When he had returned her firm handclasp for a minute, she coolly rejoined the discomfited group. "She's no sardine," said Bray to himself emphatically, "but I suspect she'll catch it from her folks for this. I ought to have gone away at once, like a gentleman, hang it!"
She said nothing, but as she took his hand in greeting, her fingers pressed his own in handclasp more lingering than usual. Late that evening, when Samson returned to the studio, he found a missive in his letter-box, and, as he took it out, his eyes fell on the postmark.
An alert, peppy, gray-haired man sprang up to greet me, his eyes, the eyes of youth, his step firm and sprightly, his handclasp steady and strong. And yet he was 71 years old! "Do you really feel younger?" +Twenty-five Years Younger.+ Chancellor Tobias threw out his chest, squared his shoulders, and smiled. "I feel twenty-five years younger.
In the glow of one's first service that larger idea may be as closely spontaneous as a handclasp, but in the darkness that comes as the glow dies away there is a fearful sense of unreality. It was in such dark moments that Benham was most persecuted by his memories of Amanda and most distressed by this suspicion that the Research Magnificent was a priggishness, a pretentious logomachy.
Yes, she was sorry that she had no son. Slim and gray-haired, a little worn by life's struggle, her blood quickened at the thought of a son like Derry. The warmth of his handclasp, the glimpse of that inner self which he had given her, these were things to hold close to her heart. She had known on that first night that he was different. She had not dreamed that she should hold him close.
For a moment Preston continued to stare at the rector without speaking. Suddenly he put out his hand. "Mr. Hodder, of St. John's?" he demanded. "Yes," answered Hodder. His surprise deepened to perplexity at the warmth of the handclasp that followed. A smile that brought back vividly to Hodder the sunny expression of the schoolboy in the picture lightened the features of the man.
Lockyer gave him a hearty handclasp, made a few phrases about good wishes and the like, left him alone. The general opinion was that Norman was done for. But Lockyer could not see it. He had seen too many men fall only to rise out of lowest depths to greater heights than they had fallen from. And Norman was only thirty-seven.
The hearty handclasp and kind smile warmed the young officer's heart. General Beech was unusually young for his post as division commander, and he had endeared himself to his followers by his kindly manner and dignified directness, and Lewis would have faced death for him. "Thank you, sir," was all that he said, and "the dark shadow" salaamed according to his custom.
Their speech had been quick, and her eyes were fastened upon his with a look from the old days striving in her to bring back that big moment of their last parting that singular moment when they blindly groped for each other but had perforce to be content with one poor, trembling handclasp! Had that trembling been a weakness or a strength?
It can be as simple as this: "As I count to three, I shall open my eyes and awaken feeling very refreshed. The feeling of the cool ocean breeze and smell of the salt air will have vanished completely." At this point you count to three and open your eyes. Test No. 10 is the "handclasp" test. This is used frequently to test the depth of hypnosis.
