"Nothing in the world; and he gave it to me just at the time when he had good cause to be angry with me, just when I had broken his bell-glass." "I have a great mind to let you play together again," said Arthur's father. "Oh, if you would," cried Arthur, clapping his hands, "how happy we should be!
Dix stood up and clinched his fists, but at the spectacle of the dripping, forlorn figure before him his wrath vanished and he broke into a hearty laugh. "Come on, mate," he said, clapping him on the back, "now let's go and find Emma. If she don't fall in love with you now she never will. My eye I you are a picture!"

"Oh, how lovely!" cried Griselda, clapping her hands. "It'll be like walking along a rainbow. Cuckoo, come quick."
For all at once, clapping his hand to his mouth, and imitating the bellowing war-whoop of an Indian, he rushed upon us in that character, caught hold of Madge's hair, and made off as if to drag her away by it.

Grant surprised him by clapping him on the back. "By Jove, my friend, the very thing! Of course, such an investigation requires bigger brains than our local police are endowed with.
