He gained upon it rapidly, and at length overtook and seized it; and then, turning round, he trotted swiftly back, leaped over the top of the wall, and brought the bonnet, and laid it down at its owner's feet, with an air of great satisfaction. The good woman took up her bonnet, and threw her stick away, and, turning around, walked back to the house.
"Has the Easter Hare quite forgotten us this year?" For three hours they tramped about, and hunted for eggs in every corner of the fields near the big forest. Suddenly Paulchen found a huge egg; he called to Luischen to come at once to see it, and she trotted along towards him, carrying a pretty little nest filled with Easter eggs in her hands, which she had also found.
Now they were loading their shingles with leaves, twigs, pebbles, anything that they could find in the gutters. By lashing the water into waves, as they trotted in the wake of their frail craft, they managed to sail them from one end of the puddle to the other. Maida followed the progress of these merchant vessels as breathlessly as their owners. Some capsized utterly.
Tongue out of mouth trotted the little dog after him; crouched panting when he stopped an instant; rose weariedly when he started afresh. Now and then a large white night-moth flitted through the dusk of the forest. On a barren corner of the wooded highland looking inland stood grey topless ruins set in nettles and rank grass-blades.

The next morning, long before dawn, we stole away quietly and trotted briskly till noon, when we encountered a deep and almost impassable ravine.
And suddenly on to this scene trotted a little band of men in black sweaters with purple 'E's, nice new canvas trousers, and purple and black stockings; and just as suddenly the north stand arose and the Robinson cheers were blotted out by a mighty chorus that swept from end to end of the structure and thundered impressively across the field: "Erskine!

Once or twice Hugo had looked around for Satan, and Satan paying no attention, the mastiff trotted on home in disgust.
Sanderson and I have in mind." The district attorney and Dundee strode quickly away, and the man, Rawlins, after a moment of indecision, trotted after them. "I don't understand, sir, and my name ain't George. It's Elmer." "You don't have to understand anything, except that you're not to answer any question that any reporter asks you," Sanderson retorted.
"Just coming to look for you, sir," he announced, glibly. "Telegram, sir just harrived." "Thanks," said Victor, shortly, taking the envelope and marching on into his rooms. His manner toward his servants was always abrupt. No need to be alarmed by this manifestation of it. Blinking mildly, Nogam trotted at his heels.
