It must be obvious to all that if the United States had been desirous of making conquests, or had been even willing to aggrandize themselves in that way, they could have had no inducement to form this treaty. They would have much cause for gratulation at the course which has been pursued by Spain.
So Herbert felt, when the excitement of congratulation, of the warm sympathy of his friends had given place to solicitude and thought. Mary had been so long the shrine of his secret, fondest thoughts, he had so long indulged in delicious fancies, known to few others save himself, that now they had been intruded on even by the voice of gratulation, they would no longer throng around.
Forty days after the battle, and the mangled bodies, lacerated limbs and putrefying corpses of men and horses, the ground stained with gore, the trees and the corn levelled; what a dismal devastation! nor less painful the part of the road which the people of Cremona, as if they were the subjects of a king, had strewn with roses and laurels, altars they had raised and victims they had slain, signs of gratulation for the moment, which very soon afterwards occasioned their destruction.
Hoxer was conscious that a sentiment of gratulation, of sly triumph, pervaded his mental processes as he sped along barefoot, like some tramp or outcast, or other creature of a low station. He had laid his plans well in this curious, involuntary cerebration. Those big, bare footprints were ample disguise for a well-clad, well-groomed, well-shod middle-class man of a skilful and lucrative employ.
Then were they likely to strike a blow at that slavery? Their measure would, then, of course, lead to an increase and not to a mitigation of the hardships of servitude. They had "fewer rights to be interfered with" in Hong Kong "than could he found elsewhere." Away with a measure of "protection" which finds its chief source of gratulation in the curtailed rights of the "protected!"
But the die was cast Raymond would marry Idris. The merry marriage bells rung in my ears; I heard the nation's gratulation which followed the union; the ambitious noble uprose with swift eagle-flight, from the lowly ground to regal supremacy and to the love of Idris. Yet, not so!
As he looked back on the incidents of the campaign and its culminating event with a sense of self-doubt poisoning his triumph, that which most sickened him of his own course was not the overt insult from the financial emperor, but the soft-palmed gratulation of Horace Vanney. Ambition is the most conservative of influences upon a radical mind.
"It's all right, my boy. Miss Farrell is with me. Come along." There was an elan in his tone that bespoke a spirit of gratulation and relief and led Amber to suspect that they were very close upon the end of their flight, near to escape from the subterranean ways of Kathiapur the dead.
His mouth was immediately stopped with the letter, at which he "smiled horribly a ghastly grin;" and, after a compliment of gratulation, they entered into close divan, about the measures to be taken in consequence of this event. There was no room for much debate.
But the first person who caught a sight of the mendicant exclaimed, "Ah! here comes auld Edie, that kens the rules of a' country games better than ony man that ever drave a bowl, or threw an axle-tree, or putted a stane either; let's hae nae quarrelling, callants we'll stand by auld Edie's judgment." Edie was accordingly welcomed, and installed as umpire, with a general shout of gratulation.
