"Running in wild capers" means running happily with excitement
Explanation:
- The chapter describes a child who went to the fair with his parents
- The child was so happy and excited to see different things at the fair e.g. flowers, insects, birds and toys etc.
- Initially he wanted to buy toys but he knew his parents would act typically.
- When he asked for toys his parents diverted his attention by taking him to a shade of a grove where he saw dove and ran away with excitement to catch them which the author has expressed as, "running in wild capers"
