Her mental quality was all in the vein of the friendships of Rousseau and Voltaire, and pleasantly and trippingly she led him along the primrose path of an intellectual liaison. She came first to Matching's Easy, where she was sweet and bright and vividly interested and a great contrast to Mrs.
She spoke the words that she always made use of when taking final leave of a pupil; usually, they came trippingly to her tongue, without the least effort of memory; but this morning they halted; she found herself wondering if her dignity were being compromised in Mavis's eyes.
The Cooloosa River winds through a range of small mountains, passes Okochee and then blends its waters trippingly, as fall the mellifluous Indian syllables, with the Chattahoochee. Okochee rose, as it were, from its sunny seat on the post-office stoop, hitched up its suspender, and threw a granite dam two hundred and forty feet long and sixty feet high across the Cooloosa one mile above the town.
They, no doubt, practised here, as elsewhere, the ranting delivery of their speeches so denounced by Hamlet in his critical address to the Players, whom he admonished to speak "trippingly on the tongue" and not to "out-Herod Herod."

I'm used to brutality. I like it better. Why did he leave the army and why is he in Algiers?" "If you prefer the direct method, my dear Lola," said I and the name came quite trippingly on my tongue "I'll employ it. Your husband has apparently been kicked out of the army and is now running a gambling-hell." She took the blow bravely; but it turned her face haggard like a paroxysm of physical pain.

Fenellan was reading his friend's character by the light of his remarks and in opposition to them, after the critical fashion of intimates who know as well as hear: but it was amiably and trippingly, on the dance of the wine in his veins. His look, however, was one that reminded; and Mr. Radnor cried: 'Now! whatever it is! 'I had an interview: I assure you, Mr.
Joyce looked down happily upon her child. It did not greatly matter, for now Gaston had struck into one of those compelling airs, so intensely sweet and melodious that it all but hurt; and the red sunset trembled as the tear-dimmed eyes beheld it. The tune changed. It danced elfishly, and trippingly for very joy it made one laugh.
After two glasses Susan, warned by a slight dizziness, stopped drinking; Etta followed her example. But the boys kept on, ordered a second bottle. "This is the fourth we've had tonight," said Fatty proudly when it came. "Don't it make you dizzy?" asked Etta. "Not a bit," Fatty assured her. But she noticed that his tongue now swung trippingly loose.
A whistle blew, a voice called "Save it!" and the lights jarred off. Henshaw came trippingly down the line. "You people didn't dance. What's the matter?"
