"We rode and tied," said Garrick sportively in after years of prosperity, when he spoke of their humble wayfaring. "I came to London," said Johnson, "with twopence halfpenny in my pocket." "Eh, what's that you say?" cried Garrick, "with twopence halfpenny in your pocket?" "Why, yes; I came with twopence halfpenny in my pocket, and thou, Davy, with but three halfpence in thine."
It was not their way to speak; only the gay calico ponies pranced about and sportively threw back their ears to snap at the horses of the two young men. "'Tis a brave welcome your horses are giving us!" he continued, while the two girls merely looked at one another with perfect understanding. Presently Matoska urged his pony close to the Blue Sky's side.
And the bull ran little races, and capered sportively around the child; so that she quite forgot how big and strong he was, and, from the gentleness and playfulness of his actions, soon came to consider him as innocent a creature as a pet lamb.
The current said: "No, Aladdin, that is not just the place to land; come with me, and bring the boat and the young lady." And Aladdin at once went with the current. "Margaret," he said, "I done my best." He crossed his heart. "I know you done your best, 'Laddin." Margaret's cheeks were on the brink of tears. "I know you done it." They were dancing sportively farther and farther from the shore.
They enter into a movement, and conclude it in so delicate a manner, and play the little notes so sportively under the blunter sounds of the base strings, enlivening with wanton levity, or communicating a deeper internal sensation of pleasure, so that the perfection of their art appears in the concealment of it: "Si lateat, prosit; ferat ars deprensa pudorem."
"What was the name of that Indian king who gave Alexander the Great so much trouble?" "Montezuma," replied Gibbon, sportively. The heedless author was about committing the name to paper without reflection, when Gibbon pretended to recollect himself, and gave the true name, Porus.
The baron brought with him a packet of opened letters; when he saw me alone he wished to retire, for the servants, believing him to be one of the expected guests, had ushered him in. However, I would not permit him to go until the king's arrival; and, half sportively, half seriously, I took from him his letters, protesting I would detain them as hostages for his obedience to my desires.
If it weren't for Dick Burden this England would be making me twenty-one again. You should see, to understand me, all the lovely things fighting sportively for supremacy in these Devonshire hedges; the convolvulus pretending to throttle the honeysuckle; the honeysuckle shaking creamy fists in the faces of roses that push out, blushing in the starlight of wild clematis, white and purple.
'By George! The wrong that was done him filled the young baronet's bosom with indignation. He had intended, he assured himself, to dine at his club, to spend the evening there sportively, to be pleasant among his chosen companions. And now the club was shut up, and Vossner had gone away! What business had the club to be shut up? What right had Vossner to go away?
"What have you done with your wife, young man?" asked his sister Elsie sportively. "We have seen nothing of her since supper." "I left her in her room," he answered in a tone in which there seemed a shade of annoyance. "Have you locked her up there for bad behavior?" asked Rosie, laughing. "Why, what do you mean, Rosie?" he returned, giving the child a half-angry glance, and coloring deeply.
