"My dear young lady," he said, with one of his courtliest bows, when at last Miss Fitzmannering had had enough of it, "you have given us a great treat you have, indeed."
"I wish I could think that this pleasure was mutual," said Sir John with his courtliest smile, as he bowed over Millicent's hand. "It might be," with a coquettish glance. "If ?" "If I were not afraid of you." Sir John turned, smiling, to greet Lady Cantourne. He did not appear to have heard, but in reality the remark had made a distinct impression on him.
'Excellency, the good Sarrasin said, in his courtliest and yet simplest tones, 'I ask permission to present to you two distinguished American scholars Professor Flick of Denver and Sacramento, and Mr. Andrew J. Copping of Omaha. These gentlemen will be proud to have the honour of meeting the patriot Dictator of Gloria, whose fame is world-renowned.
'I beg your pardon, said Jervase, suddenly cooling down. 'I beg ten thousand pardons I beg Miss Irene's pardon most of all. I forgot myself, and I apologise. He bowed to the girl and fell to pacing up and down the room, casting glances of wrath at the messenger of ill news. The General, fearing a new outburst, turned to the old lady with his courtliest air.
I discoursed to her in the very courtliest fashion of cows and pullets and such other matters as interesting to her as they were mysterious to me. I questioned her in a breath touching her father's pigs and the swain she loved best in that little township, to all of which she answered me with a charming wit, which would greatly divert you did I but recall her words sufficiently to set them down.
He received her in his courtliest manner, complimented her with admirable tact, listened with soft deference to her statement. He was the ideal man of business confidential, self-possest, polite giving his client the flattering impression that the faculties of his whole soul were concentrated upon the affair in hand. She was charmed, yet feared him.
When it was Roger Farrington's turn, he read out boldly: "Where's the girl I love the best?" and Marie Homer, who chanced to hold the rhyming valentine, whispered, shyly: "I am sweeter than the rest!" "You are, indeed!" said Roger, as he offered his arm with his courtliest bow. Then Kenneth Harper read: "Who's the fairest girl of all?"
He delivered his courtliest; he was riding on cloud. They talked of Baden. His honourable surrender of her defeated purse was a subject for gentle humour with her, venturesome compliment with him. He spoke well; and though his hands were clean of Sir Meeson Corby's reproach of them, the caricature of presentable men blushed absurdly and seemed uneasy in his monstrous collar.
In his courtliest manner he lifted her, raised her right hand to his lips and kissed it, and then signifying to her with a gesture to go to Evander, he seated himself at the table and wrote rapidly for some seconds, while the two lovers stood side by side, silent in hope and joy.
This flower will remind me of you; white and beautiful, with all the central gold deep hidden!" He looked at her intently, with a lingering look, half of tenderness, half of regret, and bowing in the courtliest fashion of homage, left her presence.
