Albert's labors for Z. Snow and Co. prevented his attending the noon gatherings his grandfather usually got the morning mail but he early formed the habit of sauntering "down street" in the evening if the weather was not too cold or disagreeable. There he was certain to find groups of South Harniss youth of both sexes, talking, giggling, skylarking and flirting.
"With Sam in the company as private this begins to look like a family affair." "Oh, I'm going to make you fellows toe the mark now," laughed Dick. "No more skylarking, if you please, Lieutenant Rover." "All right, Captain Rover," replied Tom, with a stiff salute that was side-splitting. Taking it all the way through the election was declared to be a popular success.
I quickly followed suit, and descending into the bar-room accosted the grinning landlord very pleasantly. I cherished no malice towards him, though he had been skylarking with me not a little in the matter of my bedfellow. However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more's the pity.
Tom took his whipping and went back to his seat not at all broken-hearted, for he thought it was possible that he had unknowingly upset the ink on the spelling-book himself, in some skylarking bout he had denied it for form's sake and because it was custom, and had stuck to the denial from principle.
I guess it would be a sort of curiosity in England." Dol whooped his delight. "I'll put it under a glass shade! I'll" While he was casting about in his mind for some way of immortalizing that bit of white bark, Doc's genial bluster was heard again, "Come! come! you fellows! No more skylarking in this camp to-night! It's high time for all campers to be snoring. Turn in! Turn in!"
On his return to the boat, Christy found his crew in excellent order, for he had instructed Flint to allow no noise or disorder, as sailors and young men generally are somewhat given to skylarking when not under the eye of a commissioned officer. Christy took his place with Flint in the stern sheets of the boat, and ordered Beeks, who was acting as coxswain, to shove off and give way.
The place was located on the Rocky River, which, ten miles below, flowed into a beautiful sheet of water called Lake Cameron. To those who have read a previous volume of mine entitled, "Four Boy Hunters," the lads skylarking in the snow need no special introduction.
He repeated this action, and made me fear our half-dozen of champagne would not last out. I tried to keep a bottle back, but Lupin got hold of it, and took it to the side-table with Daisy and Frank Mutlar. We went upstairs, and the young fellows began skylarking. Carrie put a stop to that at once. Stillbrook amused us with a song, "What have you done with your Cousin John?"
Mr J ," continued the first-lieutenant to Jerry, who was walking up and down to leeward, followed by a large Newfoundland dog, "is it your watch?" "Yes, sir," replied Jerry, touching his hat. "Then why are you skylarking with that dog?" "I am not skylarking with the dog, sir. He follows me up and down. I believe he takes me for a bone."
Before he had been clothed in sailor fashion, Jocko used to be very fond of skylarking with the men forward, stealing their mess utensils and scampering up and down the rigging to evade pursuit when his mischievousness had been found out; but, after that period, he seemed to become possessed of a wonderful amount of dignity which made him give up his wild frolicsomeness, and leave off his previous habits, for he never went to the forecastle again, but restricted himself to the officers' quarters aft.
