I ought to have begun them sooner. The Mexican air is depressing, and I find that I am losing my appetite." De Zavala's eyes opened wide while Ned deftly turned a handspring. Then the young American sat down panting, his face flushed with as healthy a color as one could find anywhere. "You'll have an appetite to-night," said Mr. Austin.
All that day Daniel kept a tight clutch on his manners, but the moment the sun went down, he heaved a great sigh of relief and turned three somersaults and a handspring behind the cabin to limber himself up after the fearful strain.
"That blamed Orderly's got a spite at me; he'd keep me on guard every day in the week," grumbled Doolittle. "I was on fatigue dooty only yesterday," protested Fracker, who had to help carry the company rations from the Commissary's tent. "I'm goin' to the Surgeon an' git an excuse," said Gleason, who had sprained his wrist a trifle in turning a handspring. So it went through the whole list.
The prohibition may improve the sugar, but it is cruel to the boy. I think he discovered it as soon as anybody. Perhaps he knew it by a feeling of something starting in his own veins, a sort of spring stir in his legs and arms, which tempted him to stand on his head, or throw a handspring, if he could find a spot of ground from which the snow had melted.
I have on deerskin pantaloons, a deerskin overcoat, a beaver cap and buffalo overshoes; and so, as I tersely observed before, Never mind. Let us laugh the winds to scorn, brave boys! But why is William Glover, driver, lying flat on his back by the roadside; and why am I turning a handspring in the road; and why are the horses tearing wildly down the Wahsatch mountains?

It is because William Glover has been thrown from his seat, and the horses are running away. I see him fall off and it occurs to me I had better get out. In doing so, such is the velocity of the sleigh, I turn a handspring. Far ahead I hear the runners clash with the rocks, and I see Dr. Therefore I do not laugh the winds to scorn as much as I did, brave boys.
He stopped and stared at Hortense as she passed, and Hortense stared back. Then the boy did a handspring and waved his hand. "What's that boy's name?" Hortense asked. Uncle Jonah raised his eyes. "Good fo' nothin'," muttered Uncle Jonah. "Ef I catches him in my o'cha'd ag'in, I'll lambaste him good." "He looks like a nice boy," said Hortense. "Dey ain't no nice boys," said Uncle Jonah.
After every revolution he would stop and turn a handspring. The Malay all the time kept up a droning kind of a song in his native tongue, improvising as he went along. The tenor of it was that one Hamat, a poor Malay, but a good Mohammedan, who had never been to Mecca, wanted to go to become a Hadji. He had no money but he had a good monkey that was very dear to him.
We get no more than a decent handspring or two, an over-elaborated form of split. It all seems to be over with our once so fashionable acrobat. This in itself might be called the modern American school: the elongated and elastic gentleman who finds his co-operator among the thin ones of his race, artistically speaking.
