Alzura was in high spirits. He loved fun of all kinds, and this ball was just to his taste. Plaza and Cordova shared our carriage, and both of them rallied me on my glum looks. "Crawford's a bloodthirsty fellow," cried Alzura banteringly "never happy unless he's fighting!" "That's a libel!" said I warmly; "I'm sick of the whole thing. When this war's over, I hope never to hear a shot fired again."
"To think that Benjamin Franklin brought down lightning with a key and Nathaniel has made a key out of lightening!" she thought facetiously. She smiled and reprimanded him banteringly. "Well, Adagio, you didn't tell me what you wanted to be or I would have bought a costume." "I don't want to BE anything. Trick or treating is for kids and I don't want any of that stuff anymore."
Both horses had good foot and the road was excellent, though the night was dusky. Before we had gone half a mile we were going at top speed. When we reached the end of the hard road he was a little ahead, and I banteringly called to him to 'repeat. He wheeled at once, and away we went like the wind. From turning behind, I had a little the start, and kept it.
She will love it, once the picture is under way. It is the beginning of it that disturbs her. Isn't that always the way?" "I am afraid you don't know women," said he banteringly. "By the way, have you been able to recall where you first saw her, or is your memory still a blank?" she asked suddenly. "I can't think where it was or when," said he, "but I am absolutely positive I've seen her before.
I had never met such boys before. That an American school-boy should read Talmud seemed a joke to me. I could not take Rubie's holy studies seriously. As we now sat at the table I banteringly asked him about the last page he had read.
"Let me see your new 'Open Sesame. Is it ready?" "No, no, Sophie," he said banteringly. "You know you mean you want to see your namesake's letter." "That is not my concern." "O Countess!" He tendered the letter. "Hum," she said, casting a rapid eye over it. "Then you wrote her first." "Only because the letter was wanted for the new edition of Heine, and I had no copy of it.".
"Well, of course, my dear fellow," he said banteringly, "you know the lady better than I do." "I doubt it," said I, "for I think I don't know her even a little bit." "Good you are gathering wisdom rapidly; indeed, you are growing almost over-wise." "I have often wondered how you got your amazing knowledge of women," I observed. He lit a cigarette and sent a cloud of smoke between us.
Under such light badinage did West try to conceal his real feeling but there was a tremour of the lips that spoke so banteringly. Good old West! A friend in a thousand. "Nice sort of place for the Squire of the Manor to be disporting himself, isn't it?" returned Merriton, fighting his hardest to keep his composure and reply in the same light tone. "I I damn it, Tony, you don't believe it, do you?"
"There's certainly something about that man I don't like." "It don't never pay to knock a stand-by," opined the head barber, banteringly. As though seeking sympathy from these gibes, the young lady denominated as Sadie turned toward the well-dressed, alert-looking young man who had just come in. Apparently he impressed her as a person in whom she might confide.
Then he bent toward the small stranger, bringing his face close to the child's, while his thick lips wreathed themselves in a smile ingratiatingly genial. "You can't look me squarely in the eye and say you prefer the tavern to these scholarly surroundings?" he said banteringly. "I reckon I'll be glad to stop," answered Hannibal. The judge clapped him playfully on the back.
