Under the impulse of lightheartedness, caused by the feeling that his labours for the time were nearly ended, and that his reward was about to be reaped, he went about with irresistible energy, like the proverbial bull in a china shop, without reaching that creature's destructive point.
The girl had seemingly grown almost lighthearted. Her speech was punctuated by little smiles, and her half sad, half gay demeanor bewitched me. I felt sure that what little suggestion of lightheartedness had come into her mood had come because she had at last confessed the falsehood she had told, and her freed conscience gave her a little buoyancy of heart.
How the good-natured crowd, easily pleased, gathers round the Ethiopian troubadour, trolling in unison his amorous catches! Daisy, Daisy, donne-moi ta reponse. And hark! Do you not hear in the distance the squeak of Puncinello? Ah! why have we none of this happy carelessness in England? we who take our pleasures moult tristement why have we not this lightheartedness, this camaraderie of enjoyment?
Its extreme height drew from the Doctor whose patriotism and loyalty had been excited the remark that he would cut down the tallest palmyra for his flagstaff, as it was not fitting that the British flag should be so much lower than that of the United States.

The study-hour over, they gathered in groups, chatting together on such themes as school-girls find most interesting, one or another now and then looking askance at Lulu, who sat at a distance, lonely and forlorn, watching them and half-envying their apparent gayety and lightheartedness. How she longed for Evelyn, Grace, Max; even Rosie and the grown up-people at Viamede!
Who shall say that while he made a show of enjoying himself nightly with his accustomed lightheartedness in the Tenderloin, he did not feel confident that in the end this peril would disappear like the others which had from time to time threatened him during his criminal career? But Hummel was fully aware of the tenacity of the man who had resolved to rid New York of his malign influence.
The less prosperous blacks, together with such of their mulatto confrères as were similarly inert, had the satisfaction at least of not being slaves; and those in the South commonly shared the humorous lightheartedness which is characteristic of both African and Southern negroes.
But not much was there of singing, nor of any other show of lightheartedness, aboard the Hurst Castle during the next twelve hours.
Nor is it the less astonishing thing about them that, beneath all this seeming lightheartedness and jollity, there often lies smouldering a Fire of the Fiercest passion and blackest revenge.
