It inspires Corkey, this frequent admonition of the boy. But the boat cavorts dizzily. "Bail, you moke! You black devil! Don't you forget it!" The oars go fast and furious, often in the air, and each time with a volley of oaths. The wood-chopper has seized a man. It is another wood-chopper. There are now four souls in the boat. It leaps less like an athlete.
This sounded reasonable, so we placed them on the ground. There they sat in a circle looking up at our performances, a solemn and mild interest expressing itself in their lugubrious countenances. A dachshund has absolutely no sense of humour or lightness of spirits. He never cavorts.
Up goes his head and tail, he buck jumps, cavorts, gambols, kicks up his heels, bounds stiff-legged, and generally performs like an irresponsible infant. To see a whole herd at once of these grave and reverend seigneurs suddenly blow up into such light-headed capers goes far to destroy one's faith in the stability of institutions.

The commanding general no longer cavorts upon his charger, nor smiles as the bullets whistle about him, while he stands surrounded by an ornamental general staff, whose breasts are covered with ribbons and medals representing every known variety of hardware, whether monarchical or republican. Today the general sits in a room, surrounded by telephones and telegraph apparatus.
"As I'm sayin'; these well-meanin' though darkened sports, the philanthrofists, runs Bill down it's mebby when he's fourteen, only Injuns don't keep tab on their years none an' immures him in one of the gov'ment schools. It's thar Bill gets his name, 'Bill Connors. Before that he cavorts about, free an' wild an' happy onder the Injun app'lation of the 'Jack Rabbit. "Shore!
"Huh!" grunted Bandy-legs, who had bumped his head, and because it felt sore he was not in the happiest mood possible; "that's just what we're wantin' to do, if you c'n call this turnin' twistin' raft a ship. Makes me dizzy the way she reels and cavorts; just like she might be trying one of them new fangled dance steps."
