"Maria," he exclaimed, giving me a hearty grip, "this is the man that won Mohair. My wife, Crocker." I was somewhat annoyed at this effusiveness before the Celebrity, but I looked up and caught Mrs. Cooke's eye. It was the calm eye of a general. "I am glad of the opportunity to thank you, Mr. Crocker," she said simply. And I liked her from that moment. Mr.
A big fire of rotten wood had been started near by, as a mosquito smudge, but all were too busy to give these pests much attention. While the Indians were at supper, Ewen returned with Chandler. The latter arrived with much effusiveness, but his greeting by Colonel Howell was rather curt. "Of course you'll remember this," the colonel remarked, "when it comes to settling."
No one would have suspected that the white man and his dark companion had been "shipmates," in good times and in bad, for nearly a decade. Elsa, watching them from her secure nook, admired the lack of effusiveness. The dignity of the parting told her of the depth of feeling. An hour later they were heading for the delta. Elsa amused herself by casting bits of bread to the gulls.
He and his more intimate friends, not marchionesses but middle-class people, corresponded in a style of rather distasteful effusiveness. He was a pleasant young man in a house, not a Don Juan. I have never heard a whisper about light loves unless Mr.
Unfortunately, my memory, though retentive, is far from being so trustworthy as my friend's, and I have forgotten the whole of the dialogue excepting those first words. Such a meeting was of a kind to strike Madame de Stael very greatly; on her return home she said but little about it, notwithstanding an effusiveness which in her became mere loquacity; but it evidently occupied her thoughts.
Jacob Cluyme sniffed a little as he was ushered into Miss Crane's best parlor, it was perhaps because of she stuffy dampness of that room. Mr. Cluyme was one of those persons the effusiveness of whose greeting does not tally with the limpness of their grasp.

"Speed is not the first requisite at a children's desk. Children have more patience with necessary formalities than grown people. "Let some of the children help in the work of the room, but do not urge them to do so.
I felt it directly I got up." "Quite a change in the weather, I'm sure," he said mechanically; "it feels like a frost coming on." "You dear old goose!" said Matilda, with an unusual effusiveness; "you shan't tease me like this! Do you think I've no eyes and no feelings? Any girl, I don't care how proud or offended, would come round on such proof of devotedness as I've had this evening.
"Delighted to see you, Miss Bronson," said he, "delighted, I'm sure. Thought I'd call and pay my respects before you leave the city." He greeted us all with like effusiveness and sat down facing Hester. "It's very kind of you," said she; "but pray how did you know I was to leave the city?" "Why, I'm sure, Miss Bronson, everybody knows you are going home to be married?"
A hat-rack, with a bronze plate full of very large cards, led his eye swiftly to a dark staircase beyond. Mrs. Pender had round eyes like a child's, and she greeted him with an effusiveness that barely concealed her emotion, yet strove to appear naturally cordial. Evidently she had been looking out for his arrival, and had outrun the servant girl. She was a little breathless.
