She was from a distance, was handsome and clever, and the padrona gave glowing accounts of her full purse, and two pretty donkeys, and house by the sea. They had a very gay time. Such singing, and then dancing and frolicking, and such a feline softness in all their gaiety.
While they were quite strong, they were not taut, and yielded so much that the boy tipped over backwards, with his feet in the air, somewhat after the style of the baby when frolicking on the blanket. The two warriors, including the squaw, looked stolidly at him, and there was not the trace of a smile on any countenance.
I saw my pretty nursery, with the clear lamplight falling on the pictured walls and the little white beds; I saw my mother seated by the fire, with the baby in her arms, and heard her low, sweet voice singing: "Sleep, baby, sleep, Thy father watches the sheep!" I saw my father, laughing and frolicking with my little brothers, as his wont was on a leisure evening. How I longed to be among them.
The Little Ones chased the squirrels, and the squirrels, frolicking, drew them on always at length allowing themselves to be caught and petted. Often would some bird, lovely in plumage and form, light upon one of them, sing a song of what was coming, and fly away. Not one monkey of any sort could they see.
"Their hearts were soft with whiskey, And their heads were soft with blows." A wild, frolicking, drinking, fiddling, courting, horse-racing, riotous merry-making, a sort of Protestant carnival, relaxing the grimness of Puritanism for leagues around it.

In the midst of this frolicking life, and growing out of it, Irving's real literary career began.
I only found out afterwards that other people did not see the Colours." She leaned against the tree-hole plaiting and unplaiting chance-plucked grass stems. The children in the wood had drawn nearer. I could see them with the tail of my eye frolicking like squirrels. "Now I am sure you will never laugh at me," she went on after a long silence. "Nor at them." "Goodness! No!"
A cerulean sky above; the breath of an infinite variety of fragrant herbs around; and a land of silk and wine; everywhere the hum of bees and the murmur of falling streams; while, on the undulating down, a band of beauteous children were frolicking with the kids.
At this moment of crises, occurred one of his keenest personal afflictions. His little son Willie sickened and died. Lincoln's relation to his children was very close, very tender. Many anecdotes show this boy frolicking about the White House, a licensed intruder everywhere. Another flood of anecdotes preserve the stupefying grief of his father after the child's death.
"Now," said she, "I've told the story you ought to have told, for you know more about it than anybody else. It's as little as you can do to sing the old song that you sung when you used to go frolicking." "Why, it's about myself!" exclaimed Mr. Rabbit. "At my time of life it would never do."
