I behaved with my usual elegance of manner, stepping on the ladies' trains and toes in dancing, calling them by other people's names, and all those little courtesies for which I was so famous. I even contrived to sit down where there was no chair, to the amusement of the fellows. My cousin Susie was going away the next day.
Greetings and minor courtesies disposed of, Sir Richard came straight to the affair which he had at heart. "Well? How speeds the matter?" Mr. Caryll's face became overcast. He sat down, a thought wearily. "So far as Lord Ostermore is concerned, it speeds as you would wish it. So far as I am concerned" he paused and sighed "I would that it sped not at all, or that I was out of it."
" you have been pleased to present me with flowers, bonbons, jewels, and what not. You have actually accorded your wife the courtesies you usually preserve for the ladies of the ballet. You have dogged my footsteps, you have attempted to intrude into my bedroom, you have talked to me as well, very much as " "Much as the others do?" de Puysange queried, helpfully.
I wondered whether the Governor was now returning from Willdon after ordering an inquiry. On his card he had written: "Please release R. Mifflin at once and show this lady all courtesies." So I didn't anticipate any particular trouble. This made me all the more anxious to push on, and after crossing the ferry we halted in Woodbridge only long enough for supper.
If the Infanta was anxious to escape from the frigid courtesies of the Lorraine aristocracy, I also longed to have a short holiday, and to keep away from the Queen, as well for the sake of her peace of mind as for my own.

"Noa, they doant," was all the answer she received from the turnpike woman, who held a baby under each arm. "I am sure the woman is robbing me," said poor Mrs. Wilkinson. "No, she beant," said the post-boy. They are good hearty people in that part of the world; but they do not brook suspicion, and the courtesies of life are somewhat neglected. And then she arrived at Lord Stapledean's gate.
The two women one so richly, the other so plainly dressed; one with her beauty in its full bloom, the other worn and blighted; one with society at her feet, the other an outcast living under the bleak shadow of reproach the two women stood face to face, and exchanged the cold courtesies of salute between strangers, in silence. The first to meet the trivial necessities of the situation was Mrs.
"It needs an Englishman to appreciate it," replied Evelyn, with a twinkle in her eyes which was lost upon her guest. In the midst of these courtesies Philip bowed himself away. The party was over for him, though he wandered about for a while, was attracted again by the music to the ballroom, and did find there a dinner acquaintance with whom he took a turn.
Many a heart has been won, many a friendship has been secured, many a position has been acquired, through the exercise of such little kindnesses and courtesies as are natural to the generous in spirit and the noble of soul to all, indeed, who delight, not only in promoting their own prosperity, but in contributing to the welfare of every member of the human family.
To supply him there was a tub full of saké at hand, and his usual drinking-vessel was a dish which seemed to Tsuma to be as large as a full moon. Raiko now offered to return the courtesies shown them by dancing "the Kioto dance," for which he was famous.
