Then she dropped an humble curtesy; and her mother rose and curtesied also, though she had not recognized her guest as soon as Margary. The poor little stranger fairly wept for joy. "Ah, you remember me," he said betwixt smiles and tears. Then he entered the cottage, and while Margary and her mother got some refreshment ready for him, he told his pitiful story.
So it came about that Isoult, having breakfasted, lay asleep in Alice's bed when a knight came cantering into the precinct followed by a page on a cob. His gilded armour blazed in the sun, a tall blue plume curtesied over his casque. He was so brave a figure tall and a superb horseman and so glittering from top to toe, that the old hermit, who came peering out to see, thought him a prince.
Patience trembled and gasped out the words, and curtesied, once in a while, when the Squire said something. "Come here," said he, when he had sat for a minute or two, taking in the facts of the case. To Patience's utter astonishment, Squire Bean was laughing, and holding out the sixpence. "Have you got the palm-leaf string?" "Yes, sir," replied Patience, curtesying.
"I have, woman!" said Aram, sternly. "Och ye have thin! And did ye not sit and gloat, and eat up your oun heart, an' curse the sun that looked so gay, an' the winged things that played so blithe-like, an' scowl at the rich folk that niver wasted a thought on ye? till me now, your honour, till me!" And the crone curtesied with a mock air of beseeching humility.
"Would you like to buy some of my nice pop-corn, madam?" he asked. She curtesied. "Not to-day," she replied. But in reality she did not know what pop-corn was. She had never seen any, and neither had the Baron. That indeed was the reason why he had admitted the man he was curious to see what he was carrying. "Is it good to eat?" he inquired. "Try it, my lord," answered the man.
There stood this most singular apparition, holding before her a fan about the size of a modern tea-tray; while at each repetition of her name by the servant, she curtesied deeply, bestowing the while upon the gay crowd before her a very curious look of maidenly modesty at her solitary and unprotected position.
With uplifted eyes and smiling lips, seeming to see something hidden from others, she bent and glided, curtesied and tripped, this way and that. The lookers-on were wild with delight. The beauty of the thing itself, the willingness of the foreigners to join in the sport, aroused the temperamental enthusiasm, and the clapping and cheering filled the hall with noise.
"'T is said clothes make the gentleman," he muttered, "but methinks 't is really the barber. How many of the belles of the Pump Room and the Crescent would take me for other than a clodhopper? 'T was not Charles Lor Charles what? to whom they curtesied and ogled and smirked, 't was to a becoming wig and a smooth chin." Snapping his fingers contemptuously, he went in and began to saddle the horse.
The float curtesied and went under, and in another second the little independent was in the boat. "There are other fools in the world besides me, it seems," said Hugh to himself. "He'll do; but I wish he was a dace," said Doll, slipping the victim into a tin with holes in the top. "Half a dozen will be enough."
