scurry

Squirrels scurry across the pentagonal deck, a space reserved for guests, holidays, and serious Choi family conversations.

Mrs. Clarke was not a small woman, nor a young one, but she scurried down the ladder as nimbly as a squirrel.

The children scurried to obey, and Penelope could not help thinking that the eagerness and good cheer of her students was the very best present of all.

Penelope scurried to catch up, and when she looked behind her, Old Timothy was gone.

She refused her supper and instead demanded a particular type of marzipan that Mrs. Clarke had to send the young houseboy, Jasper, scurrying all over London to find.
