So the thing went on until at length Alan could bear no more of it. "Lady," he said to the Asika when she paused for a moment from her hand-clapping, "I am weary, I would sleep." "What!" she exclaimed, "do you wish to sleep on such a glorious night when so many evil doers are coming to their just doom?
You won't need any ticket this time you'll be with me." Even at that they were late, for when they paused a moment in the entrance of the huge, bowl-shaped amphitheater, a sharp gust of hand-clapping, broken by shrill whistling and shriller cat-calls, met them.
You wouldn't like her much, but she dances well enough and she's having a rotten time. Nobody ever goes near her any more." When the music stopped, Russell added his applause to the hand-clapping that encouraged the uproarious instruments to continue, and as they renewed the tumult, he said heartily, "That's splendid!"
But the audience, so far from resenting the interruptions, encouraged them, and Carter's obvious discomfort added to its amusement. It proceeded to assail him with applause, with appeals, with commands to "speak up." The hand-clapping became general-insistent. The audience would not be denied. Carter turned to Dolly. In the recesses of the box she was enjoying his predicament.
The Gunki carried her around on their shoulders; the Snimmy and his wife pelted her with moon-flowers; the Plynck and the Teacup kept up an agitated patter of feminine hand-clapping; and Schlorge came running down the path from the Dimplesmithy, cheering wildly.
There were sounds of hand-clapping and calls of "Hear! Hear!" Molly paused and cleared her throat. She did wish they wouldn't interrupt until she had finished. "I think we ought to remember, girls, that when we elect a president for this last year, we are choosing some one to represent us for always; at class reunions and alumnæ meetings and all kinds of things.
Run! run! run!" he roared, and then joined in the hand-clapping, for Hodson had made a splendid leg hit, which brought us in four, and two more from an overthrow. This excited Tom Mercer to such an extent that he could not lie still, but went off again in the direction of the tent, while I began to know that I was better, from the interest I was able to take in the game.
Noise is noise even in the grandstand, and your loud cheering is very likely to annoy the people around you. A brief hand-clapping is sufficient applause for a good play or even for a victory. It is not necessary to be boisterous. And this holds true of the game of baseball also, when loud cheering serves only to create confusion and disorder.
He admired the dancing of the blithe, graceful girl, he applauded her as the rest did with hand-clapping and bravas, and said it was ravishing. It all suited him perfectly.
The whistling and hand-clapping which we had hoped would give them our location without doubt had merely served to tell them the way not to go. The moving picture record of a "charging rhino" would have been a brilliant success but for one thing the rhino refused to charge. During the following ten days we made many similar attempts to get a charge and always with nearly the same results.
