Kurtz, genial, shrewd, gray, raised admiring eyes from the capering puppy and said: "I'll take another five thousand." But Bob declined. "No, I'm going to work."

"Work is one of the few things I haven't tried.
There was a strong flavour of Coal Tar soap in the café au lait to-day. This morning at dawn I was aroused by a cold foot pawing at my face. Blinking awake, I observed Albert Edward in rosy pyjamas capering beside my bed. "Show a leg, quick," he whispered. "Rouse out, and Uncle will show boysey pretty picture."
Yes; once the gentleman from Cambridge exclaimed that there were some pheasants running across a field below; but upon close investigation they turned out to be a troop of horses capering about in wild dismay. A flock of sheep in another field, huddled close together, looked like a heap of limestone chippings.
"There he is, officer," said Lambert, cheerfully; "we ain't responsible for him." The officer looked at the capering Mr. Quin with a quiet eye.

Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly. This has been always the instinct of Christendom, and especially the instinct of Christian art. Remember how Fra Angelico represented all his angels, not only as birds, but almost as butterflies. Remember how the most earnest mediæval art was full of light and fluttering draperies, of quick and capering feet.
"Hi, you girls!" exclaimed Grant, dashing past them at this moment, after capering about the wagons in a manner calculated to bring down Mrs. Pennypoker's denunciations upon his yellow head. "What makes you so puppywented slow? Come on!" "All right!" And Allie scampered off at his heels, sitting very straight and trim in her pretty new saddle.
