Around and around on the board spun the top, looking like a pinwheel on the night before Fourth of July, and Curly's sore arm began to feel better all at once.

I knowed wan iv thim gun twirlers wanst. He was a burrd pluggin' tomatty cans an' such a fair wonder he was.

Then how thankful the girls were to the brave soldiers. Oh, everything turned out just right, I'm glad to say. That afternoon Buddy and his chums had more Fourth of July fun, and Brighteyes and her friends played with their dolls. And they even had a lightning-bug pinwheel. Oh, it was the nicest Fourth of July that ever was!
Prillie Rogerson fainted and Annetta Bell went into hysterics. It seemed a long time, although it was really only a few minutes, before the last pinwheel subsided. Anne, recovering herself, sprang to open doors and windows and let out the gas and smoke which filled the room.
He made a feebly desperate attempt to use his trail-pole; and the next second all that Geraldine could see of the episode was mercifully enveloped in a spouting pinwheel of snow.

"Yes, I don't think I've ever been around so much in a week before," said Townsend; "I feel like a pinwheel." "Or a top," said Brownie. "Something like that," said Townsend. "Well, Joe, what do you think of us?" he added, sprawling on the ground as was his wont. The others began preparations for supper. "How about some spaghetti?" Roly Poly asked. "Could you eat some spaghetti?"
"But even so, there remains the difficulty of my putting myself into words." "Silly boy," said Mrs. Severance easily, and Oliver noted with fresh amazement that the term seemed to come from her as naturally and almost conventionally as if she had every legal American right to use it. "Let me, dear." And Oliver felt his head begin to go round like a pinwheel.
The minnow monopolist jerked his lines clear of impending entanglement and scowled. "Take in slack, boy, take in slack," shouted the southerner. John's fingers spun around like a paper pinwheel. Again the line tightened and again the carp turned to the shore.
