The parson's nimble enough, but he hasn't got much of a leg: it's a bit too thick down'ard, and his knees might be a bit nearer wi'out damage; but he might do worse, he might do worse. Though he hasn't that grand way o' waving his hand as the Squire has." "Talk o' nimbleness, look at Mrs. Osgood," said Ben Winthrop, who was holding his son Aaron between his knees.

Me Dain marched ahead with the ponies, and the three comrades walked behind.

You talk I work. Please begin." I obeyed him, and began. WITH such a man as Miserrimus Dexter, and with such a purpose as I had in view, no half-confidences were possible.
When they fall from the maternal perambulator, they briskly pick themselves up, briskly scramble up a leg and make their way to the top. It is a splendidly nimble and spirited performance.
