I hope we shall all be very happy and comfortable together," she curtseyed and said, "Yes, thank you, sir. I'll try my best." The bedrooms, all but Mr. and Mrs. Carroll's, were very tiny.

"This" was a golden sovereign, a coin that did not often in its beauty and entirety come Mrs. Twomey's way.

Spencer came into the room and smiled pleasantly at Midget. Delight introduced them, and Marjorie rose and curtseyed, then Mrs. Spencer said: "I'm glad you came, my dear child.

Lord George gave his arm to his wife's great aunt, and the Dean followed with the Marchioness.
Of all those I met and, in many instances, spoke to, in the village street and in the neighbouring woods and lanes, not one little girl curtseyed to me. The only curtsey I had dropped to me in this district was from an old woman in the small hill-hidden village of Englishcombe.
There was a subject on which he wished to speak to Roy, and that took him down Clay Lane. "What's the matter, Mrs. Peckaby?" Mrs. Peckaby rose from her chair, curtseyed, and sat down again. But for the state of tribulation she was in, she would have remained standing. "Oh, sir, I have had a upset," she sobbed.

'Yes, sir, Miss Gwynne sent me with some jelly. He is better, I hope? 'And are you going home now? 'Yes, sir. 'Stay one moment; will you give the poor man this half-crown when you see him again?
And then her cheeks had a bright clear pink, and her eyes were as blue as the sky in spring, and she stood as upright as a young apple-tree, and no one could help but smile at her, and pat her brown curls approvingly; whereupon she always curtseyed.
"It is then Mistress Anne Wildairs I am honoured by having speech with," he said. "My Lady Dunstanwolde has spoken of you in my presence. I am my lord's kinsman the Duke of Osmonde;" again bowing, and Anne curtseyed low once more.
