They welcomed us effusively and State calls were exchanged by Colonel Morrison and the Brother Superior. The latter esteemed us highly and, although the 75th Divisional Staff afterwards occupied his hospice, even the glamour of Staff scarlet failed to dim his eyes to the worth of the plain Scots battalion who first entered Emmaus.
"You must not despair, dear son," he said effusively. "I have only my own vote, you know, and I promise you that I will take into account the excellent explanations which you have just given me. And who can tell? If God be with you, He will save you even in spite of all!"
But of all the inhabitants of the house, Christophe was the soonest intimate with the little couple on the second floor. More than once as he passed their door he had stopped to listen to the sound of the piano which Madame Arnaud used to play quite well when she was alone. Then he gave them tickets for his concert, for which they thanked him effusively.
"But why is that?" said a mournful voice, as Soloveitchik, who was getting in every one's way, stumbled forward. Until this moment his existence had been ignored, and many were struck by the forlorn expression of his countenance. "I say, Soloveitchik," said Sanine pensively, "one day I must come and see you, and we'll have a chat," "By all means! Pray do so!" said Soloveitchik, bowing effusively.
Effusively the master-tailor painted himself as the champion of the poor fellow, and protested against this outside partnership that was being imposed on him by the notorious Conn. He himself, though he could scarcely afford it, was keeping his cuttings for him, in spite of tempting offers from other quarters, even of a shilling a sack.
Shortly afterwards a small and insignificant man approached us, with haggard looks and grey hair. He greeted the doctor effusively. "This is Kećo," said Dr. As he took the tobacco tin which was proffered him his hands trembled so excessively that the rolling of a cigarette was a work of art. "His nerves are gone," explained the doctor. "He lives in hourly danger of his life."
Then a strange thing happened. The little man had shaken hands effusively, the big one sulkily, but there was one there who took the Preacher's hand warmly and in a husky voice said: "Mr. Hartigan, I want you to know you have made me think different. I am coming to church. I know you are right." Then turning to a woman by his side: "This is my wife she feels as I do."
Down he threw himself full length upon the floor and grovelled effusively, whining and scraping the boards in a perfect fervour of abject delight. Robb looked hard at the dog. Then he laughed and turned to Alice. "What is the creature's name? I didn't catch it." "Neche," she replied. Robb held out his hand encouragingly and called the dog by name.
Here we found the entire population of the island assembled to do us honour, and for quite ten minutes were embraced most effusively by every one, male or female, who could get near us.
It was five minutes before he turned his head. Then he muttered a "good-morning," for we had met before. I tried to be companionable and easy. I returned his salutation, somewhat too effusively, it may be, and asked him about his business, and then wanted to know, in a general way, how be stood on the Congressional issue. He hardened in a moment.
