At that same moment a cheetah that had been held in readiness leapt airily to the ground, and the chase commenced after the right-hand buck, which had a start of about 110 yards. The keeper simply begged us not to follow until he should give the word. It was a magnificent sight to see the extraordinary speed of both the pursued and the pursuer.
"Oh," Penrod responded airily, "just for the main and simple reason!" Sam could bear it no longer. "Oh, hush up!" he shouted. Penrod was stung. "Do you mean ME?" he demanded. "Yes, I do!" the goaded Sam replied. "Did you tell ME to hush up?" "Yes, I did!" "I guess you don't know who you're talkin' to," Penrod said ominously. "I guess I just better show you who you're talkin' to like that.
"Well, I'm sure, Mas sir," opined Mr. Lasher at length; "if there's any one as has got into his right rut, so to speak, in this world, it's you. I always said you was a born soldier." "Ah then you've heard that I've got my commission?" inquired Jem airily, as if he had had many such in bygone years. "Oh yes, sir! Miss Dora it was that told me." Somehow this caused a little silence.
Although many convalescents paced gloomily up and down the halls, or lounged upon the spacious galleries, I noticed few male nurses. Perhaps half a dozen women met us at the doors of different wards, jauntily dressed, airily "showing off" their patients, and discoursing of their condition and probable chances of life, in a manner utterly revolting to me.

"He has been eating something wrong," concluded Miss Mary, finding ease of a kind in so poor an excuse for her darling's perturbation.
Not that, after all, we like the fine Italian spirit better than our own; popular rudeness is sometimes the symptom of rude moral health. But, where a Carnival is in question, it would probably pass off more decorously, as well as more airily and delightfully, in Rome, than in any Anglo-Saxon city. When Kenyon emerged from a side lane into the Corso, the mirth was at its height.
Turning to Virginia, he said: "I think you told me that your sister and Mr. Gillie are engaged." "Yes." Going up to Fanny and her betrothed, he extended a hand to both: "Congratulations! I hope you'll both be very, very happy." "Thank you," said Fanny, with a little courtesy. "Oh, I guess we'll be all right," said Jimmie airily.
Victor, having met him on his way up the trail, was first to arrive upon the scene. "The poet!" said the vicomte airily. He was, with all his lawlessness, a gallant man. "Did I not prophesy that some day we should be at each other's throats?" "Gabrielle," Victor said, "help is close at hand. I can keep this man at bay. If I should die, Gabrielle . . . you will not forget me?" "How affecting!
'Well . . . no . . . not quite. I wanted to explain, to modify, to speak airily of woollens being 'just rubbed through, but she hurried me forward. 'Have you a hot water circulator? 'No. 'A gas cooking-range? 'No. It was terrible. I seemed to have nothing. I stood, as it were, naked to the world, bereft of a single inducement to hold out to the girl. 'Do you dine late?
