When the firm footing at the bottom was reached, he strode out on the little terrace with a quickness and springiness of gait and with glintings of muscular fires that gave the lie to the calm deliberation of his movements on the slide. "Bravo!" Chris shouted across the canyon, clapping his hands.
If part of the circuit has the shape of the letter S, or is a spiral, the natural springiness of the glass will take care of this. If not, the side of the circuit opposite to the joint and parallel to it must be heated also, the two being finally heated together to the softening point after the joint is completed, and then allowed to cool together.
Catching at the branch which was nearest to him, he dropped himself from that height upon the ground; and such was the athletic springiness of his youthful sinews, that he pitched there as lightly, and with as little injury, as the falcon stooping from her wheel.
With open-mouthed admiration the boy watched the frontiersman's long free stride a movement that struck the floor with the springiness of a cat, very different from the flat-footed jar of pedestrians on paved streets. "I won't!" he called after him. "I'd rather see't than a dozen ball-games! I'll look for you, Mister!"
All the light and happiness and springiness were gone. She was almost crying. She still carried the little box in her hand. 'I'm takin' it back, she choked. 'Mother doesn't like it.

He was ushered into Shepler's office after a little delay. The two men shook hands warmly.
A few days after he first heard this strange sound he came face to face with a pair of coyotes that had run with his pack. Their air was one of dejection and there was no springiness in their gait. From their dispirited manner Breed knew that tragedy had overtaken his friends, that some calamity had befallen their pups.
Her limbs were quite as long as those of any of her companions and the fingers and toes, though slenderer, were quite as suggestive of quick and strong grasping capabilities, but there was, with all the proof of springiness and litheness, a certain rounding out. The strip of hair upon her legs below the knees was slight and silken, as was also that upon her arms.
"She is going away," he told himself; "she will go to parties, and see other people, and forget me." He tried to dash the bitterness of his heart at the thought, with the sweetness of unselfish love, but it was hard. He plodded on to his work, the young springiness gone from his back and limbs, his face sternly downcast. As for Lucina, she was in reality leaving Upham not unhappily.
Two large suit cases were purchased and the recovered articles packed into them. Merry called a cab, and they proceeded uptown. A room was engaged at the Hoffman House, and Morgan reveled in the luxury of a bath and a shave. In due time he appeared clothed in a respectable manner, and looking wonderfully changed. There was color in his cheeks, life in his eyes, and springiness in his step.
