He knows, too, that there is a beveled passage leading to a cell in the center and that the outer end of this passage is protected by a membrane window. After some balancing and pirouetting he smashes the window with his bill, runs his long tongue down the passageway, gulps the grub and away he flies to join his comrades down in the birches, chirping gaily as he goes.
The earth's a globe and circle, so everything leads to the same place in the end." "Yes," said Stumper; "thank you" as though he knew it already, but felt that it was neatly put. "Follow up your flash," added the Tramp. "Smell then follow. That is keep on looking." Stumper turned, pirouetting on what the children called his "living leg."
The motions, sometimes approaching the grotesque in the lean and elderly chorus-lady as she bobbed about the limited space, courtesying, twirling, pirouetting, her blonde hair done up in kids, herself in the abbreviated toilet of pink calico sack and petticoat reserved for home hours, changed to unconscious grace and innocent abandon in the light, clean-limbed child, who learned with quickness akin to instinct, and who seemed to follow Norma's movements almost before they were completed.
"This get-up is awful," and the boy looked down with a gesture of disgust on his elegant evening suit. "You'll do beautifully," pronounced Win, pirouetting in front of him, a blithe little fairy, with soft cloudy dress of glistening fabric. "Don't look so fierce, dear boy, however, or you will frighten all the young ladies from your side." Dick struggled into his gloves.
The meeting vividly recalled the ball, the terminus a quo indeed from which the meditation in which he had been plunged since entering the park had started. Between six and seven weeks ago, was it? It might have been a century. He thought of Kitty as she was that night Kitty pirouetting in her glittering dress, or bending over the boy, or holding her face to his as he kissed her on the stairs.
Lots of boys and girls about her own age, in fancy costumes, were dancing and pirouetting in time with the fine music. One little girl, especially, Marjorie admired. She was a pretty child, in a white frock and blue sash, and she wore a wreath of small rosebuds on her curly, flaxen hair.
I can remember when you were not above making love to a pretty girl. You certainly had me worn to a frazzle before we became engaged," said Carley. "Old times! How long ago they seem!... Carley, it's sure wonderful to see you." "How do you like my gown?" asked Carley, pirouetting for his benefit. "Well, what little there is of it is beautiful," he replied, with a slow smile.
The evening was decidedly the best yet, as both averred, pirouetting and spinning and romping through one fox trot and one step after another. The excitement of the music, the general air of exhilaration about the place and their own high-pitched mood made the occasion different from the other gaieties of the week, merrier, madder, a little more reckless.
Whether it was the Indian in them, or the effects of environment, or merely our own imaginations, we both had the same thought that in these strange, taciturn, friendly, smiling, pirouetting little creatures was some eerie, wild strain akin to the woods and birds and animals.
At last he turned round, pirouetting on his heel with a quick movement, and his good looks impressed anew each of the two who sat there with him. Eighty years ago beauty of line and colour were allowed to tell in masculine apparel, and this young Dorset squire delighted in fine clothes.
