Then he gave the signal to let out again noting how thick with damp the atmosphere was becoming, and having difficulty with his light. Lower and lower they swung and dropped down into the old shaft and as the rope creaked and crazed above them it lilted: "Choose, choose, wha' you'll tak', Wha' you'll tak', wha' you'll tak', Choose, choose wha' you'll tak', A laddie or a lassie."
But again, on the night air, came the introduction to the little ballad I had already heard her sing in part. Her voice, with its plaintive sweetness, broke into melody. She lilted softly the first verse, and I waited. She sang the second verse. Again I waited, wondering, then hoping and longing that she would continue. The third verse came at last and I regretted its coming.
As a result the patient instrument immediately ceased its complaining tinkle. Hippy, however, lilted on, undisturbed, for a matter of five seconds, when a chorus of threatening protests warned him to cease. "Do be good," admonished Nora, laughing in spite of herself. "Either sing prettily or don't try to sing at all." "Madam, it is not necessary for me to try to sing. Song and I are one.
"Father thinks he's funny," said the girl with fine irony. "I ain't 'alf so funny as that young billy-goat o' yours, my dear," replied the old trainer, and lilted on his way. "It's his foster-ma he takes after. The spit of her, he be." As soon as the foal began to find his legs Boy took him out into the Paddock Close, and later on to the Downs.
Madelon stood up in the little gallery allotted to the violins and lilted, and the march began. Two and two, the young men and the girls swung around the room. Madelon lilted with her eyes upon the moving throng, gay as a garden in a wind; and suddenly her heart stood still, although she lilted on. Down on the floor below Burr Gordon led the march, with Dorothy Fair on his arm.
Young of a reddish face with blue eyes, and he lilted a little on his feet when he was pleased, and cracked his finger-joints. So did his father before him, who was Deputy-Commissioner of Jullundur in my father's time when I rode with the Gurgaon Rissala. My father? Jwala Singh. A Sikh of Sikhs he fought against the English at Sobraon and carried the mark to his death.
"But I don't want to." "Still I think you should consider it. The best legal advice in the world can be bought for money." "I know that." Lifting his eyes in a sharp look, he saw her head lilted back with her own special air of deliberate temerity. "Oh, very well, then," he said, quietly, resuming his scribbling again. After this warning he felt justified in taking her at her word.
A weather-spotting satellite crept across zenith, winking red and green. A skip glider, an orbit-to-ground freight vehicle, possibly loaded with rich metals from the Belt, probably about to land at the New Mexico spaceport far to the west, moved near it. Frank felt a deliciously lonesome chill as he walked through the business section of Jarviston. From somewhere, dance music lilted.
A third spring and the little Carlotta had come. They had both been disappointed at its not being a boy, but the little girl was a wonder, with hair as gold as buttercups, eyes like wood violets and a laugh that lilted and gurgled like the little brook down in the meadow. And then, two years later, the boy had come, come and drifted off to some far place.
"Only way he shows his years he ain't so fond of fallin' as he was. And I don't blame him. Round about forty a man begins to get a bit brittle like." He lilted off after his jockey. Goosey Gander stood stripped of everything but his bridle, with dark flanks and lowered head reaching at his bit. He was a typical Woodburn horse: a great upstanding bay, full of bone and quality. But he showed wear.
