I met them walking together in the park, shortly after the reconciliation must have taken place. Young Jack carried himself gaily and manfully; but Phoebe hung her head, blushing, as I approached. However, just as she passed me, and dropped a curtsy, I caught a shy gleam of her eye from under her bonnet; but it was immediately cast down again.
Her strong black brows spoke of temper easily aroused and hard to quiet; her mouth was small, nervous and weak; there was something dangerous and sulky underlying, in her nature, much that was honest, compassionate, and even noble. 'My father's name, she said, 'has made you very welcome. And she gave him her hand, with a sort of curtsy.
Elliott?" said he one morning, after he had just read the hasty billet and sat down to table. "I suppose it will be business, sir," replied the housekeeper drily, measuring his distance off to him by an indicated curtsy. "But I can't imagine what business!" he reiterated. "I suppose it will be HIS business," retorted the austere Kirstie.
Comely Rette flushed to her sleek hair and some flicker of a girlhood that had its modicum of grace, flared up in the swift curtsy with which she acknowledged the compliment. And with a last flash of his blue coat Alfred de Courtenay was gone. McElroy ran his fingers helplessly through his tousled light hair and faced his friend.
Margot dropped an old-fashioned curtsy, but she looked rather puzzled; and then Bobby took courage and explained. 'He's my uncle Mortimer, Margot; and he's comed to see me, and we sawed him out of the window and opened the door to him, and then we was afraid you wouldn't like him, so we put him to hide behind the door.
The alterations became him. When they entered the parlour, Will rose from his chair with the evidence of deep emotion on his face, advanced to Tom, took his hand and grasped and dropped it without a word. Jessie saluted both guests alike, with drooping eyelids and an elaborate curtsy. The old mother alone was perfectly self-possessed and up to the occasion. "I am heartily glad to see you, Mr.
Rebecca was curtsying, and endeavouring to make the poor orphan girl curtsy instead of crying, and while Dandie, in his rough way, was encouraging them both, old Pleydell had recourse to his snuff-box. 'It's meat and drink to me now, Colonel, he said, as he recovered himself, 'to see a clown like this. I must gratify him in his own way, must assist him to ruin himself; there's no help for it.
Do you think me an untutored savage, that you deny me in such disdain?" "I know not how it may prove regarding your heart," I said boldly, not hesitating to meet her questioning eyes, "but in manner and graces you exhibit the gloss of courts." She smiled mockingly, rising to her feet and saluting me with a low curtsy. "Ah! very prettily said, señor.
She say Virginia pretty good, but dat South Callina tek de cake. She say South Callina mek 'em run ebery time! Yaas'm! 'n' I gits up 'n' I meks her er curtsy, 'n' I say ter her, 'Dat's er pretty way ter talk when you're visitin' in Virginia, 'n' ef dat's South Callina manners I'se glad I wuz born in Virginia! Yaas'm.
The young Count will be there to-night, and we'll have some tarok. Farewell, Béla," she continued, laughing merrily. "Don't worry, my good man, it's not worth losing your temper about trifles on the eve of your wedding-day. And bless your eyes! I don't mind." Then she swept a mock curtsy to Elsa. "Farewell, my pretty one. Good luck to you in your new life." She nodded and was gone.
