Then, sitting on the top of the wall, he directed Mr. Clifford to fasten the end of the rope round Benita's waist, and her turn came. It was not so bad as she expected, for she was agile, and the knowledge that the rope would prevent disaster gave her confidence.
Uncle Joe was the heartiest laugher I ever knew. He was always as full of happy life as a frisky colt or a plump pig. When he entered a knot of idlers on the streets, it was the signal or a humorous uproar. His quaint sayings, witty repartee, and contagious laughter, never failed. He was as agile as a monkey, and his dancing was a marvel.
"And, then, then, by the holy, agile angels! you think you have to persuade me it's a serious business! Never fear! I know it! Jarvis, the bromide, quick! Before I know it, they'll drive me to opiates. Serious business! Shrivelled and shrinking saints!" Arms clasped around his legs, knees pressed against his chin, Mr.
As every one knows, the breeder of race horses finds that colts vary much in their speed; discarding the slower animals, he uses only the swifter for breeding purposes, and so he perfects one type of horse. With other objects in view, the heavy draught horse, the spirited hackney, and the agile polo pony have been severally bred by exactly the same method.
He took silent note of the Texan's popularity, of how the boys all called him "Steve" because he had become one of them, and were ready either to lark with him or work with him.

"Plenty fat cattle in the corals; and heaps of mange in the store." So the Salteaux were happy, and, somewhat in their old fashion, went vaulting homewards.

That's all right; it's all in the game. I'm going to play the game out. There's pretty fair farm land under that water out there. I'm going to draw the water off." Garman resumed his smoking. Suddenly he rose, an agile, powerful figure, graceful in spite of his huge bulk. "It's a hard job you're tackling, Payne." "But I'm tackling it." "I see you are."

He has a parrot that chatters and annoys Mrs. Berry, but the old man is honest, I'm sure. And he's too old to be agile enough to do such an acrobatic thing as you suggest." Ted Hosmer looked at Dolly as she spoke, and a sudden light came into his eyes.
After the month of May, 1817, never a week passed that the town was not thrown into an uproar by some new piece of mischief. Max, as a matter of honor, imposed certain conditions upon the Knights.
