She reflected upon that with a thrill of terror that was also, somehow, in some faint remote way, gleeful. "Dear old Daddy," she said, "he'll make a fearful fuss.
There was another feature of the work of preparation in which all were glad to take part, the gathering of the evergreens red-berried holly, mistletoe with its glistening pearls, ground-pine, moss, and other wood treasures for the decoration of parlor, hall, and dining-room, and, above all, of the old village church, a gleeful labor in which the whole neighborhood took part, and helpers came from miles away.
"You mucker," he hissed, "I suppose you feel swelled up over having had a chance to fight gentleman. You " "Oh, Ripley, dry up -do!" interjected Ted Butler. "You call yourself a gentleman, but you talk and act more like well, more like a pup with the mange!" "A pup with the mange! Great!" came the gleeful chorus from a half score of freshmen. "I'm not through with you, yet, Prescott!"
The morning of The Fourth most anxiously awaited dawned clear and fair. The breeze was steady; the air bracing cold; and one and all the sailors anticipated a gleeful afternoon. And thus was falsified the prophecies of certain old growlers averse to theatricals, who had predicted a gale of wind that would squash all the arrangements of the green-room.
Thus the rising generation multiplied and grew apace; and merry innocent laughter and gleeful childlike shouts began to resound among the cliffs and groves of the lonely refuge of the mutineers.

Max was on the farther side of the room a good-sized parlor of the hotel where they were staying very much absorbed in a story-book; Lulu approached him softly, a gleeful smile on her lips and in her eyes, and laid his half dollar on the open page. "What's that for?" he asked, looking round at her. "For you; and you're to have as much every week, Mamma Vi says." "O Lu! am I, really?"
The very next day Scheible, who had been melancholy ever since he began to send to Tabea letters that brought no answer, was observed to be in a mood so gleeful that his companions in the paper mill doubted his sanity. The fountain of this joy was a note from Tabea stowed away in the pocket of his gown.
His pleasantries still resound among those crumbling theatres and galleries. That gleeful deviltry of his, compounded of blood and sunshine, is the epitome of Nepenthe. He is the scarlet thread running through its annals. An incarnation of all that was best in the age he identified, for wellnigh half a century, his interests with those of his faithful subjects. He meditated no conquests.
But Ned Dermody shouted out hoarsely and loud: "Be the Lord it's himself," and, as Dan afterwards used to tell, "took a flyin' lep at him, as if he'd a mind to ha' lep over the world."
