Before I could reply, the door flew open without the formality of a knock, and old Mrs. Bolum ran in. When she saw him, she stopped and stared. "Well, ain't he tasty!" she cried. Then she courtesied most formally. "How do you do, Mr. Hope?" she said. "And how is Mrs. Bolum?" returned Tim gravely, advancing toward her with his hand outstretched.
He, himself, was enveloped by the hypnotism of the place. Mila spoke: "I fear I must leave you. I am studying to-night and I go early to rest. Pray dine as well as you can, with such a chef." She smiled mischievously at her uncle, courtesied in peasant fashion to the bewildered Gerald, who put out his hand, fain to touch hers, and disappeared. The prince gazed inquiringly at the young man.
Let Mademoiselle Melanie know that I particularly wish to have an interview with her. I must see her about that unfinished dress which certainly shall not go to New Orleans." She courtesied once more very profoundly to Mrs. Gilmer and departed, quite forgetting Lord Linden, who was well pleased not to be missed.

Sophie laughed and offered her hand to Otto. Wilhelm turned to Mamsell. "I have brought something for you," said he, "something which I hope may find a place in the work-box a man made of very small mussel-shells; it is from Venice."

Marietta courtesied to the ground. "How do you do, Marietta?" Beatrice asked. "I can't complain, thank your Grandeur.
With these words she courtesied deferentially, and moved away to rejoin her friend. The priest observed that Mademoiselle Virginie lingered rather near, as if anxious to catch a few words of the conversation between Brigida and himself.
What a repulsive spectacle the old woman, utterly bereft of dignity, presented as with solemn mockery she courtesied to Els again and again, as if announcing herself her most humble servant; but the poor child kept silence until Frau Christine herself spoke, and assigned her niece to the place beside Herr Casper's sick-bed, which no one else could fill so well.
"I'll go now for fear of making more trouble for you, but I intend to be your friend, and you shall be mine. When Nelly makes up her mind to have a friend, she always has her way. Good-by, Betty." Betty courtesied, and Nelly left the Old Swan, returning at once to Frances, who was waiting in the barge.
