Rushed to the springboard and the leap, always, after the take-off, in mid-air, they had to encounter an assistant who stood underneath, an extraordinarily long buggy-whip in hand, and lashed them vigorously.
Next came the leaping act, somersaulting from a springboard and in the end jumping over the herd of elephants. Teddy was so effectively disguised by his clown makeup that, for some time, the class did not recognize him.
The plump bald sergeant major was testing with his foot the springboard of the vaulting horse. The lean young man in a long overcoat, who was to give a special display of intricate club swinging, stood near watching with interest, his silver-coated clubs peeping out of his deep side-pockets.
Aristas, Rebolledo and Manuel applauded the old circus man's stories, and the apprentice gymnast felt more determined than ever to continue practicing upon the trapeze and the springboard, so that some day he might behold those distant lands of which Don Alonso spoke. A few weeks later there occurred one of the events that left upon Manuel the deepest impression of his entire career.
They let us see that if, at the end of the broad springboard from which life took off, all others came down, finding the cord stretched too high, man alone has leapt the obstacle."

Now we install a patent springboard, with a mechanism like a catapault.
These make the springboard, so to speak, from which man dares to launch himself into that sea of the infinite, which we can neither understand nor measure, but which nevertheless we may perceive and feel, which in some sense we know to be there. So, if we deal first with worship, we are merely beginning at the beginning and starting at the bottom.
Believe me, it ought to be called Black Lake; it isn't very white, that's one sure thing." "That may not happen for a thousand years," Bert said. Jumping jiminy! That was a new one on me. Lakes moving around like people that live in flats good night! And where would Temple Camp be, I'd like to know? And just after we paid four dollars and eighteen cents to put up a springboard.
