The foremost vessel of the fleet replies to these noisy compliments by a salute of its one gun, and mayhap throws in two or three bombs, according to the liberality of the salutation ashore. At the larger towns the amount of gunpowder burned and noise created is something wonderful.
He knew now that he had made a mistake, that he had entered the wrong house; and naturally his impulse was to continue his descent and secure his retreat. But the pause had brought the two men who had entered face to face with him, and they showed no signs of giving way. On the contrary. "The room is above, Monsieur," the foremost said, in a matter-of-fact tone, and with a slight salutation.
Now, then, for our twice-wounded volunteer, our young centurion whose double-barred shoulder-straps we have never yet looked upon. Let us observe the proprieties, however; no swelling upward of the mother, no hysterica passio, we do not like scenes. A calm salutation, then swallow and bold hard. That is about the programme. A cottage of squared logs, filled in with plaster, and white-washed.
The old man rang out the loyal salutation spiritedly, and awoke a prompt response from the mountaineer, who sounded his voice wide in the keen upper air. "There's the heart of that fellow!" said Agostino. "He has but one idea his king! If you confound it, he takes you for an enemy. These free mountain breezes intoxicate you. You would embrace the king himself if you met him here."
As soon as this slight salutation had passed, Montcalm moved toward them with a quick but graceful step, baring his head to the veteran, and dropping his spotless plume nearly to the earth in courtesy. If the air of Munro was more commanding and manly, it wanted both the ease and insinuating polish of that of the Frenchman.
Madame de Maintenon, on leaving us, made quite a deep courtesy to my sister, which caused me pain, preserving an icy gravity and exaggerating her salutation and her courtesy. When we were alone, I confessed to the Marquise de Thianges that her words had passed all bounds, and that she could have reached her end by other means. "I cannot endure that woman," she answered.
While we were standing there the matting of the window was pushed aside, and Fitz came softly into the dimly lighted room. He glanced at me, but attempted no sort of salutation. I saw him exchange a long silent look with Elsie, and then he took his station at the bedside next to Elsie, and opposite to the brigadier, who never looked up.
That the old order was changed I knew, but I was only then beginning to realise the ruthlessness with which it had been swept away, and how much it had given place to the new. The man who stood before me, peering dully through the gloom, had at least remained constant to his vows, and I made the salutation before him with a feeling of respect. His name was Ro, and I remembered him well.
There was not a word in the missive for her not even in the salutation had she a share and it would have been so easy to have written "and to thine, peace." For the first time in her life she felt the smart of a jealous sting. "The eighth day," said Simonides, "the eighth day; and this, Esther, this is the " "The ninth," she replied. "Ah, then, they may be in Bethany now."
And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped for joy in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: and she exclaimed with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this favour shewn me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
