whimsically

1 And at times it seems to drift whimsically rather than make clear progress.

2 My uncle was..whimsical, a fanciful old man.

9 To the accompaniment of a jazz quartet, clay model animals whimsically portray evolution in the movie, which lasts just under nine minutes.

10 The same three dancers delivered Hans van Manen’s “Solo”: each solo is a rapid and silly string of whimsically cute effects larded onto Bach music.

11 The restaurant itself is a former construction shack plunked in a parking lot, with whimsically cockeyed vintage chandeliers and red roses in ice buckets.

14 Opera would never again gambol whimsically in the realms of easy allegory.

15 Danceable rhythms and yearning voices drift in and out of the mix, almost whimsically, like restless ghosts in the machine.

16 Reviewing the whimsically titled “Summer Brothers Smothers Show” for The Times, George Gent called Mr. Campbell “a handsome, talented and relaxed host who appeared in complete control of some of the crazy goings-on.”

17 The stories and jargon come straight from the mouths of veterans of the trade at different scales, presented whimsically as video-game levels.

18 But she must do so on her terms, which means invisibly and, needless to say, most whimsically.
