"You'll see her scampering up the ladder like a squirrel," said Mrs. Kelso. "She isn't real tame yet." "Perhaps we could hide the ladder," he suggested, with a smile. "Do you play on the flute?" Bim asked. "No," said Mr. Biggs.
I am thankful it is you; I was afraid it might be Mimy Lawson, or Sarah Lowndes, or some of the rest of the set; I know they'll all come scampering here as soon as they hear I'm laid up." "Are you very sick, Aunt Fortune?" said Ellen. "La! no, child I shall be up again to-morrow; but I felt queer this morning, somehow, and I thought I'd try lying down. I expect I've caught some cold."
No sooner had he done this than the whole pack came scampering towards the cage, thinking, doubtless, they had nothing to do but scrunch the bones of the solitary hunter. This was the signal for a regular slaughter.
A bevy of scampering newsboys rushed down the steps, scattering in all directions, yelling, their white papers fluttering.

After the gaming tables were demolished, some of our companions amused themselves by running, and tumbling, and scampering about the ship, disturbing those who were disposed to read, write and study navigation. Not content with this, they hollowed, ridiculed and insulted people passing in vessels and boats up and down the river.
