He had been twitted more than once at Killaloe with his silence; for it had been conceived by his fellow-townsmen that he had been sent to Parliament on the special ground of his eloquence. They should twit him no more on his next return. He would speak and would carry the House with him if a human effort might prevail.
Miss Wycliffe jestingly proposed an illumination of the house; but her father's patience with her perversity was exhausted. Doubtless the triumph of the cause he hated intensified his emotion. Had the judge been elected, he could easily have been magnanimous, or could have twitted her with good humour.
She was naturally jealous of the letters he could forgive her for that; she had doubtless been twitted about them, but he could easily explain them to her parents as he would have done to her. But he was not such a fool as to elope with her at such a moment, without first clearing his character and knowing more of hers.
"It ain't goin' to be twitted abroad in Vienny nor any other town that we let you steal from outsiders in any such way as this," declared the first selectman, once on the ground. "Folks has allus cal'lated on your stealin' about so much here in town in the run of a year, and haven't made no great fuss about it.
Zachariah had been frequently twitted in joke by his profane companions in the printing-office upon his supposed belief in the delusion. It was their delight to assume that all the "pious ones," as they called them, were alike; and on the morning of the 30th of December, the day after Joanna expired, they were more than usually tormenting.

But the man was weak where the author was willing, and thus gay Richard went on "living so contrary a life" with true Celtic perversity, and made of himself anything but a Christian Hero. Rather was he a jolly Pagan, with a passion for his wine and his coffee-house, and a kindly, merry word even for those who twitted him upon his inconsistency.
He twitted me about it so that I declare I would have fought him, if I could have paid him first." "That's right," exclaimed Hugh. "Why, Holt, what a different fellow you are! You never used to talk of fighting." "But this fellow Meredith plagued me so! If it had not been for that shilling, I would have knocked him down.
"I'm going to duck the team and quit playing," protested Dick, "if Holmesy and I are to be twitted about being wonders." "But, honestly, Prescott" began Brayton, "you two are " "Average good Army men, I hope," interposed Dick. "Nothing more, I hope. At least. I speak for myself. If Holmesy wants to star " "I'll call you out, ramrod, if you carry the joke too far!" warned Greg.
A joyous cry arose from the hunters as they saw him running to and fro, working his arms to get up circulation. Noting Maisanguaq's scowling face, Ootah twitted him: "Laugh, friend Maisanguaq," he said, "for winter comes and then thy teeth will chatter." Maisanguaq scowled deeply Ootah's blithesome remarks filled him with rancor. "Peace, Maisanguaq.
All the way during our trip he teased his brother officers and twitted them with being so "shabbily dressed," while he would be such a "beaw ideal" in his new uniform when he met his wife. He had never met his wife since his honeymoon a year before, and then only with a twenty-one days' furlough, so it can be well imagined with what anticipations he looked forward to the meeting of his wife.
