"Well, I can't explain why it is funny; but you really are simply killing sometimes," said Christopher graciously. The next day, and on many succeeding ones, Elisabeth duly visited Jemima Stubbs and the invalid boy, although Christopher entreated her not to worry herself about them, and offered to go in her place.
Also that next day McGlynn was summoned by Geary, then postmaster, to account for his share in the row; and that in the end Geary apologized and was graciously forgiven by McGlynn! I can well believe it. We found Yank and Talbot still at the edge of the hotel veranda. "Look here, Tal!" said Johnny at once.
With the casual confidence that was one of his assets Dave swung from his horse and greeted the ranchman. "'Lo, Hart! Can we roost here to-night? My friend got thrown and hurt his shoulder. He's all in." The suspicious eyes of the nester passed over Beaudry and came back to Dingwell. "I reckon so," he said, not very graciously.
"Oh, little one! It seemed as if thou wert gone forever!" Jeanne hugged her foster mother in a transport of joy and affection. What if Pani had not cared for her all these years?

Many a bird has picked a bright red berry from a bush, with a feeling of gratitude, no doubt, that his temporal needs are thus graciously supplied. He swallows the sweet husk, and incidentally the seed, paying no attention to the latter, and flies on his way.

Then no appeal to her principles could keep her from peeping through the reading-room door into the rotunda, where the King graciously but speedily dismissed the civic gentlemen and the proprietor, and vanished into the elevator.
To the surprise of every one, Catharine received her as graciously as the rest, and gave her her hand.
