As they approached, the dogs all sprang forward and gamboled around them. They played with them for a time, and then joined us with countenances full of health and glee. Sophia, the eldest, was the most lively and joyous, having much of her father's varied spirit in conversation, and seeming to catch excitement from his words and looks.
As I was conducted from the bureau I asked him point-blank: "How long am I to stay here?" to which he answered "Oh, peutetre un jour, deux jours, je ne sais pas." Two days in a gendarmerie would be enough, I thought. We marched out. Behind me the bedslippered rooster uhahingly shuffled. In front of me clumsily gamboled the huge imitation of myself. It descended the terribly worn stairs.
Then she looked up proudly. "My brother has spoken. It is well. He shall have his dime novel. He shall know the kind of hairpin his sister Mushymush is." And she arose and gamboled lightly as the fawn out of his presence. In two hours she returned. In one hand she held three small flaxen scalps, in the other "The Boy Marauder," complete in one volume, price ten cents.
But the goats were well pleased with the rich green grass of the alp, and were unwilling to leave the pasture. They frisked and gamboled and stood on their hind legs butting each other playfully, and it was some time before Seppi and Bello could get them fairly started.
His poor brain understood that there was no difference between the monotonous unchanging screech of a turning wheel and the shrill voice of a prostitute. And this evening he dreamed vaguely of the time when he had been a little colt that had gamboled on a smooth field, quite pink amid the green grass, and how his mother had given him to suck. Suddenly he fell stone dead on the slippery pavement.
Monkeys swung above in the ropelike tendrils of the rubber-vines, and spotted deer gamboled beneath the shade of mango trees. The brilliant audience listened with bated breath to the dramatic recital of their nation's story.
But Argos was a good shepherd dog and he knew that his first work that morning was to round up the Twins. So he gamboled about on his four clumsy paws and barked. Then, seeing that Dion had no intention of getting up, he seized the sheepskin covers and dragged them to the floor. "Bow-wow," he said. Dion sat up shivering. "Good dog," said Dion, "go away from here; go wake Daphne!"
A gloom that no sun could break had become her shroud. And perhaps again it was that instinct of animal creation, which often is more wonderful than man's reason, that told Kazan what had happened. For he knew now that she was helpless more helpless than the little creatures that had gamboled in the moonlight a few hours before. He remained close beside her all that day.
The whole current of his purpose changed, and as if it had been impossible to drown himself in his bare head, he set out in chase of his hat, which rolled and gamboled away, and escaped from his clutch whenever he stooped for it, till a final whiff of wind flung it up and tossed it over the bridge into the river, where he helplessly watched it floating down the flood, till it was carried out of sight.
Leaping Creek gamboled its tortuous way through the heart of a perfect garden. A veritable Eden thought Stanley Fyles complete to the last detail. But his thought was without cynicism. He had no time for cynicism. Besides, the goal of his career lay yet before him. His thought drifted further. His whole fate had suddenly become bound up in that valley. Nor was the fact without a certain irony.
