He can turn cartwheels, stand on his head, ride see-saw, throw snowballs, play ball, crow like a cock, eat bread and butter and drink sour milk, tear his trousers, wear holes in his elbows, break the crockery in pieces, throw balls through the windowpanes, draw old men on important papers, walk over the flower-beds, eat himself sick with gooseberries, and be well after a whipping.
Directly in front of him across the room he saw the young woman, barefoot and wearing, instead of her business attire, purple sweatpants and a torn green sweatshirt. Worse than this, she was turning cartwheels and saying what sounded to him like, "Put it in the lake, dip it, water proof it, French dip it, soak it, drench it, pinch it, wrench it."
In three or four days I'll take the starch out of them by hard work, but in the meantime you can help us a lot and earn enough cartwheels for yourself to keep you in fire-water the rest of your days. Look here" he smiled magnanimously "for every bohunk you give me an excuse to hang there's a dollar for you. That's five hundred dollars and it's yours with my blessing."
He gave a last high kick, turned a series of cartwheels round the room and ended by standing with his hands on his hips and one foot on Daubrecq's lifeless body. "An allegorical tableau!" he announced. "The angel of virtue destroying the hydra of vice!"
We got into a kind of wash-house, belonging to a dwelling-house on this spot; and standing there in an old cart, and on a heap of cartwheels piled against the wall, looked, through a large grated window, at the scaffold, and straight down the street beyond it until, in consequence of its turning off abruptly to the left, our perspective was brought to a sudden termination, and had a corpulent officer, in a cocked hat, for its crowning feature.
But before they had got much further the noise of the cartwheels began again; and Stockdale soon found that they were coming towards him. In another minute the three carts came up, and Stockdale and Lizzy stood in the ditch to let them pass.

The dreams in which Silvere indulged in the daytime, while he plied his heavy hammer round the cartwheels in his master's shop, were full of generous enthusiasm. He fancied himself Miette's redeemer.
I had always enjoyed electrical storms, but I never experienced one quite so personal before. Cartwheels and skyrockets exploded under my very nose and blue flame wrapped all around us. The Chief had gone on in search of the pack mule, and I was alone with Smolley. Through a lull in the storm I caught a glimpse of him.
"Ye'll call me plain Martha, which is almost mother, and not a bit of 't. There Cornelia, my love! what do ye say?"

And don't use great cartwheels o' words that leave a body crushed."
"I might pay for one;" Macandrew drew red cartwheels on his blotting-pad. "Those seats are sure to be gone. I'll send you a box. Stanhope's as bad as he can be with dysentery you might make a local out of that. Be sure to mention he can't see anybody it's absurd the way Calcutta people want to be paid."
