Yes! in the realm of their spirits, in their souls, the inner, moving part of them, "free and equal"! ... "It's the roof of the world!" Margaret said, as she jumped from the car platform and looked over the upland, whimsically recalling the name of a popular play then running in New York.
Our talk there, by the wood, had begun to create around us all the limitations of man's world. I was forgetting that we were moving in the free spaces of a planetary republic. And then I looked up and saw the leaning moon, whimsically balanced on the very crown of the topknot that gave a touch of impudence to the pudding-basin hill. "What's the name of that hill?" I asked.
"'And metals cry to me to be delivered!" quoted the "King," whimsically, fuming as he took his long strides, hither and thither amid the rubbish-heaps, so slow to disappear and reveal those underground passages and hidden vaults, by which the fancies of both of us were obsessed. We had worked for a week before we made a clearance of the ground floor.
I knew what she meant, and, stepping back a few paces, came running forward and leaped into the air. I cleared the intervening space with no more effort than I could have jumped less than half that distance on earth. Miela flew over beside me. "You see, Alan, my husband, it is not so bad, perhaps, that I can fly." She was smiling whimsically, but I could see her eyes were full of pride.
"I think so, too, Peter," said Aladdin. "And I think that if she takes one of us it will be a great sorrow for the other." "And for her," said Peter, quietly. "Perhaps," said Aladdin, whimsically, "she won't take either of us." "That," said Peter, "should be a great sorrow for us both." "I know," said Aladdin. "Anyway, there's got to be sorrow."
The fire crackled around the Dutch ovens, and the odor of coffee came floating by. Then Mac hunched himself against a wagon-wheel and began to talk. "I suppose it looks odd to you, Sarge, to see me in this rig?" he asked whimsically. "It beats punching cows, though that is, when a fellow discovers that he isn't a successful cowpuncher." "Does it?" I returned dryly.
One of the bedrooms was utilized as a closet, and garments for every imaginable occasion were brought forth. There were stout English tweeds for the heaviest weather, two dress suits, and Norfolk jackets in corduroy. The owner's taste ran to grays and browns, it seemed, and he whimsically ordered his raiment grouped by colors as he lounged about with a pipe in his mouth.
As we're all going to meet again at dinner we can bear to be separated for an hour or so even Jerry and Joan, I suppose?" she added whimsically, in a lower tone. "It's invidious to mention names," murmured Stair, "or I might " Diana laid her hand lightly across his mouth. "No, you mightn't," she said firmly.
"Your congratulations," he answered. She held out a hand to him. "I offer them now. It was wonderful. You were inspired. I did not think you could ever let yourself go." He held her hand firmly. "I promise not to do it again," he said whimsically. "Why not?" "Have I not your congratulations?" His hand drew her slightly towards him; she rose to her feet.
That attests how woefully I fall short of you, my poet. You would have found some magic phrase to make that ancient glory articulate, I know. Yet, did I ever love you? I do not know that. I only know I sometimes fear you robbed me of the power of loving any other man." He raised one hand in deprecation. "I must remind you," he cried, whimsically, "that a burnt child dreads even to talk of fire."
