I suppose she would have done it before this, only she knew I'd run away. You won't send me to a boarding-school, will you, Stephen? Because I won't go." "No," I said obligingly. "I won't. I should never dream of cooping a wild little thing, like you, up in a boarding-school. You'd fret your heart out like a caged skylark."
I reassured her on this last point, promised everything she asked, and then got away as quickly as I could, lest I should disgrace myself by letting escape the wild laughter which I caged with difficulty. It was arranged that we should all meet that evening, after dinner, at the Villa des Fleurs, for one of those fêtes de nuit which Gaet
For the Greek caught a number of the parrots and re-taught them to say "Apsethus caged us and made us say, 'Apsethus is a god." And when the Libyans heard the recantation of the parrots, they all assembled together of one accord and burnt Apsethus alive. And in the same way we must regard Simon, the magician, more readily comparing him with the Libyan fellow's thus becoming a god.
Presently a little window-casement opened above him; Gaston of Béarn poked out his head. 'Beau sire, he says, 'what entertainment is this for the Count your son? 'No son of mine, by the Face! cried the King. 'Let that woman I have caged at home answer for him, who defies me for ever. Let me in, thou sickly dog. Gaston said, 'Beau sire, you shall come in if you will, and if you come in peace.

The genius must learn to conduct himself in accordance with rational and seemly custom, or he must be brought to his senses. When a great man's ways are merely innocently different from those of ordinary people, by all means let him alone. For instance, Leonardo da Vinci used often to buy caged wild-birds from their captors and let them go free. What a lovely and lovable action!
The next day, about four o'clock, Philippe went to the rue de Sentier, where he found Giroudeau in the entresol, caged like a wild beast in a sort of hen-coop with a sliding panel; in which was a little stove, a little table, two little chairs, and some little logs of wood.
He had no chance of attracting the notice of big editors by his present work, and he had no leisure for doing any other. All of which may go to explain why his normal aspect was that of a caged eagle. To him, brooding over the outpourings of Luella Granville Waterman, there entered Pugsy Maloney, the office-boy, bearing a struggling cat. "Say!" said Pugsy.

"What can I do?" asked the big fellow; and he had not the air of a fighting-man, in spite of his ample proportions. "That is for you to decide," answered Deck. "We are surrounded by double our own number, and caged here like a lot of mules.
He is in his full senses, he eats and he drinks, and he has his calls like other men and as he had yesterday, before they caged him. And if that's the case, what do they mean by wanting me to believe that he is enchanted? For I have heard many a one say that enchanted people neither eat, nor sleep, nor talk; and my master, if you don't stop him, will talk more than thirty lawyers."
