Between themselves the girls may send her somewhere while I am gone and I want to make that impossible. When I am captain I will take mother around the world. I will show her how good God is everywhere. Poor mother! She is one of those bubbling-over temperaments like Linnet's and when she is down she is all the way down.
Diana found Loveday in the ivy room, and burst in upon her with as much of the bubbling-over spirits as she dared to exhibit, hugging her till she nearly choked her. "I've missed you loads, Loviekins!" she assured her. "It felt queer to be in bed, and not have you on the other side of a curtain. I used to wake up in the night and begin to speak to you out of sheer force of habit.
And Fil, who was sitting at the piano, twirled round on the stool and strummed "Beautiful K K Katie" with a lack of technique that probably would have brought her teacher's temper up to bubbling-over point had he been there to listen to her. It was exactly ten days after the term had begun that Bess Haselford came to the College.

Diana and Wendy linked arms as naturally as two pieces of mercury merge together in a box. Their spirits, usually high, were to-day at bubbling-over point: they laughed at everything, whether it was a joke or not. "It's my first real mountain walk in England," announced Diana. "Oh!

One afternoon they came to a river which their guide told them was one of the largest in the country.
Darrow in a shaking tone, "this is the limit. An example must be made! Last week you tore down the schoolhouse chimney with your ridiculous tight rope performances." "And wasn't it just jolly!" gloated a juvenile gleesome voice in a loud whisper. The schoolmaster swept the room with a shocked glance. It had no effect upon the bubbling-over effervescence of his pupils.
