A simple case may be seen in so small a thing as the habit of leaping in play; the difference, for example, between the mountain goat and the common fawn. The former, when playing on level ground makes a very ludicrous exhibition by jumping in little up-and-down leaps by which he makes no progress.
But while she saw the real happening, in her eyes was also the vision of her father dealing the spectral blow that had smashed Comanche down in mid-leap and sent horse and rider hurtling over the edge. Beneath horse and man the steep terminated in an up-and-down wall, from the base of which, in turn, a second slope ran down to a second wall.
There was the same old-fashioned, soft gray silk with up-and-down stripes spotted with sprigs of flowers, the lace cap with its frill of narrow pink ribbons and two wide pink strings that fell over the shoulders, and the handkerchief of India mull folded across the breast and fastened with an amethyst pin.
"It would be the kind thing before you spread evil reports," I murmured in a tone of gentle rebuke. So the woman polished her nose glasses and read a double sheet of long up-and-down calligraphy that is, she read until she exploded in triumphant retort: "Ha! There now! Don't I know a thing or two?

Augustine and Tallahassee forest road crosses the river. At this lonely place an old man, now dead, owned a subterranean spring, which he called "Mediterranean passage." This spring is powerful enough to run a rickety, "up-and-down" saw-mill. The great height of the water allowed me to paddle into the mill with my canoe.
Something yachty, if I may suggest. . . . I've a neat thing here in yachting caps." Mr Benny selected and displayed one, turning it briskly in his hands. "The Commodore. There's a something about that cap, sir, a what shall I say? a distinction. Or, if you prefer a straight up-and-down peak, what about the Squadron here?
"My brand is the TJ up-and-down. We never call it just the TJ." "Oh," said Lorraine, relieved. "They weren't talking about you, then. But dad it's horrible!
