He seemed to realize, at a glance, that Cyril was an invalid and helpless and at a physical disadvantage. And, as ever toward the feeble, his big nature went out in friendly protection to this gangling wisp of impishness. Which was all the good it did him. In fact, it laid the huge collie open to an endless succession of torment.
The little scamps were safe until they should perform some new and unexpected act of impishness. They retired to one end of the piazza, and busied themselves in experiments upon a large Newfoundland dog, while I, the happiest man alive, talked to the glorious woman before me, and enjoyed the spectacle of her radiant beauty.

Another man had forestalled his fame by a period of about six weeks. Then the youth found that the goddess Philosophy, to whom he had vowed to dedicate his whole life, would not in return support him through a single hour of despair. In truth, the impishness of circumstance was newer to him than it would have been to a philosopher of threescore-and-ten.
"You don't know my name," he said, with a return of impishness, as we walked together towards the Contessa. "I think that you have the advantage of me in that way, now." "If you call it an advantage.

"What's impish?" demanded the Babe. "Goodness me!
"For heaven's sake keep quiet, and I'll let you have your way," Sheldon cried. "I never saw a fool so bent on his folly. What kind of a duel shall it be? There are no seconds. What weapons shall we use?" Immediately Tudor's monkey-like impishness left him, and he was once more the cool, self-possessed man of the world.
Patricia said impatiently. "I don't for a moment question that your wife is an angel." "And why?" His eyebrows lifted, and he smiled. "Why, wasn't it an angel," Patricia queried, all impishness now, "who kept the first man and woman out of paradise?" "If if I thought you meant that !" he cried; and then he shrugged his shoulders.
Of this droll impishness of the mind, even in this carriage to-day, with these animated companions, and in all this tribulation, ruin, and flight, here was a harrying instance: that every minute or two, whatever the soul's outer preoccupation or inner anguish, there would, would, would return, return and return the doggerel words and swaggering old tune of that song abhorred by the gruff General, but which had first awakened the love of so many hundreds of brave men for its brave, gay singer now counted forever lost: "Ole mahs' love' wine, ole mis' love' silk "
