"Or-r righ'," said the store-keeper, with a hand-wave of good-natured confidence. He recognized Mr. Raphael Ristofalo's species. The Italian walked up across Poydras street, saw Richling stop and look at the machinery, approached, and touched him on the shoulder. On parting with him he did not return to the store where he had left the apples.
Goring to the gangway; she in turn called Miss Sheldon, and before Barry could prevent their going, they had stepped ashore and departed in different directions. As they separated, Mrs. Goring spoke to the girl and then hurried away with a cordial hand-wave and a very softened smile.
But Lena shrugged her shoulders and pouted as the door shut and she idly watched her husband's final hand-wave. He walked down town and the fresh northern air set his pulses quickening. He noted how few gray heads there were, how full everything seemed of the vitality of youth. On the piazzas were groups of happy well-kept children, bundled up for winter play and bubbling over with exuberance.
Another hand-wave came from Mavis at the edge of the woods, and glowering Jason stood in full view unseen and watched Gray Pendleton go thundering past him down the road. Mavis had not gone to see Marjorie she had sneaked away to meet Gray; his lips curled contemptuously Mavis was a sneak, and so was Gray Pendleton.
For this reason, and because, when all is said, blood is much thicker than water, Blount made as if he did not see the beckoning hand-wave from the depths of the big chair in the smokers' alcove; ignored it, and with set lips and burning eyes made for the nearest elevator to take refuge in his room.
I want you to feel that if anything does happen, if by any mischance things should take a turn for the worse, or you're worried in any way about the outcome of all this" he indulged in a quiet but comprehensive hand-wave which embraced the entire ranch that lay in the gray light at our feet "I want you to feel that I'd be mighty happy to think you'd turn to me for for help."
With a smile and a farewell hand-wave, Alec mounted a troop horse and rode away with Beaumanoir in the direction of the university. Stampoff looked after him with an expression of utmost dismay on his weatherbeaten face. "Gods!" he muttered. "A wife, and a pretty foreigner too, that is a bird of another color! What will Prince and Princess Delgrado say now, I wonder?
There was a courteous hand-wave of welcome from Major Dabney, but Miss Euphrasia seemed not to see him. He saw and understood, and was obstinately impervious to the chilling east wind in that quarter. It was with Ardea that he must make his peace, and he settled himself to wait for his opportunity. It bade fair to be a long time coming.
His letter to the woman of violet eyes, written a week ago, in the half-formed idea of sending it some day. He read it through, and then paused and looked at Nalia. She raised her head and smiled. Slowly, piece by piece, he tore it into tiny little squares, and, with a dreamy hand-wave, threw them away.
The great estates to Klaus; the treasures of the sea Körg shall know, to-night!" And, with a hand-wave, the elf led the way over the rough cliffs, Körg mutely following. He paused at the base of a hillock, shaped like a horseshoe a spot which Körg knew well a place of rocks, reefs, and general ill-report. "The time is favorable," muttered the little man, "my children are hungry, to-night."
