His arm was paining him frightfully, and it struck him as the most altogether exquisite joke that Mrs. Anderson should be treating his knee, which did not pain him at all, so sympathetically. During the progress of the tea at the Andersons' Eddy kept furtively glancing at his sister with an expression which signified congratulation. "Ain't you glad you stayed?" the expression said, quite plainly.
However individuals and parties may have been disappointed in the result, it is, nevertheless, a subject of national congratulation that the choice has been effected by the independent suffrages of a free people, undisturbed by those influences which in other countries have too often affected the purity of popular elections.
The presiding officers of the two houses of parliament step forward and make speeches of congratulation, and reassure their sovereign of their loyalty and respect. The king then rises, bows first to the queen, and to each house in turn, and slowly leaves the chamber accompanied by the procession that followed him in.
Whenever the anniversary of the Mayflower comes round, there is a chorus of Anglo-American congratulation and comradeship, as if this at least were a matter on which all can agree. But I knew enough about America, even before I went there, to know that there are a good many people there at any rate who do not agree with it.
S . As usual, the appearance, health, vigour, and good management of the children were the theme of wondering admiration; as usual, my possession of a white nurse the theme of envious congratulation; as usual, I had to hear the habitual senseless complaints of the inefficiency of coloured nurses.
"Whatever you do, pray do not congratulate me!" Her father turned round again and looked at her. But Ida's face had already recovered its calm, and he could make nothing of it. "I don't quite understand you," he said; "these things are generally considered matters for congratulation."

She says I don't need her any more now, so she's going away." Doctor Jack paced back and forth on the veranda with his hands in his pockets.
What stir! what sea-like ferment! what a thundering of wheels, what a trampling of horses! what farewell cheers what redoubling peals of brotherly congratulation, connecting the name of the particular mail "Liverpool for ever!" with the name of the particular victory "Badajoz for ever!" or "Salamanca for ever!"
If John Hook, for having mingled his discordant and selfish cries with the acclamations of victory and then general joy, deserved Patrick Henry's memorable rebuke, what does he not deserve, who finds it in his heart to arrest the swelling tide of pity for the oppressed by praises of the oppressor, and to drown the public lament over the slave's subjection to absolute power, in the congratulation, that the slaveholder who exercises that power, is a being of characteristic "nobleness," "disinterestedness," and "sacrifice" of self-interest?
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig after the battle sent a message of congratulation to Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie, commanding the Canadian forces, and refuted the German claim that the Canadians had attacked with four instead of two divisions when Hill 70 was captured by the gallant fellows from the Dominion.
