'That's right, Aminadab! said he; 'go on as you have begun; take care of yourself in this world, and I'll promise you you'll be taken care of in the next. Peace and poverty, or war and money.
rang out with an impassioned brilliancy of tone that took the listeners by storm. As the singer sank upon her seat, not spent by the effort, but rather absorbed with the new thoughts and emotions that were crowding upon her, the clapping of many hands sounded to her remote and meaningless, and she did not even notice that the solitary gondola had slipped away.
When any one of them becomes tired of this state of vassalage and sets up his own village, it is not unusual for the elected chief to send a number of the young men, who congregate about himself, to visit him. If he does not receive them with the usual amount of clapping of hands and humility, they, in obedience to orders, at once burn his village.
"And you you would pass rather a sad quarter-hour with the Red Duke," replied Aramis. "Oh, the Red Duke! Bravo! Bravo! The Red Duke!" cried Porthos, clapping his hands and nodding his head.

"Never," Jack confessed. "Then I take it you have never, sir, seen the camelroorelephant?" "The cam " began Eph Somers. Then he stopped, clapping both hands to his right jaw.

For several minutes they applauded while she smilingly bowed, but at last the clapping died away, and each auditor shrugged himself into an easy posture in his chair, waiting for the great star to take up her rôle. This she did with a security and repose of manner which thrilled Douglass in spite of his intimate knowledge of her work at rehearsals.
"I never hear the number eighty-four without clapping my hand to my left breast and missing my badge. You know I was on the police in New York, before the war, and that's about all you do know yet. One bitter cold night, I was going my rounds for the last time, when, as I turned a corner, I saw there was a trifle of work to be done.

There was a far-off clapping of hands from the Goorkhas, and a roar from the Highlanders in the distance, but never a shot was fired by British or Afghan.
Sue cried, clapping her hands. "Isn't he!" agreed Aunt Lu. And then she gave a sudden cry. "Oh dear!" she gasped. "Oh dear! It's gone! I've lost it!" "What?" asked Bunny. "My ring! My beautiful diamond ring is lost!" And Aunt Lu's cheeks turned pale. Aunt Lu hurried over to the kitchen table, at which she had been helping Mrs. Brown make the lobster salad.
