"We shall meet on the deck when you have done." And she moves away with an august curtsy. I can't tell how it is, or what it is, in that lady; but she says, "How do you do?" as nobody else knows how to say it. In all her actions, motions, thoughts, I would wager there is the same calm grace and harmony. She is not very handsome, being very thin, and rather sad-looking.
The Laird turned the corner quickly, but when he had rounded it the maiden was still there, though on the summit of the brow. She turned round, and, with an ineffable smile and curtsy, saluted him, and again moved slowly on.
She however gently approached to caress me, when with uplifted hands I rudely repulsed her. 'What do you wish with me? exclaimed I to her. 'Ah! you are a woman, and of a sex I abhor, and can no longer tolerate; the very gentleness of your look threatens me with some new treason. Go, leave me here alone! She made me a curtsy without uttering a word, and turned to go out.
A hateful and terrible presence overshadowed her; it was as though she had but to put forth her hand to touch a coffin-lid. She no longer saw the forms about her, scarce felt the pressure of Sidney's hand, knew not, so brave a lady was she, so fixed her habit of the court, that she smiled upon the group she was leaving and swept them a formal curtsy.
What should she say to her serene highness? What kind of a curtsy should she make? These and a hundred other questions flitted through her head. At least she would wear no humble, servile air. For Gretchen was a bit of a socialist. Did not Herr Goldberg, whom the police detested, did he not say that all men were equal? And surely this sweeping statement included women!
She regarded it, clasped it in the hand which was against her bosom, and at length dropped a curtsy, though without speaking. 'What a poor crabbed old creature! Egremont exclaimed, as they walked away. 'I should feel relieved if I knew that she went off at once to the warmth of the public-house opposite. 'Yes, she hasn't a very cheerful home. 'Oh, but it can be made a very different house.
Without more ado she bobbed a curtsy, crept from the chapel, closed the door, and way-to-go back to her cottage. When she reached it and struck a light in the kitchen she more than half expected to hear the child cry to her from his cradle. But, for all that Meriden the Priest had told her concerning the Virgin and her power, there the cradle stood empty. "Well-a-well!" breathed Lovey.
We'll be there." Then, as the bugle sounded, "Ride with us," he said, and strode over to where Mrs. Cary stood, arrested by the news. "Madam, I must make you a rather hurried farewell and a last apology. If ever we meet again, I hope the conditions may be happier for you." "I thank you, Colonel," the proud Southern woman said sincerely, with a curtsy.
With a grand flourish of the entire band, consisting of trombone, riddle and drum, two small Manilla ponies made their entrée, accompanied by attendants enough to have borne them on bodily. Señor y Señiorita followed hand in hand, and introduced themselves, in character, with a graceful bow, a modest curtsy, and the disengaged hand on his heart, on the part of the gentleman as a token for both.
"But why so?" asked Ruth, glancing at her tall companion in some astonishment. "Don't you know anything?" "I? Never a bit, darling. I don't suppose they'll keep me here. I have no learning, and I never want to have any, and what's more " "Hush, girls! No talking," called the indignant voice of a form-room mistress. Kathleen's dark-blue eyes grew round with laughter. She suddenly dropped a curtsy.
