As the "Two Marys" sped seaward, Polly Potter and her three children were seen waving their adieus from a neighboring height.
Marmaduke had, only she was sincere. Then the mate came, with his hand to his cap, respectfully to inform visitors that the anchor was up and down. Albeit my spirits were low, 'twas no small entertainment to watch the doctor and his rivals at their adieus. Courtenay had at his command an hundred subterfuges to outwit his fellows, and so manoeuvred that he was the last of them over the side.
You may meet with a thousand mere acquaintances, before you find another who shall have the same profound respect for your many virtues, as myself." This was handsomely said, too; and it caused Mary Wallace to remove the handkerchief from her eyes, and to utter her adieus cordially, and with some emotion.
"Well," replies Laura, rising, "I suppose the best wish of all is that you may not regret your step in haste." "It was not so hasty as that," and he laughs, with the flavor of one who has won. Laura makes her adieus coldly, feeling outgeneralled by his evident determination not to be put down. "What are we to do?" she asks of madame, half an hour later.
September the fifteenth the day of separation arrived. They were to march at eight in the morning; and left home, therefore, at seven. This was so far fortunate that it left less time for the painful adieus. Captain Barclay had a long talk with the boys the night before, repeating all the hints and instructions which he had before given them. It is not necessary to describe the parting.
Then with a manful effort to be just and generous, he added heartily, "Say no more, he deserves you; I want no sacrifice to duty; I yield, and go away, praying heaven to bless you now and always." He kissed her hand and left her to seek my lady and make his adieus, for no persuasion could keep him.
Dodge made his adieus hurriedly, walking up the ballroom just ahead of Furlong, who also had observed. Bert felt sure so many of his comrades had seen and enjoyed his plight that his fury was at white heat as he stepped just outside the ballroom. Furlong came after him, looking at him quizzically. "We staggers have a hard time of it, eh, Dodge?" grinned Mr. Furlong.
"My love makes me wish to accompany you, but my duty compels me to remain with my tribe. On our hearts your images will remain engraved as long as they beat with life." She, with all her people, attended them to the beach, as they put off towards the ship, which lay at anchor in the harbour. As long as any object was visible on the shore, Cora was seen waving her adieus.
Depositing on his majesty's floor the appurtenances of the regal supper-table, Mim made his respectful adieus and disappeared; meanwhile the queen scattered some fresh straw over a mattress in the narrow chamber, and, laying over all a sheet of singularly snowy hue, made her guest some apology for the badness of his lodging; this King Cole interrupted by a most elaborately noisy yawn and a declaration of extreme sleepiness.
When alone, the conversation, the adieus of the lovers, were not long; they both wept, looked at each other, and were silent. Yet how many things had they to say to each other, how many promises to renew, how many hopes and fears to exchange! They parted; Edoardo pleased with himself, and Sophia dissatisfied with him and herself, without knowing why.
