They kissed their hands and waved their hats at all women, old and young, in the mill settlement; they played pranks on each other; they charged here and there on their wiry ponies, whirling to right and left, 'turning on a ten-cent piece, throwing their animals from full speed to a stand, indulging in the cowboys' spectacular 'flash riding' for the sheer joy of it.
He no longer got going on any topic; he had become as a little child, as the little child that played about him there in the still, warm summer days and built houses with his law-books on the floor. He laughed feebly at her pranks, and submitted to her rule with pathetic meekness in everything where Marcia had not charged them both to the contrary.
The abundance of grain and other food is accompanied by great numbers of rats or large mice, which play all manner of pranks by night; white ants have always to be guarded against likewise. Anyone who would find an antidote to drive them away would confer a blessing; the natural check is the driver ant, which when it visits a house is a great pest for a time, but it clears the others out.
She was a perfect elf for pranks and jokes, yet demure as a nun. When he tried to awe her with his learning, she was saucy; if he was serious, she was gay; if he wished to teach, she rebelled.
Walton that she understood all about her foolish pranks, and was able to lead her in the better paths. Miss Brown prides herself upon never having lost her head with any man.

There are difficulties in the way of raising children properly, but a healthy child is such a great reward that the efforts are paid for a hundred times over. Nothing wears the parents out more quickly than a child who is always fretting and crying, always on the brink of disease or in its grasp.
She forgot all about it until she saw Carnaby at the breakfast table some hours later. Sometimes the gloom of that meal never a favorite or convivial one in the English household, and most certainly neither at Stoke Revel would be enlivened by some of the boy's pranks.
Our French people took up too easily, indeed, with savage ways; but Le Maudit Pensonneau was always full of his pranks. Oh, yes, Gabriel himself untied Celeste. She was wild with joy, and cried on Gabriel's shoulder; and all the young men who had taken their first communion with Gabriel and had played with this dear girl when she was a child, felt the tears come into their own eyes.
"He was an unco wild lad, nae doobt, but his feyther kenned naething about his pranks, and sae the least said, sunest mended," said the landlord. And thus, by the pranks of his "double," the reputation of the excellent young Marquis of Arondelle suffered among his own people. But a crisis was at hand.
It is at this point that the Purana now moves to what is perhaps its most significant phase a description of Krishna's effects on the cowgirls. We have seen how during his infancy Krishna's pranks have already made him the darling of the women. As he grows up, he acquires a more adult charm.
