"Guess which way I'm going to heave this stone!" cried Jack, tauntingly, as he half wheeled, so as to watch those trying to steal a march in his rear. "Bosh! You can soon stop that, men!" jeered Millard, suddenly. "Fall back and get a fistful of stones. Rain them in on the youngster at a safe distance. One of you will soon hit him and send him down!"
A sky-hawk that tauntingly had followed the main-truck downwards from its natural home among the stars, pecking at the flag, and incommoding Tashtego there; this bird now chanced to intercept its broad fluttering wing between the hammer and the wood; and simultaneously feeling that etherial thrill, the submerged savage beneath, in his death-gasp, kept his hammer frozen there; and so the bird of heaven, with archangelic shrieks, and his imperial beak thrust upwards, and his whole captive form folded in the flag of Ahab, went down with his ship, which, like Satan, would not sink to hell till she had dragged a living part of heaven along with her, and helmeted herself with it.
"What need," said the Blackfoot chief, tauntingly, "have the Nez Perces to leave their homes, and sally forth on war parties, when they have danger enough at their own doors? If you want fighting, return to your villages; you will have plenty of it there. The Blackfeet warriors have hitherto made war upon you as children. They are now coming as men.
As if struck by lightning he started when a well-known voice tauntingly said: "Good-day, Andrea Cavalcanti." "You and always you!" cried the bandit furiously. "Where is the other one?" The major shrugged his shoulders, while the soldiers looked in every corner and Benedetto angrily gnawed his under lip. "He has probably escaped through the well," said one of the soldiers at last.
Not to Miss Howe? said I. No, not to Miss Howe, Madam, tauntingly: for have you not acknowledged, that Lovelace is a favourite there? See, my dear Miss Howe ! And do you think, Brother, this is the way Do you look to that. But your letters will be stopt, I can tell you. And away he flung. My sister came to me soon after Sister Clary, you are going on in a fine way, I understand.
But as she stood watching him calmly remove his coat and shake it with the air of one determined to make himself at home, she cried out tauntingly: "Why do you stop? Why don't you go on finish your search only don't ever speak to me again." At that, Rance became conciliatory. "Say, Min, I don't want to quarrel with you."
Winch glared up at him a moment, a ludicrous picture, with that writhing face and that curious fighting-cut, but cast down his eyes again, sulkily, and said nothing. "Come away, boys," whispered Frank. "Don't stay here, making fun of him. Why do you?" "Jack," said Ellis, "we're going to take a drink. Won't you come along with us?" tauntingly.
Arrogating to themselves absolute power over the controverted states of Cleve, Julich, and the dependencies, they now pretended to dispose of them at their pleasure in order at the end insolently to take possession of them for themselves. These were the egregious fruits of the truce, they said tauntingly to the discomfited Archduke.
It was noon when we reached our camp, tired and covered with mud. Those who went laughed at those who remained behind, and called them "dead beats!" The "beats" tauntingly demanded of the others what all their demonstration had amounted to. The New York papers heralded the exploit as a grand advance on the enemy, and we said little about it.
It is stated that his own judgment was swayed by the autocratic Vice-Admiral Cochrane who tauntingly remarked that "if the army could not take those mud-banks, defended by ragged militia, he would undertake to do it with two thousand sailors armed only with cutlases and pistols."
