" Perhaps it may happen that I shan't see you again before you start for Greece and so I had best bid you God-speed -or whatever the term is now. You will have a charming time; Greece must be a delightful place. Really, I envy you, Marjory.
Hard men who had their knives drawn to fight for their financial lives put away the weapons and wished him God-speed, while half a dozen panic-smitten tin-pot toads perked up their heads and spoke of the wonderful things they would have done had not Cheyne buried the hatchet. It was a busy week-end among the wires; for now that their anxiety was removed, men and cities hastened to accommodate.
Since you are his one desire, mademoiselle, then are you my one desire. I bade him God-speed." She gave her hand to Monsieur, sudden tears welling over her lashes. "Monsieur, I thought to-night I had no friends. And I have so many!" "Mademoiselle," the king cried in the same breath, "fear not. I will get you your lover if I sell France for him." She brushed the tears away and smiled on him.
"Your road diverges here, sir," said Hans, as Brook rode up; "I fell behind my party to bid you God-speed, and to express a hope that we may meet again." "Thanks, friend, thanks," said Brook, extending his hand. "I am obliged for the aid you have rendered me, and the advice given, which latter I shall no doubt find valuable.
To Salter, the proverbially eccentric, this new-comer appeared to be an intelligent young fellow whom he would like and take to. There was no superior "just out from London to the back of God-speed" air about him. On the contrary, he appeared to be genuinely interested in his surroundings and insatiable for information.
Hilarius entered the village discreetly, and adding the little money he had to the woman's scanty store, bought bread, a flask of wine, flour and beans, and a jug of milk. "'Tis for a sick child," he said when he asked for it, and the woman pushed back the money, bidding him God-speed.
They thrust upon her gifts of fruit and flowers and dainties for her lunch. They bore her wraps out to the cumbersome vehicle which was to convey her to Lexington, the nearest town which at that time boasted of a railroad. They placed her comfortably, turning again and again to give her another kiss and to bid her good-by and God-speed.
Among a heap of others I find a note of invitation written on the 9th of July, 1867, in which he says: "My 'readings' secretary, whom I am despatching to America at the end of this week, will dine with me at Verey's in Regent Street at six exact to be wished God-speed. There will only be besides, Wills, Wilkie Collins, and Mr. Arthur Chappell. Will you come? No dress. Evening left quite free."
And how sweetly and gravely did he beguile Ann to make the most of this sad meeting, wherein welcome and God-speed so closely touched.
From an utter stranger the request is almost comically extravagant; I am well aware of this; and I would add at once, if there be any one present who has heard enough, if there be one among the party who recoils from a dangerous confidence and a piece of Quixotic devotion to he knows not whom here is my hand ready, and I shall wish him good-night and God-speed with all the sincerity in the world."
