Grey may rule here, and boast that she has driven me out of the field me, the last living relative of your dear lost wife, to say nothing of poor Maria, your excellent sister to whom you owe so much " "Oh, Henrietta!" pleaded Miss Grey once more. "Never mind her, dear, dear Arnold." Dr. Grey looked terribly hurt, but he and Aunt Maria exchanged one glance and one long hand-clasp.
First of all she remembered him as the cold, stern, handsome stranger of that first night that night when she learned that his coldness was assumed, his sternness a mask. She realized once again that at this first meeting he had won her by his voice, by his hand-clasp, by the swiftness and fervor of his speech; he had dominated her, swept her from her feet.
The young man accepted the hand-clasp with some resignation, but rejected the suggestion of privacy. "A telegram from Plattville reached me half an hour ago," he said. "I should have had it sooner, but I have been in the country all day." The two men who had been talking with the superintendent turned quickly, and stared at the speaker. He went on: "Mr.
He slept like a child as the train bore him onward, passing into sleep like a child, full of tenderness and love, slept dreamlessly and heavily, undisturbed, with the photo against his heart and the rose in his fingers and about his hands the hand-clasp of friends and on his cheeks the republican kiss as though his long-dead mother had pressed her lips there.
Miles, a hearty hand-clasp to the farmer and the boys, and further hugs to both sets of twins, the girls returned to Haddo Court. The visit to the farm was long remembered by Betty Vivian. It was the one bright oasis, the one brilliant spark of intense enjoyment, in a dark week.
He appeared to devote himself to his wife, as a man ought to do in the case of wealthy and well-bred people. He displayed enough of anxiety about her wishes, her health, her dresses, and, beyond that, left her perfectly free. Randal, having become Irene's friend, had a right to the affectionate hand-clasp which every husband endowed with good manners owes to his wife's intimate acquaintance.
But do not imagine your life is over and its aims purposeless. Out there you will find renewing. Some day come back and tell me about it." That was fifteen years ago, but he had never gone back. Never sought the second hand-clasp that would have been his. Never unfolded to those interested ears his personal experiences with the pioneer column that led the way to do the path-finding in Rhodesia.
Lingard, striding up from one side, thrust out his open palm; Hassim responded at once to the frank gesture and they exchanged their first hand-clasp over the prostrate body, as if fate had already exacted the price of a death for the most ominous of her gifts the gift of friendship that sometimes contains the whole good or evil of a life.
Still, they are ever alert and alive to any good that may come their way, and when it comes they simply appropriate it, and tarrying not, move steadily forward. Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of your head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every hand-clasp.
The little old station-master grasped the situation at once, and presided over their last hand-clasp. "Good luck, Hugh!" cried Mr. Britling. "Good luck!" cried the little old station-master. "It's not easy a-parting," he said to Mr. Britling as the train slipped down the line. "There's been many a parting hea' since this here old war began. Many. And some as won't come back again neether."
