I cannot explain, but I loved you so!" In the silence that fell, she continued her caressing of his hair, while she idly watched a great gray squirrel, boisterous and hilarious, as it scampered back and forth in a distant vista of the redwoods. A crimson-crested woodpecker, energetically drilling a fallen trunk, caught and transferred her gaze. The man did not lift his head.
Again, to my satisfaction, off the creatures scampered; and I hoped that I had seen the last of them. They had not touched the bodies of their companions bitten by the serpent, which had already become putrid.
The Indians had heard these cries, and the formidable party which had been mounting the fagots hurried back, while the last who had been seen approaching retreated. We plied them more rapidly than ever with our musketry. We could hear their chiefs issuing their orders, and in another minute the whole line scampered off and disappeared in the darkness.
They ran together across the grass, but stopped suddenly as they heard the Blackbird's note, and the Blackbird as suddenly ceased singing, for how terrible would it be if they should discover his nest and all his treasures! The sharp eyes of the little boy had already espied him, and the little feet scampered lightly over the ground. The poor Blackbird's heart sank within him.
"Don't be long, papa nobody plays so nicely as you do;" and, nodding and laughing from very glee, away scampered the young fairy. Lord Vargrave turned to his wife. "What think you of my nephew of Lumley?" said he, abruptly. "He seems all that is amiable, frank, and kind." Lord Vargrave's brow became thoughtful.
The living members of Les Amis scampered off as fast as their legs could carry them, while the wounded were left to the care of the shopkeepers, and the dead were abandoned where they fell until further aid should come. It was all too horrible! I felt terribly agitated, and, moreover, deadly sick. My one thought was to reach my carriage and get home as quickly as possible.
"Of course Old Mother Nature knows, but just the same it is hard for me not to believe that Teeny Weeny is a member of the Mouse family," said Happy Jack Squirrel to Peter Rabbit, as they scampered along to school. "I never have had a real good look at him, but I've had glimpses of him lots of times and always supposed him a little Mouse with a short tail. It is hard to believe that he isn't."
She turned in back of the big barn, then ran over behind the ice-house, and then she smelled apples, ripe apples. "There are harvest apples around here, somewhere," she told herself. "I simply must find them." From tree to tree she scampered along until she was out in the lane that ran into the next estate. "That's a road," she was thinking. "And there's a man."
He had removed his pajama jacket one day to bathe in a little stream that was too small to harbor crocodiles, and while he and Akut had been disporting themselves in the cool waters a monkey had dropped down from the over hanging trees, snatched up the boy's single remaining article of civilized garmenture, and scampered away with it.
"Now," she said briskly, "it is milking time. Run down the lane, children, and let the bars down for the cows to come through the lot; and we will give them a good drink of water." Away scampered Joyce and Don; and soon the cows were standing at the trough and Grandpa was pumping water for them. "Let us pump!" cried Joyce.
