He responded to that note by catching at her gloved hand, and keeping it in his gratefully. "Yes, but it does even more than annihilate space and turn wheels and despatch trains. Think what it's doing with wireless alone! And that is only the beginning!
"Well," he said, at length, "it's more than she deserves; but I don't disguise it's a relief to me. And I must say, in a young lady like you, and and handsome, it shows a Christian spirit." Again Gyp shivered, and shook her head. "It does. You'll allow me to say so, as a man old enough to be your father and a regular attendant." He held out his hand. Gyp put her gloved hand into it.
In ten minutes everything was ready, the seconds on each side drew on their gloves, settled the long visors of their caps well over their eyes, took their blunt rapiers in hand and stepped forward.

Kate rose suddenly, and crossing the room stooped to lay her gloved hand upon Mrs. Toomey's thin shoulders. Looking into her eyes she demanded: "You don't believe I did it, do you?" This was a question Mrs.
Sabine finally thanked him by a gracious smile: her small gloved hand raised the window of the coupé, and the carriage was driven off rapidly, amid the din of horses' hoofs.
