She pirouetted to her father's side of the table. "Give me a dollar, pa?" Mrs. Binswanger held out a remonstrating hand. "Ach, Ray, you mustn't " "It ain't even seven yet. Have a heart, ma! Gee! can't I walk up to the corner with Bella Mosher for a soda? Do I have to stick round this fuss nest? I'll be back in a half-hour, ma. Please?" "Don't let her go, ma." "You shut up, Izzy!" "Ach, Ray, I "
Sue giggled as she pirouetted back and forth. "Decided about the club yet, Blue Bonnet?" "Not yet," Blue Bonnet said. She wondered if her face betrayed lack of interest. The thought of the club had entirely passed out of her mind. "What do you call this club, Sue?" Sue took a whirl and a glide and stopped at Blue Bonnet's side. "The Ancient Order of Lambs," she said, and darted off again.
Cigarette was the wildest little baccanal that ever pirouetted for the delight of half a score of soldiers in their shirt-sleeves and half-drunk; she was the most reckless coquette that ever made the roll-call of her lovers range from prince-marshals to plowboy conscripts; she had flirted as far and wide as the butterfly flirts with the blossoms it flutters on to through the range of a summer day; she took kisses, if the giver of them were handsome, as readily as a child takes sweetmeats at Mardi Gras; and of feminine honor, feminine scruples, feminine delicacy, knew nothing save by such very dim, fragmentary instincts as nature still planted in scant growth amid the rank soil and the pestilent atmosphere of camp-life.
It was just such another afternoon when we went again, but this time we took the joyous trolley-car, and bounded and pirouetted along as far as the navyyard of Kittery, and there we dismounted and walked among the vast, ghostly ship-sheds, so long empty of ships.
But Cutty was not aware that it was no longer in his head but in his heart. "Breakfast is served, Your Highness," he announced with a grave salaam. Kitty pirouetted. For some reason she could not explain to herself she wanted to laugh, sing, dance. Perhaps it was because she was only twenty-four. Or it might have had its origin in the tonicky awakening among all these beautiful furnishings.
He was very steady and he was usually the wrong way up, hanging by his heels on a swinging trapeze. He had the lives of the others in his hands at every moment. But it was the others who received the applause the nut-cracker girl who pirouetted, and the vain man who tapped his chest and smiled condescendingly.
"Some of it was splendid; but a good deal of it made me want to go under the seat. People seemed to like it, but I don't think it was proper." As Polly freed her mind, and emphasized her opinion with a decided rap of the boot she had just taken off, Fanny laughed, and said, while she pirouetted about the room, like Mademoiselle Therese, "Polly was shocked, grandma.
The children all went to bed readily enough, they were so very tired, even though they had to go in this strange array. All but the fairies they danced and pirouetted and would not be still. "We want to swing on the blades of grass," they kept saying, "and play hide-and-seek in the lily-cups, and take a nap between the leaves of the roses."
Watching his chance, he waylaid Helen when her vigilant chaperon was momentarily absorbed in a suggestion that private theatricals and the rehearsal of a minuet would relieve the general tedium while the snow held. "Spare me five minutes, Miss Wynton," he said. "I want to tell you something." Mrs. de la Vere pirouetted round on him before the girl could answer.
'You be a plaguey pair, you b'ys! was the unfailing greeting of Binks, when he encountered Geoff and Alick Carnegy. 'Come, you shut up, Binks! You surely would not have us a couple of mincing girls peacocking round in this fashion, would you now? And the captain's boys affectedly pirouetted up and down on the shingle below the low wall of the Vicarage garden, laughing boisterously the while.
