However, he placed the infants in a cradle, and went down to the river with the intention of throwing them into it, but seeing it running strong and turbulently, he feared to approach it, laid down the cradle near the bank and went away.
He obeyed, but turbulently, and with much pretense, making believe to fall and rolling on the sacks, a naked cherub writhing with laughter. Finally, his mother had to stop her heel-turning to seize him by one leg, drag him toward her, roll him up in the end of the blanket and with a silencing slap say, "There, lie still." This quieted him.
"I needn't have broken my neck to get here, after all. Still, there may be something I can do for the family, as I hear Clifford is on the sick list.... Is Sartorius still at the house?" She replied that he was and, bidding a hasty good-bye, got into her waiting taxi. Once alone, the thoughts stirred up by the young man's unexpected appearance on the scene buzzed turbulently inside her brain.
Spring came, as it always comes in that snow-washed northern land, with a ramp of the ice loosening its grip from the turbulent waters, and a whirr of the birds winging north in long, high, wedge-shaped lines, and a crunching of the icefloes riding turbulently out to sea, and a piping of the odorous spring winds through the resinous balsam-scented woods.
There was a whispering here and there, 'They will be here in a little while; 'They are coming yonder, 'Who are coming yonder? 'The main column. 'The main column is coming. 'Here it is! 'No. 'Yes. All at once the crowd began to move turbulently.

Frederick put the letter in his breast pocket, and he felt his heart beneath beat more warmly, less turbulently.
"Billy," called the voice, "you needn't 'phone. I'm here. I'll unlock it." My host turned in surprise and walked over to the door. "Hullo, Frances!" he exclaimed. "Didn't you go to the Club?" "I had a headache," replied the voice. "I sent the others off, and stayed at home. I'll come in just a moment." I stood waiting, my pulses pounding turbulently.

"Rob b ber r!" bawled the outraged fans, betraying their marvelous inconsistency. Old Well-Well breathed hard. Again the wrestling of his body signified an inward strife.
"As a parent. Even my penance on the road was was like the rest." "Your penance!" "I bought a corncrib and a mule," flung out Kenny, roaming turbulently around the room, "and thrashed a farmer.
