Your sister is in despair, and so am I. Why do you torment us by staying on here in the heat, and taking all these engagements, which you know you are no more fit for than " "A sick grasshopper," laughed Hallin. "Healthy wretch! Did Heaven give you that sun-burn only that you might come home from Italy and twit us weaklings? Do you think I want to look as rombustious as you?
I could never get accustomed to them "Look at Levinsky standing there quiet as a kitten," the other peddlers would twit me. "One would think he is so innocent he doesn't know how to count two. Shy young fellows are the worst devils in the world." They were partly mistaken, during the first few weeks of our acquaintance, at least. For the last thread that bound me to chastity was still unbroken.
Graffam a good service, by persuading your neighbors to feel and to manifest some interest in himself and his family; ask them not to allow their children to call him 'Old Pete, 'Old toper, &c., and twit him of riding a high horse." "I will," replied friend Sliver, "and I will do anything else in my power to help thee."
Hamshaw to himself. "Hang it all, I wish I could decide between them! I think I'd look better with the short one, but " One day his nephew, young Jimmy Sprang, met him on the street and proceeded to twit him about his second childhood. "What do you mean, sir?" demanded Mr. Hamshaw with great dignity and a sinking heart. "Who are the fairies you're trotting " "Stop, sir!" thundered Mr. Hamshaw.
Max was very fond of the society of women, and at college we used to twit him about it, for he was always eager to meet a new face, trusting that the new one might be the ideal for which he was searching. "Well, you old Dutchman," said I, "have you ever found that ideal woman of yours?" "Bah!" lighting a pipe. "She will never be found.
"You seem to me to go a hundred miles out of your way to twit me with my poverty and my breeding. One would almost think you were anxious to convince me of the poverty of your breeding." "Oh, a thousand pardons!" ejaculated Peter, blushing violently. "But good heavens, old chap! There's your hot temper again. You surely wouldn't suspect me, of all people in the world, of meaning anything personal?
"He knows he did," broke in Lucy. "My papa lent me the watch." "She wasn't talking to you," remonstrated Jimmy. "Yes, auntie, I did wrong; but Lucy needn't twit me of it! I won't be characteristic any more as long as I live." Aunt Vi smiled and patted his head lovingly. "No, dear, I think you'll be more thoughtful in future. But now let us try to think what can be done to pay for the watch."
"John was wont to twit us with being akin to Gipsy Hal." "I mean a man sad and grave as the monks of Beaulieu," said the jester. "He!" they both cried. "No, indeed! He was foremost in all sports." "Ah!" cried Stephen, "mind you not, Ambrose, his teaching us leap-frog, and aye leaping over one of us himself, with the other in his arms?"
The linden-trees were in blossom; while the swallows flew here and there, crying, "Twit, twit, twit, my mate is coming," but it was not the fir-tree they meant. "Now I shall live," cried the tree, joyfully spreading out its branches; but alas! they were all withered and yellow, and it lay in a corner amongst weeds and nettles.
The feast was a great success. The dolls behaved irreproachably, with which their owner was rather inclined to twit Hugh, when, just at the end of the banquet, greatly to his satisfaction, a certain Mademoiselle Zéphyrine, a blonde with flaxen ringlets and turquoise blue eyes, suddenly toppled over, something having no doubt upset her equilibrium, and fell flat on her nose on the table.
