"I think I had the pleasure of seeing you at Lady Carton's garden party last July?" she said, courteously. "Oh, dear me, yes! I thought I knew your face. Lady Carton introduced you to me. Lady Carton is a cousin of Colonel Ormonde's." "Oh, indeed! Miss Liddell was not there?" "No; she chose to bury herself by the sea-side for the whole season." Here Katherine returned with the card.
When a proposition for an armistice was made by Bennigsen on June twenty-first, it was not only courteously but impressively accepted, and within a very short time things were moving as if the two emperors were no longer enemies, but rather as if they were already intimate friends, anxious to embrace.
But the lawyers assured her it was quite true. They were very gentle and patient with Mrs. B. and listened courteously to her explanation, and did not dispute her word at all when she explained that Polly and her two boys had paid every cent on the house. It seemed that a trifling little thing like that did not matter.
"Be seated, Miss Minturn," he courteously commanded, as Miss Reynolds excused herself and withdrew, and indicating a chair near the table by which he had been sitting when she entered. Katherine obeyed, feeling strongly attracted to the man by his genial manner, even though she knew that his keen but friendly eyes were intent upon reading what lay beneath her exterior.
Without waiting to be told to sit down, Bochkova sat down immediately after the questioning ceased. "Your name?" asked the presiding justice of the third prisoner. "You must rise," he added, gently and courteously, seeing Maslova still in her seat.
"Would you think me inexcusably rude," she said softly, "if I asked who you are?" The descending man snatched off his hat, stared, seemed on the point of whistling, then, recovering himself, said courteously: "I'm George Merrill, advertising manager for the Criterion Clothing Company." "And Mr. Tenney has been doing drawings for you?" "He has. For several years."
He was a recent acquaintance of the family, who felt no great sympathy for him, but who received him courteously more out of respect for his cloth than out of regard for his merits. As he entered, all but the son sprang up and surrounded him with excited exclamations. "Well, have you heard the news? Thank God, it's all ended! The hand of God is in it! What do you think of it all?
The whole mechanism of ringing bells for people, telling them, quite courteously of course, but with no spare words, precisely what she wanted them to do and seeing them, with no words at all of their own, except the barest minimum required to indicate respectful acquiescence carrying out these instructions, was in its novelty, as sensuously delightful a thing to her feelings as the contact with a fine fabric was to her finger-tips.
"I mind me the time," he said courteously, "when Rene did me equal service." "The savages have fled?" "'Twas short, and sweet, Madame, and those who failed to fly are lying yonder." "Yet some among you are hurt?" "Barbeau hath an ugly wound ay, bear him along, lads, and have the cut looked to but as for the rest of us, there is no serious harm done."
Having thanked her for the important information given, Judge LeMonde courteously led her to the door and bade her good evening. Early next morning he took steps to profit by what he had heard. He sent his son George to tell Jasper Very the news while he himself rode to the county seat to notify the sheriff and revenue officers of the outlaw's rendezvous.
