Then they rest a moment, panting, laughing, showing their teeth; another look and they repeat the same performance. They are wonderful! "Louis waltzed with me and seemed satisfied. I saw him for the first time waltz with the Marquise. Oh, my mother, it was the dance of the stars! "One thing which struck me this evening, as always, was the manifest idolatry with which the women regard my husband.
We cantered along in the midst of the great harmonious silence of populous fields; the locusts waltzed in the sun, the little mere-cats stood and watched us for a moment and then scampered into their holes; the ants were toiling busily beneath a thousand heaps. The plain stretched to the horizon, with the stone-covered kopjes standing out like larger ant-heaps.
"Play on, dear Alphonso!" would the old lady exclaim, whisking me round: and though I had not the least pleasure in such a homely partner, yet for the sake of perfecting myself I waltzed and waltzed with her, until we were both half dead with fatigue. At the end of three weeks I could waltz as well as any man in Germany.
He now seized Teddy about the waist and waltzed around the room with him. "And that's all!" Ned decided, closing the book. "We can't take more than six."

"Why, what's up?" "Well," said Bill, slowly disengaging himself from one of his enormous gloves, "when we waltzed down into the brush up there I saw a man, ez plain ez I see you, rise up from it. I thought our time had come and the band was goin' to play, when he sorter drew back, made a sign, and we just scooted past him." "Well?"

She had more sense, more knowledge, more conversation, as well as more goodness, than all the partners you have waltzed with this winter put together. Yet no man was known to have loved her, or even to have offered himself to her in marriage. It was a great wonder.
They reached another village before dark, a village with a good prosperous alehouse, and here Bill showed quite his old form. He waltzed, he threw somersaults, he found handkerchiefs, he carried the hat; his docility was all that Trotter and the Signor could have asked.
They wus both husky-lookin' bucks, an' I was sufficient interested by then ter offer ter sorter hold one of 'em while the kid polished off the other.
