By that time, however, the sun had sunk to rest upon a pillow of clouds; the squirrels, law-abiding citizens, had sought their homes; the woodpecker had vanished in his snug chamber, and only forest dwellers of nocturnal habits were now abroad, their name legion like the gad-abouts of a populous city. "There!" exclaimed the manager, surveying his handiwork. "The 'bus is ready!
Didn't the Bible or somebody say: 'Just as the twig is bent the boy's inclined? And if you don't bend your twig, what'll become of your boy?" The loafers and loungers and gad-abouts and gossips talked a great deal about the failure of the new plan. They were sure that Mr.
A growing mist mixed with the daylight, and still there were a few people out, falling over their feet with fatigue; it took silent possession, and then the shadowy forms left in the fields were motionless and would remain there until carted to garrets and kitchen corners and other winter quarters on Monday morning. There were few gad-abouts that Saturday night.
Medical science and educational science always do conflict; but eleven-o'clock suppers, social circles, tri-weekly gad-abouts, and over-anxious parents, who yearn for a good match for their daughters, disarrange the brains and stomachs of girls oftener than any undue desire to excel in study.

Think of it we have four of them," announced Margaret proudly. "Then I'm going too," declared her mother. "Good!" cried Thayor. "Holcomb says he can easily take us there and back in time for luncheon."
Knowing that neither of them had halters on, he had brought two with him and now slipped them over his charges' heads, saying as he did so: "You've got to come 'long back with me and keep company manners, do you know that, you disrepu'ble gad-abouts? You ain't never had no proper eddicatin' an' now it's a-goin' to begin for fa'r. You-all are goin' ter be larnt citified manners hot off the bat.
Tania held long conversations with these birds in the mornings and in the late afternoons. She told them all her troubles, and how very much she would like to get away from the place where she was now staying. However, the birds were great gad-abouts during the day, and Tania could hardly blame them. There was one fat, fatherly robin that became Tania's particular friend.
"I do hope I shan't have to go on tomorrow to New York; but these Bishops of ours are such gad-abouts one never knows where to catch them. But, after all, perhaps the trip will do me good the change of air and scene, you know." "I'm sure I hope so," said Alice, honestly enough.
