He started to school and had the luck of coming upon Becky Thatcher at the head of Meadow Lane. His mood always determined his manner. Without a moment's hesitation he ran to her and said: "I acted mighty mean to-day, Becky, and I'm so sorry.
Lucy Jones, lighthearted tourist, thought the lunch awfully jolly in the shade of the tomb, in fact, she made it a riotous feast, with the help of others as young and non-temperamental as herself. After all, what did it matter?
O'Riley followed at a more reasonable rate, and in a few minutes the crew of the Dolphin were seated at supper in the cabin, eating with as much zest, and laughing and chatting as blithely as if they were floating calmly on their ocean home in temperate climes. Sailors are proverbially lighthearted, and in their moments of comfort and social enjoyment they easily forget their troubles.
I gave her a comfortable home, such as she hadn't known for years; for a reward she mocked at my plain tastes and quiet ways but I thought no ill of it could see nothing in it but a girlish, lighthearted sort of way that seemed one of her merits.

Like a court jester, he kept the outfit in fine spirits and was the butt of all jokes.
"I thought you were too old a soldier to nurse such fancies upon the eve of battle. I must confess that I, who am a novice in this work, am as restless and nervous as a woman; but you have been seasoned by a Mexican campaign, and I came to you expressly to be laughed into fortitude again." "You must go on till you meet one more lighthearted than myself," answered the other, with a sigh. "Ah!
