"You would not mind coming with me this evening, would you, aunt?" "Certainly not, my dear," replied Mrs. Hornby, and she was about to enlarge on the subject when Miss Gibson rose and, looking at her watch, declared that she must start on her errand at once. I also rose to make my adieux, and she then remarked "If you are walking in the same direction as I am, Dr.
They stood about, veils floating, leather decorated coats thrown back, lingering for awhile to talk the garage talk which fascinates people of their type; then Millbank looked at the clock, made his adieux to Lydia, nodded significantly to Mortimer, and followed the others down-stairs.
"You'll find tea in the housekeeper's room, Mr. Thrush, as usual," said Rosamund. "And very kind of you to have it there, I'm sure, ma'am!" the old gentleman gallantly replied as he made his wavering adieux. At the door he turned round to face the nursery once more, lifted one hand in a manner almost apostolic, and uttered the final warning "Never cosset!"
The countess mother, however, was not in her boudoir; only a screaming cockatoo, and a capuchin monkey that grimaced a welcome. Through the folding-doors which opened into an adjoining room came the melancholy tones of a harmonium; and M. Cambray recognized a favorite air Beethoven's symphony, "Les adieux, l'absence, et le retour." He paused a moment to listen to it.
Bardolph knocks the ashes out of his pipe, puts out his hands to the little steel cuffs, and walks away quite meekly. He is found out. He must go. "Good-by, Doll Tearsheet! Good-by, Mrs. Quickly, ma'am!" The other gentlemen and ladies de la societe look on and exchange mute adieux with the departing friends. And an assured time will come when the other gentlemen and ladies will be found out too.
They say their adieux and still Abbot hesitates; his eyes wander to the door which communicates with Bessie's room, and, as though in answer, it opens and she softly enters. "I am so glad you have come," he says, in low, eager tone. "Let me present my father," and the old gentleman bows with courtly grace and comes forward to take her hand.
And these men who took themselves and their lineage so seriously, took Hamil seriously; and he often attempted to appreciate it seriously, but his sense of humour was too strong. They were all good people, kindly and harmless snobs; and when he had made his adieux under the shadow of the white portico, he lingered a moment to observe the obsolete gallantry with which Mr.
"But I, madame, am the sergeant," Selingman interrupted, with a low bow, "whilst you are upon the staff." She laughed as she made her adieux and departed. The door closed heavily behind her. Selingman came a little further into the room. "You have read your dispatches this morning, Prince?" he asked. "Not yet," the latter replied. "Is there news, then?" Selingman pointed to the closed door.
She lifted her eyes to his and said with reverential fervor, "The God of our fathers bless you and deliver you from all evil as you have delivered me. I did not believe there was any man so good. None before have thought me worthy of the best. You found me poor and miserable, yet you have given me the best." Deronda could not speak, but with silent adieux to the Meyricks, hurried away.
"Your hostess is Mrs. Tom O'Hara," said the girl; "when you have enough of it look at me and I'll understand. And if you try to hide in a corner with some soulful girl I'll look at you if it bores me too much. So don't sit still with an infatuated smile, as Cecile does, when she sees that I wish to make my adieux."
