His face and hands were all black and blue in streaks, and so were the bits of his feet that showed between his Indian dressing-gown and his Turkish slippers. The word "Krikey" fell from more than one lip. "What are you staring at?" he asked. We did not answer even then, though I think it was less from keep-your-wordishness than amazement. But Jane did. "Nyang, Nyang!" she uttered tauntingly.
My brother was, however, of a hasty temper, and upbraided me with my slackness, on account, as he tauntingly insinuated, of the young laird being one of my best customers, which was a harsh and unrighteous doing; but it was not the severest trial which the accident occasioned to me; for the same night, at a late hour, a line was brought to me by a lassie, requesting I would come to a certain place and when I went there, who was it from but Swinton and the two other young lads that had been the seconds at the duel.
"Think what it will mean to my husband and myself. He will probably be placed under arrest and lose his post, while I I would rather die than face such exposure." "Ah! my dear Madame," said Rasputin tauntingly. "Life is very sweet, you know." "But you must not do this!" she shrieked loudly. "Promise me, Father, that you will not! Promise me do!"
The reason assigned by Anglo-Irish writers is more plausible: he had been a candidate for the Imperial Crown of Germany, and was tauntingly told by his competitors to conquer Ireland before he entered the lists for the highest political honour of that age.
Nick flourished those big fists of his, and commenced to dance tauntingly around as though meaning to enlist the admiration of his cronies, who had never yet seen him come out of a battle second-best, and therefore deemed him invincible. Hugh leaped at him with fury glowing in his eyes. Some powerful fever seemed to have utterly overwhelmed the boy.
"Starveling! ... Loafer!" shouted Manuel. "You're one yourself," cried one of Justa's friends tauntingly after him. "Rabble! Guttersnipe!" Manuel, filled with shame and thirsting for vengeance, still half dazed by the blow, thrust his cap down over his face and stamped along the road weeping with rage. Soon after he left he heard somebody running toward him from behind.
Suddenly Budd rose and bent over the table, his cards clutched in a shaking hand, his face distorted and malignant, his eyes burning at Kells. Passionately he threw the cards down. "There!" he yelled, hoarsely, and he stilled the noise. "No good!" replied Kells, tauntingly. "Is there any other game you play?"
Then he went down, all of a heap; tried to regain his feet, but failed, and crawled about on his hands and knees in the dust, still fighting for that first gasp of air which seemed tauntingly to stand between him and eternity. When it came, he rolled over on his back and lay there panting. "Get up," Brent scowled. "We've got to finish this scrap, and I'm in a hurry!"
The man was lurching unsteadily on his feet, a vicious sneer of triumph on his face, waving tauntingly an open letter and Jimmie Dale's pocket-book in his hands waving them presumably in the face of the Wowzer, whom, from the restrictions of the crack, Jimmie Dale could not see. He was conscious of a sickening sense of disaster.
Above her head, this girl of demoniacal beauty held a bunch of poppies seemingly torn from the vase: this, with her left hand; with her right she pointed, tauntingly, at her beholder. In comparison with the effected futurism of the other pictures in the studio, "Our Lady of the Poppies," beyond question was a great painting.
