My uncle said he should never have dreamed there could have been such stirring times in this prosaic nineteenth century as he had, training that dog. Oh, the wild, wild scamperings over the breezy common the dog trying to catch a swallow, and my uncle, unable to hold him back, following at the other end of the chain!
Heeny, whose daily ministrations had once more been prescribed, and asking only that the noise of Paul's play should be kept from her. His scamperings overhead disturbed her sleep, and his bed was moved into the day nursery, above his father's room. The child's early romping did not trouble Ralph, since he himself was always awake before daylight.
"For many centuries the subterranean excavations behind the crypt have been haunted by the Evil One and his coadjutors, who break forth from time to time in unearthly noises, racings, scamperings, moanings and yellings, and scarcely a man, woman or child in the vicinity but has heard them with their own veritable ears.
She told us some of the most vivid events of their scamperings over Europe Francezka looking away meanwhile to avoid seeing me smile, and sometimes covering her face with her mantle to smother her merriment.
It became the face of "brother," the black-haired, blue-eyed big boy who rollicked on the floor with or danced him on his knee to This is the way the lady rides! Tritty-trot-trot; tritty-trot-trot! Or who, returning from school and meeting his faltering feet in the lane, would toss him up on his shoulder and canter him home with mad, merry scamperings.
Every evening, after sundown, there were mysterious bursts of laughter and tiny scamperings around doors, and great balls of bloom swinging from the latchets when they were opened; but no person in sight, only soft gurgles of mirth and delight sounded around a corner of darkness. After Charlotte went to bed that night she thought she heard somebody at the south door.
Forbidden to enlarge one, Bobby could only poke his indignant muzzle into apertures, and brace himself as for a fray. And, at the very smell of him, there were such squeakings and scamperings in hidden runways as to be almost beyond a terrier's endurance. The Lord Provost watched him with an approving eye.
In the early "cloth-and-papered" houses so called because the ceilings were not plastered, but simply covered by stretched and whitewashed cloth their scamperings were plainly indicated in zigzag movements of the sagging cloth, or they became actually visible by finally dropping through the holes they had worn in it!
We had not been there long when we saw Father Xavier the sceptic I told the signor about enter the church with two assistants armed with crowbars and pickaxes, and proceed immediately to the crypt, where no doubt could exist as to the noises at that moment, as the yellings, scamperings and scramblings were loud enough in all conscience.
It is a sweet walk for lovers, and was so for us; although J , with his scramblings and disappearances, and shouts from above, and headlong scamperings down the precipitous paths, occasionally frightened his mother.
