How are you? And how are you, Walter? Not too vigorous with the hand-shakes, fellows. Sorry you couldn't get over before this happened." "What's the matter?" we asked, glancing blankly from Orton to the doctor. Orton forced a half smile. "Just a touch of the 'bends' from working in compressed air," he explained. We looked at him, but could say nothing. I, at least, was thinking of his engagement.
They were too far away from earth to feel it real just now, though it was part of the happiness of things like the sunshine and the soft wind and the look in Tom's eyes, when, amid hand-shakes and congratulations, and welcoming laughter, he himself laughed back in his old way. "Ye look jest like ye used ter, Tom jest like ye used ter," cried Jake Doty. "Ye hain't changed a durned bit!"
Because 'tis cruel to babble the secrets of a young man's love; to overhear his incoherent vows and wild raptures, and to note, in cold blood, the secrets it may be, the follies of his passion. Shall we play eavesdropper at twilight embrasures, count sighs and hand-shakes, bottle hot tears: lay our stethoscope on delicate young breasts, and feel their heart-throbs?
"Have you many?" asked Madame de Bellegarde, in a tone of which I am afraid that Newman but partly measured the impertinence. "Enough to bring me a great many hand-shakes and congratulations. To say nothing," he added, in a moment, "of those I shall receive from your friends." "They will not use the telegraph," said the marquise, taking her departure.
She kissed me at parting, and I said "I shall tell my mother what a charming old lady you are," and she said, "give her my kind regards, and tell her how glad I was to see you." Well, at last with many hand-shakes and all talking at once, we parted, and I met Gibson at the station, and we returned to Boston yesterday, October 25th. I am now writing to you on Sunday from the Hotel Brunswick.
"And then Duval chimed in, with a laugh, 'To put it in a nutshell, gentlemen, we are going to smash Ryder and scare the President!" "Was the conference over?" asked Bates, after a moment's pause. "All but the hand-shakes," said the other. "I didn't dare to stay while they were moving about." And Bates started suddenly to his feet. "Come!" he said. "We haven't any time to waste.
The organ, the verger, the cure's sermon, the tapers casting their light upon jewels and spring gowns, and the throng of people in the sacristy, the tiny white cloud swallowed up, surrounded, embraced, while the bridegroom distributed hand-shakes among all the leading tradesmen of Paris, who had assembled to do him honor.
He certainly did it jolly well. He made even an ignorant ass like me sit up. I'd go and hear him again I vow I would! And there was such a fuss in the lobby! I found Geoffrey there, shovelling out hand-shakes, and talking to press-men. An old uncle of mine nice old boy who's sat for a Yorkshire constituency for about a hundred years, caught hold of me.
And you will then show us your work, and we shall see if you have succeeded. So good-by! All my good wishes, my dear fellow! Au revoir, cousin! Au revoir, children; be good!" Then came more kisses and hand-shakes, and the two men disappeared.
"I promise," said Lingard, "to see you some day." The calm surface of the bay reflected the glorious night sky, and the brig with the prau riding astern seemed to be suspended amongst the stars in a peace that was almost unearthly in the perfection of its unstirring silence. The last hand-shakes were exchanged on deck, and the Malays went aboard their own craft.
