I will lead him a dance he little thinks of for I will gallop, quoth I, without looking once behind me, to the banks of the Garonne; and if I hear him clattering at my heels I'll scamper away to mount Vesuvius from thence to Joppa, and from Joppa to the world's end; where, if he follows me, I pray God he may break his neck He runs more risk there, said Eugenius, than thou.
The selfish person is always willing to receive favours, but to the generous "it is more blessed to give than to receive." "Father is coming, father is coming!" shout a merry group of children, as Mr. Wilmot appears around a little knoll, on his return from his business. "Let us run and meet him," and away they scamper over the lawn to see which will get to him first.
There was a scamper to the door the boys first, shouting at the tops of their voices, Cousin Belle next, and Lucy Ann close at her heels. "Who's with him, Lucy Ann?" asked Miss Belle, as they reached the passage-way, and heard several voices outside. "The Cunel's with 'im." The young lady turned and fled up the steps as fast as she could.
Then the King asked his courtiers to whom he should marry Preziosa, as she was the picture of his dead wife. But the instant Preziosa heard this, she slipped the bit of wood into her mouth, and took the figure of a terrible she-bear, at the sight of which all present were frightened out of their wits, and ran off as fast as they could scamper.
Brentham was a great riding family. In the summer season the duke delighted to head a numerous troop, penetrate far into the country, and scamper home to a nine-o'clock dinner. All the ladies of the house were fond and fine horse-women. The mount of one of these riding-parties was magical.
"And enchanted carpets that carry you in a minute to India and Arabia." "Yes, and upstairs to bed! Good-night." "And knights in armor, with glittering spears " "Good-night, Marjorie Maynard!" "Good-night, Father. And rose-gardens with fountains and singing birds " "Skip, you rascal! Scamper, fly, scoot! Good-night for the last time!"
"So I thought so I thought well, then, I was glad yes, really rejoiced at heart, to hear that my countrymen, down-east, there, had made the king's troops scamper," "I am not aware that I used any such terms, sir, in connection with the manner in which we marched in, after the duty we went out on was performed," returned the young soldier, a little stiffly.
At the command "Break ranks" there was a general scamper to engage in the work of getting supper and preparing to spend the night with as much comfort as possible. The members of each mess scattered in all directions for water, rails, straw, etc., while some went out to scour the adjacent region for edibles.
She did not think or care about what he did, so that for this day only he let her be gay and happy. From some incomprehensible cause, his very love seemed to hang over her like a cloud, and so it had been from the beginning. She did so long to dash out into the sunshine of her careless, girlish life, and scamper over the beautiful country with Harrie Dugdale.
I shall only let in, hereafter, that part of it that I choose. When I saw a man looking at me, Aunt Dorrie, where before I had been seeing a doctor, there was nothing to do but scamper. He hadn't the least idea what was happening he saw only the bag of bones that he had rescued, but I wasn't going to let him run any risks. You see, I've learned more than some girls."
