It grew and spread slowly on the horizon until it became a fat old black woman, hooded and aproned, with great round hips and massive bosom. Her face was heavy and homely until she looked up and lifted the drooping cheeks, and then kindly old eyes beamed on the young teacher, as she curtsied and cried: "Good-evening, honey! Good-evening! You sure is pretty dis evening."
Thing's well done down it goes: you know that. You can't have a word over it eh? Thing's done fit to toss on a dungheap, aha! Then there's a cackle! My belief is, you do it on purpose. Can't be such rank idiots. You do it on purpose. All done for gossip! 'Oh, sir, no! The landlady half curtsied. 'Oh, ma'am, yes! The old gentleman bobbed his head. 'No, indeed, sir! The landlady shook hers.
"Mon Dieu!" murmured Frances, opening her large eyes and lifting her distinctly arched brows; "c'est qu'il fait des compliments! je ne m'y suis pas attendu." She smiled, half in ire, half in mirth, curtsied with foreign grace, and so they parted. No sooner had we got into the street than Hunsden collared me.
As they entered the "Tete d'Or," they met a young lady richly dressed with a velvet chaperon on her head, which was confined by law to the nobility. They unbonneted and louted low, and she curtsied, but fixed her eye on vacancy the while, which had a curious rather than a genial effect. However, nobility was not so unassuming in those days as it is now. So they were little surprised.

"This is an impertinence, sir!" exclaimed the marquis angrily, as Isidore, without any announcement, entered the private apartment in which Madame de Valricour had just concluded her interview.
Lord Dalhousie came again to my side and I had as pleasant a conversation with him, rather SOTTO VOCE, however, as I could have had at a private house.

We then bade each other good-night, and found our carriages as soon as we chose.
Victor Stott was emerging from the library window as Challis rolled up to the hall door. It was one of Ellen Mary's days she stood respectfully in the background while her son descended; she curtsied to Challis as he came forward. He hesitated a moment. He would not risk insult in the presence of his chauffeur and Mrs. Stott.
So Staneholme bought the grand new family coach of which the Homes had talked for the last generation; and Lady Carnegie curtsied her supercilious adieus, and hoped her son and daughter would be better keepers at home for the future.
In slightly different language, society was presented to us in the form of two immemorial orders the men, women, and children who touched their hats and curtsied, and the men, women, and children to whom these salutations were made.
My aunt cried outright as she embraced me; and said, pretending to laugh, that if my poor mother had been alive, that silly little creature would have shed tears, she had no doubt. 'So you have left Mr. Dick behind, aunt? said I. 'I am sorry for that. Ah, Janet, how do you do? As Janet curtsied, hoping I was well, I observed my aunt's visage lengthen very much.
