Other people, however, saw it. Her very skating was different. It had gained in grace and vigor, but she was seldom seen wooing the serious and lonely orange around which Milly had acquired the skill that Mildred now enjoyed. On the contrary, she initiated an epidemic of frivolity on the ice in the shape of waltzing and hand-in-hand figures in general.
And then, and please your honour, he said, he could not bear this; for his daughter was ruined, to be sure, before now. And so, said Thomas, the good old couple sat themselves down, and, hand-in-hand, leaning upon each other's shoulder, did nothing but lament.
"Esta un Paraiso!" "En verdad un Paraiso! Even better peopled than the Paradise of old. Mira! cavalleros!" continued he. "Behold! not one Eve, but two! each, I daresay, as beautiful as the mother of mankind!" As the trapper spoke, he pointed to the young girls, who, hand-in-hand, were returning from the stream where they had been performing their ablutions.
Their choice is made, and they turn away hand-in-hand, with their backs to the darkness and their faces to the light. Very quiet was the wedding in the old priory church at Christchurch, where Father Christopher read the service, and there were few to see save the Lady Loring and John, and a dozen bowmen from the castle.
Ian Stewart, too, neglected the orange and went in for hand-in-hand figures that season. Other things, too, he neglected; work, which he had never before allowed to suffer measurably from causes within his control; and far from blushing for his idleness, he rejoiced in it, as the surest sign of all that for him the Festival of Spring had come in the time of nature's frost.
It went on to remark that nothing had contributed more to make our Empire happy and enviable, to create that obvious list of glories which you can supply for yourself, the prosperity of all classes in our great cities, our populous and growing villages, the success of our rule in Ireland, etc., etc., than the sound Anglo-Saxon readiness of all classes in the State "to work heartily hand-in-hand."
At last they came down the walk that I was coming up, hand-in-hand, lover-like. Your servant, Miss your servant, Sir passed between my brother and me. Is it not coldish, Clary! in a kinder voice than usual, said my sister, and stopped. I stopped and courtesied low to her half-courtesy. I think not, Sister, said I. She went on. I courtesied without return; and proceeded, turning to my poultry-yard.
At their little unsteady pace, they came across the floor, hand-in-hand, as if they were traversing an extremely difficult road intersected by brooks, and, when they had had their heads patted by Mrs Betty Higden, made lunges at the orphan, dramatically representing an attempt to bear him, crowing, into captivity and slavery.
He bent his knee before her, and for some moments they remained hand-in-hand, and eye to eye. In the midst of this, Mlle. Moiseney appeared, who, at sight of this tableau vivant, stood perfectly confounded. "You are very much astonished, mademoiselle," said M. Moriaz to her. "Not so much as you fancy, monsieur," replied she, recovering herself.
Hand-in-hand they went about together, Richard sometimes lifting him up the steep steps, and, out of consideration for him, refraining from rough play; and Richard led him to join with him in those lessons that Father Lucas gave the children of the Castle, every Friday and Sunday evening in the Chapel.
