The Fish swam hither and thither with such frolicsome darts that his back fin made the water fly. "E han!" whooped the Fish, "this is where I live!" "Oh, what have we done!" said the frightened people, "this will be our undoing." Then a wise chief said: "Iya, the Eater, shall come and swallow the lake!" So one went running.
Stanhope's unexpected appearance just hit his frolicsome mood, and promised to be a source of endless merriment if he could only keep his classmate over the coming holiday. Moreover, he long had wished to become better acquainted with this young man, whose manner at the seminary had deeply interested him. So he said: "Mother, this is Mr. Stanhope, a classmate of mine.
Men also run mad from perplexity, from fear, as also on beholding hideous sights. The remedy lies in quieting their minds. There are three classes of spirits, some are frolicsome, some are gluttonous, and some sensual. Until men attain the age of three score and ten, these evil influences continue to torment them, and then fever becomes the only evil spirit that afflicts sentient beings.
As to her hair, the local milliner declared it impossible for Rose Wiley to get an unbecoming hat; that on one occasion, being in a frolicsome mood, Rose had tried on all the headgear in the village emporium, children's gingham "Shakers," mourning bonnets for aged dames, men's haying hats and visored caps, and she proved superior to every test, looking as pretty as a pink in the best ones and simply ravishing in the worst.

You have made a transition from the frolicsome allegretto of the bachelor to the heavy andante of the father of a family.
All work was instantly suspended, and active preparations made for securing a few of these frolicsome fellows. Another line with a running "bowline," or slip-noose, was also passed out to the bowsprit end, being held there by one man in readiness. Then one of the harpooners ran out along the backropes, which keep the jib-boom down, taking his stand beneath the bowsprit with the harpoon ready.
When objects apparently quite untouched become volatile, the mystery is deeper. This apparent animation and frolicsome behaviour of inanimate objects is reported all through history, and attested by immense quantities of evidence of every degree. It would be tedious to give a full account of the antiquity and diffusion of reports about such occurrences.
He has taken her hand and placed it in his arm, a little coquettish device to which he was wont; but he keeps the little hand in his with a nervous clasp that is new, and that makes her tremble all the more when his speech grows impassioned, and the easy compliments of his past days of frolicsome humor take a depth of tone which make her heart thrill strangely.
On her part there was a moderate share of cousinly affection; on his, as much love and tenderness as his selfish nature was capable of feeling. What she thought of her father's intentions concerning herself, no one knew; she never alluded to the subject, and if in a frolicsome mood Hugh broached it, she invariably cut the discussion short.
