sprite

Once upon a time there was a wicked sprite, indeed he was the most mischievous of all sprites.

And woe betide that sprite who shall be careless or neglectful!

At mid-afternoon I was at my desk, trying to work, and this sprite had been making it impossible for half an hour.

advancing to me eagerly along the causeway seemed the very sprite of Alastor himself!

She seemed rather an airy sprite, which, after playing its fantastic sports for a little while upon the cottage floor, would flit away with a mocking smile.

But as my little conductress, with her hair of gold and her frock of blue, danced before me round corners and pattered down passages, I had the view of a castle of romance inhabited by a rosy sprite, such a place as would somehow, for diversion of the young idea, take all color out of storybooks and fairytales.

Sabor paced back and forth beneath the tree for hours; four times she crouched and sprang at the dancing sprite above her, but might as well have clutched at the illusive wind that murmured through the tree tops.

In the corners where we lay: And each evil sprite that walks by night

She had come dancing up the lane, like a wind-blown sprite, through the mellow sunshine and lazy shadows of the August evening.

It seemed unbelievable that such could be the case, and yet, too, it seemed almost equally unbelievable that this beautiful girl was the same disheveled, half naked, little sprite who skipped nimbly among the branches of the trees as they ran and played in the lazy, happy days of the past.

I knew, by some mysterious mental light, that a great change was taking place in my sweet little friend(for such I loved to think her) and that she was passing from the condition of a mere Outland Sprite into the true Fairy-nature.

In the height of his boisterous merriment, Mr Quilp, having on some pretence dismissed his attendant sprite for the moment, resumed his usual manner all at once, dismounted from his cask, and laid his hand upon the lawyer's sleeve.
