The birds sang above my head so loudly that the boy who was mowing looked up at them. The soldier finished his washing, put on his shirt. He was a Mahommedan, I perceived, because he prayed, very solemnly, his face to the sun, bowing to the ground. The grass fell before the flashing scythe, the sun flamed behind the trees, and I was happy as I had never known happiness in my life before.
Sambo and his brother soon "toted" me to the entrance of the dining-room graceful little beggars they were, too. "Your breakfast is ready, sir," said the head waiter, bowing low. What impelled me to do so I shall never know, but it was an inspiration. I seemed to recognize the man at once, and, as I had frequently done on earth to my own advantage, I addressed him by name.
If we are paying a morning visit, in he comes, "glissarding it" into the drawing-room, and bowing like a dancing-master; nor does he disdain to produce a small book of testimonials, in which the subscribers have agreed to give him a poetic character, and compare him to a torrent, to a nightingale, to an eagle, to an avalanche.
After it was over and they had got the money, he let his gang go on ahead of him while he went back to the wreck of the sleeper. He wanted to make sure that they were dead. Do you see?" "Yes," said Philip tensely, "go on." "And when he got there," continued the other, bowing his head as he filled an old briar pipe with tobacco, "he found some one else.
Clara saw Paul's manner of bowing and shaking hands. "Oh, indeed!" exclaimed Morel. "I am very glad to see you I am, I assure you. But don't disturb yourself. No, no make yourself quite comfortable, and be very welcome." Clara was astonished at this flood of hospitality from the old collier. He was so courteous, so gallant! She thought him most delightful. "And may you have come far?" he asked.
Evremonde, Drummond, Jenny Graine, and William Harvey, rode with Mr. George in quest of the carriage, and the captive was duly delivered over. 'But where's the brush? said Lady Jocelyn, laughing, and introducing him to the Countess, who dropped her head, and with it her veil. 'Oh! they leave that on for my next run, said Mr. George, bowing civilly. 'You are going to run again?
"The favor thou hast done me, O Hadji," he said, dismounted, "is in keeping with the acts of mercy to thy fellow-men with which I hear thou hast paved the road from El Katif as with mother-of-pearl." "Speak not of them, I pray," the Wanderer answered, returning the bow he received. "Who shall refuse obedience to the law?" "I see plainly thou art a good man," the Emir said, bowing again.
She accepted the task imposed on her with a gentle smile, although it was evident that in her quick glance she had summed up the visitor's qualities without much favor for him. While Cantagnac was bowing again and fumbling confusedly with his hat, Rebecca laid the plan on the table and whispered to Clemenceau: "Do you know that she is here again?"
Aye, and where was its beginning? Not here, I think. And where, oh where shall this seed we sow bear fruit? Well, think as kindly of me as you can, since I loved you who love me not." And again bowing, first to her, then to Peter, he passed on, taking no note of Betty, who stood near, considering him with her large eyes, as though she also wondered what would be the end of all this play.
"No excuses are needed, madam," said Tony, bowing; "though I am surprised, I own, that any one should mistake me for an ambassador." Here a wave of mirth again overran Polixena's face. "Oh, sir, you must pardon my poor girl's mistake. She heard you speaking English, and and I had told her to hand the letter to the handsomest foreigner in the church." Tony bowed again, more profoundly.
