He has done a lot of harm to many people in Baghdad, and he will be rightly punished. What is to be done with my diamond?" he inquired anxiously. "Oh, you're to have it back whenever you like to go for it, and you'll receive an apology at the same time," said I. "Very well, then, I'm off to get it first thing in the morning," said the little fellow gleefully.
They spent a completely happy day, rejoicing in the successful attempt of each to penetrate the other's mind. They had never, even on their honeymoon, felt more at one. Later, Mary asked him about the missing sketch. "Yes, I sold it for the bird's trappings," he answered gleefully; "wasn't it clever of me? But don't ask me for the horrid details, and don't tell me a word about my wonderful ring.
It's in the taxi still, I think, and I haven't paid the man. Good-bye, darling." He waved to her till the curving line took the platform out of sight, and then sat down with a laugh, and eyes of friendly interest for Michael. "Narrow squeak, wasn't it?" he said gleefully. "I thought the guard had collared me. And I should have missed Parsifal."
"Limed inside and chalked outside," he retorted gleefully. "But M'sieu' Doltaire needs no lime, for he has no soul. No, by Sainte Helois! The good God didn't make him.

Lawler smiled and went out. As the door closed behind him Hatfield sank back into his chair and chuckled gleefully. "Swallowed it!" he said in an undertone; "swallowed it whole.
One morning as I went out with the stable detail, as we were passing a Negro house, a six-year-old boy came to the door with a plate full of crumbs and crusts to throw out, when we asked him to give it to us. He gleefully held it out, while we rushed for it like hungry hogs. I got a handful.
The discourse was here interrupted by Toby, who entered the room, and was gleefully frisking and bounding round Mary.

The animal, in point of fact, wore a new collar, and seemed conscious that he was more than usually attractive that particular morning.
Cows and horses stood gazing at them from warm paddocks, where the rich, black mud glistened, melted by the sun; chickens scratched and clucked in the barnyards or flew frantically across the road, sometimes within an ace of destruction. Janet flinched, but Ditmar would laugh, gleefully, boyishly. "We nearly got that one!" he would exclaim.
Opening it, they beheld the piper seated beneath a little porch covered with eglantine and roses. He was playing a few notes on his pipe, but stopped on hearing their approach.
