Jan raised her head; pride and shame and self-consciousness were dead in her: "He's gone," she sobbed. "He won't come back, and I shall never be happy any more," and down went her head again on her locked arms. Tony did not attempt to console her. He ran from the room, and Jan felt that this was only an added pang of abandonment. Down the drive ran Tony, with William galumphing beside him.
Are you sure there won't come a time when you'll think, 'Oh, if only I had never asked that noisy, nervous, nosing, messy, meddlesome, moping, miserable, growling, grumbling, grouchy, greedy, galloping, galumphing Emma Dean to room with me?" "I don't know any such person," denied Grace, laughing merrily at Emma's remarkable self-arraignment.
You saw no quality of any sort, indeed, just working people sitting in dull rows with nothing to stare at but a few young bouncing females in pot hats, riding astride, or desultory Colonials charging up and down on dismal-looking hacks; with, here and there, little girls on ponies, or old gentlemen jogging their livers, or an orderly trying a great galumphing cavalry horse; no thoroughbreds, no grooms, no bowing, no scraping, no gossip nothing; only the trees the same the trees indifferent to the generations and declensions of mankind.
But it almost seems as though the modest greatness of a Strauss and the vain insignificance of a Gervinus were only too well able to harmonise: then long live all those Blessed Ones! may we, the rejected, also live long, if this unchallenged judge of art continues any longer to teach his borrowed enthusiasm, and the gallop of that hired steed of which the honest Grillparzer speaks with such delightful clearness, until the whole of heaven rings beneath the hoof of that galumphing enthusiasm.
"You were interesting that day, Jerry." "Was! I like that." "So elephantine in your seriousness " "Elephantine! Oh, I say " "But you were nice. I don't think I've ever liked you so much as then. I think you're really much more interesting when you're elephantine. It was quite glorious the way you were planning to go galumphing over all vice and wickedness." He shook his head soberly.
The trouble was, it did not stay little. Baby Karen was only six weeks old, and Marmaduke was only three years; great, splendid fellow though he was at that, and "galumphing round," as his mother said, who read nonsense to Sinsie out of "Wonderland," and the "Looking Glass," upon a stick.
The nearest thing we had to bears were some very fat and friendly woodchucks, who at a little distance, sitting on their haunches, looked very much like small grizzlies. They dug their holes a few yards from the house and sometimes came quite to the back door, probably intending to call, but when we approached them their courage failed and they went "galumphing" back to their houses.
"Not half as glad as I am," replied David, looking at her with a smile. "Speaking of walking," remarked Hippy, "I have decided to go in for a little on my own account. Object, to become a light weight. Is there any one who will encourage me in this laudable resolution, and beguile me while I go 'galumphing' over the ground?"
It's the padded underjacket for grandma. Tell her I I sent it to her, Herm with with love." "Yes, Sadie." She was frankly crying now, edging her way through the crowd, running in little quick steps to match her pace to his. At the trainside, during the business of ticket inspection, she stood by, her palm pat against her mouth and tears galumphing down.
