Isn't that it, Top?" Jack tweaked the defiant tuft as he put the question, and Toppin laughed up at him and nodded. The most unfortunate effect of the whole incident was the bitterness which it revived in the day-scholars. It had almost seemed as if time was breaking down the wall of enmity which was so strong at the beginning.
Then the raven sharpened the gouge thing which he called his beak wheep-wheep upon a stone, as birds do, and tightened his feathers, as if almost visibly tucking up his sleeves for well, for the job. Then he tweaked Cob's tail, apparently just to see how much alive he was. But Cob did not move, beyond drawing one webbed leg the free one up under him.
"If it was just for wunst," she had begun, when Tishy tweaked her sleeve viciously and interpolated a rapid whisper, "It wont be; there'll be no ind to it if you begin humourin' them," so the sentence was badly dislocated. "She'll do a dale better widout any such thrash," Mrs. Patman concluded, and walked off to throw sods on the fire.
He had learnt that it was better to clench your teeth and not cry out when your ears were tweaked or your arm twisted, or an unexpected pin stuck into the soft part of your leg. But, inside him, there burned a fire of rage and hate unsuspected by his tormentors. It was not so much the pain, as the fact that they seemed to enjoy hurting him, that he could neither understand nor forgive.
Shelton seized it, wrung it hard, and muttered the word: "Grateful!" Again Mr. Dennant's eyebrows quivered as if they had been tweaked; he had been found out, and he disliked it.
