Orators were announcing that "Galop de Vache, the Capital City, the site of Kremer College and of the Upholtz Knitting Works, is the recognized center of culture and high-class enterprise;" and that "Hamburg, the Big Little City with the Logical Location, where every man is open-handed and every woman a heaven-born hostess, throws wide to you her hospitable gates."
The first entertainment was the Chevaux au Galop, a delightful merry-go-round with the most fiery prancing horses, three abreast, and all jumping at different moments. The Marquis helped me up, and Jean got on the other side; we all rode except the Comtesse and the old Baron.
And then they went on to talk of the lovely dance music they had at the Point that summer, and how bewitchingly Elsen used to play that pretty galop "Puckwudjies" the very thing for a moonlit night. One could almost see the Indian fairies dancing about their tiny fires.
Once the nine all weeping came To the god of song "Oh, papa!" they there exclaim "Hear our tale of wrong! "Young ink-lickers swarm about Our dear Helicon; There they fight, manoeuvre, shout, Even to thy throne. "On their steeds they galop hard To the spring to drink, Each one calls himself a bard Minstrels only think! "There they how the thing to name!
Every donation was hailed with the wildest transports, and while the woods were ringing with electrifying shouts, Hawkins rallied three hundred men round him and went off at a swinging galop for the Brazos." "Oh, Jack! Jack!" In another hour, the rest of the leaders had gathered their detachments, and every man had turned his face to the Texan prairies.
She said she had been told that Frederick strutted about as if he were already King. But she added, "He is such an ass that one cannot tell what he thinks; and yet he is not so great a fool as you take him for, neither." The Princess Caroline vowed that if the worst were to prove true, she would run out of the house au grand galop.
And, the commander being anxious to dazzle the Germans with them, they and the Zouaves had been sent first into the fire, in spite of Bazaine's very sensible observation: "When you drive, you do not begin at a galop." And so these picked troops were broken up in their first engagement. It was said that of 2,500 Turcos, only 29 were left.
A calm, graceful carriage, the power to make an elegant courtesy, are necessary to a lady. No one in these days takes steps; a sort of galop is, however, allowed in the rapid figures of the quadrille. A defiant manner, sometimes assumed by a bashful man, is out of place, although there are certain figures which make a man feel rather defiant.
Day said to herself, and, being a devout woman, gave thanks accordingly. "Well, dear, and what did you say?" "I said I don't know what I said, mama. We were dancing that last galop the Orlando Furioso one, you know and the room was so full, and other couples were rushing down upon us people are so horribly selfish when they dance, and some of them dance so boisterously."
"It is the next galop I am to keep for you, is it not?" This was to Guy; but there was no answer. He stood in precisely the same attitude, without a muscle of his face stirring or an eyelash quivering. In all the Rifle Brigade there was not a more reckless dare-devil than Harry Ravenswood, nor one who adhered more devoutly to the convenient creed, "All is fair in war or love."
