"You ruined half a score of 'em last year with your May-games." "Cab " Here the inexorable tune forced His Worship to face about and twirl his partner. "Cabbages?" he resumed.
His young Queen, and a brilliant court of ladies, attended the pleasure-loving monarch.

The door will be closed upon them as incorrigible and irredeemable; and the saints in heaven will go on singing, and harping, and jigging, regardlesss of these obstinate wretches, these ultimate failures, these lost souls, these everlasting inheritors of perdition. Humanity is growing day by day. So is common sense. Every decently educated person will soon insist on the abolition of hell.
If a rapid "jigging" or up-and-down motion be given to a mixture of such particles, the tendency of the lighter to fly further under the action of the impulse causes them gradually to rise to the upper surface; this surface being free in the present case, and the result being therefore the reverse of what happens in the rotating chamber.
When the sun is high to-morrow a score of barges will vex the sea of Tappan, each crowded with men and maids from New Amsterdam, jigging to profane music and refreshing themselves with such liquors as you, Rambout, never even smelled be thankful for that much.

Jimmy looked down helplessly at the baby's angry red face, but before he had made much headway with the "jigging," Aggie returned to them, much excited by the message which she had just received over the telephone. "That mother is making a scene down stairs in the office," she said. "You hear," chided Zoie, in a fury at Jimmy, "what did Aggie tell you?"

The strangeness of the spectacle gave rise to much comment. The clergymen were anxious to know if the constant jigging was injurious to health. Lennox inquired how much coin they made by their one-leg dancing.
I'll be able to get about without a stick in another month, and then you've got to teach me all the new dances." The jigging music of a two-step floated down the corridor. It made the young man's brow contract, for it brought to him a vision of dead faces in the gloom of a November dusk. He had once had a friend who used to whistle that air, and he had seen him die in the Hollebeke mud.
