The men were oblivious of their wives as they gave the social passwords of Main Street, the orthodox opinions on weather, crops, and motor cars, then flung away restraint and gyrated in the debauch of shop-talk.
A jazz band was in full swing; on the polished section of the floor in the center, a packed mass of humanity swirled and gyrated and wriggled in the contortions of the "latest" dance, and laughed and howled immoderately; and around the sides of the room, the waiters rushed this way and that amongst the crowded tables, mopping at their faces with their aprons.
Home the big one staggered, reeled, gyrated, and tumbled; round and round him went the little one, now behind, now before, now on this side, now on that, his feet never more than touching the ground but dancing about like those of a prize-fighter, his little arms up and his hands well forward, like flying buttresses.
The curtain was a ferment shifting, mercurial; it throbbed with desire, palpitated with eagerness. "Not enough!" murmured Norhala. Her lips parted; from them came another trumpeting tyrannic, arrogant and clangorous. Under it the curtaining writhed out from it spurted thin cascades of cubes. They swarmed up into tall pillars that shook and swayed and gyrated.

In the harness stood, or rather gyrated, Boyar and Collie's own pony Apache.
Who is that shooting-star?" The planet in question gyrated towards them, dropped on one knee on the platform for the relief of strained ankles, and, as she addressed Mrs. Rolleston, caught a look of decided admiration on Bertie's face. A Canadian girl is nothing if not self-possessed; she sustained the gaze with the most perfect calmness. "Bluebell, this is my brother, Captain Du Meresq.
Young ladies warbled, comic acrobats squirted siphons at each other and kicked each other in the stomach, jugglers threw plates and brass balls with dizzying skill, the famous dancers gyrated pyrotechnically, the house applauded with delight, Agatha laughed and chuckled and clapped her hands and I remained silent, unnoticed and unnoticing in my reflective corner, longing for the foolery to end.
Again the head, and then the shoulders, of the swimmer were seen; and as if something dragged the torso below, two legs shot out from the water, gyrated spasmodically, and disappeared.
