Much enjoyment I do not expect in the life opening before me: yet it will, doubtless, if I regulate my mind, and exert my powers as I ought, yield me enough to live on from day to day. Was I very gleeful, settled, content, during the hours I passed in yonder bare, humble schoolroom this morning and afternoon? Not to deceive myself, I must reply No: I felt desolate to a degree.
A couple of hours later the sun was out, and the distant hills shimmering in the heat haze. "Himmel! Ve are alvays lucky, Bonker!" he cried, and with gleeful energy brandished his dumb-bells in final preparation for his muscular exploits. "We certainly have escaped hanging so far," said the Count, as he drew on the trews which became his well-turned leg so happily.
Down flat to the ground went the Melville heir, hitting his nose roughly and starting the blood. "Hooray!" yelled a gleeful boy in the throng. "Say, ain't he fine at jiu-jitsu, though?" A yell of great joy went up from some of the boys, who are always delighted at seeing the larger fellow thrashed, especially when he is the one who has started the trouble.
The first stroke of his brush against the canvas was to Spunk a challenge; and Spunk never refused a challenge. With a bound he was on Bertram's knee, gleeful paw outstretched, batting at the end of the brush. "Tut, tut no, no naughty Spunk! Say, but wasn't that cute?" chuckled Billy. "Do it again!" The artist gave an exasperated sigh.

If the wind had only stopped for a moment its endless gossip with the leaves, I am sure I should have heard the gleeful shouts, the sportive cries, of these vagrant flowers whose spell is rewoven over every generation of children, and whose unstudied beauty and joy recall, with every summer, some of the clews which most of us have lost in our journey through life.
"I think I do, Mr. Titus," said I. "The things that 'come easy' are never appreciated." "Right, my boy. It's what we have to work for like nailers that we lie awake thinking about." We came out upon the eminence overlooking the next hole, which lay far below us. As I stooped to tee-up my ball, a gleeful shout came up the hillside. "Hello, John Bellamy!"
Girls of all ages, rosy from the air, and bubbling over with that gleeful excitement that comes from running to school on a fine autumn morning, hurried, skipped, fluttered by; from the hollow class-rooms came a quick drumming of voices; a bell rang; a voice like a bird cried, "Muriel." And then there came from the staircase a tremendous knock-knock-knocking. Some one had dropped her dumbbells.
On the contrary, the deviations made from his theory were, in his opinion, the sole cause of the whole disaster, and with characteristically gleeful sarcasm he would remark, "There, I said the whole affair would go to the devil!"
