"The old skinflint won't miss it as much as I would a penny," declared our faithful handmaiden. "And I'm sure you've earnt that twenty-five thousand if anyone ever did. You've had as much care and worry about them brats as you would if they'd been your own." "Huldah," I said severely, "there is a pretty stiff penalty for obtaining money under false pretences."
And consider, Larree, if the handmaiden, the choya comes, I can vanish so" the mocking head disappeared, burst forth again "and slay her with the Keth or bid my people seize her and bear her to the Shining One!" Tiny beads of sweat stood out on O'Keefe's forehead, and I knew he was thinking not of himself, but of Lakla. "What do you want with me, Yolara?" he asked hoarsely.
But no labour shall the hand of man appoint unto the people of Mo before the worship of Zomara, the sacred god of the crocodiles, and of the great Naya, his handmaiden.

"Tell them that upon their mouths I place my foot, so!" she stamped upon the dais viciously "and that in their faces I spit!" and her action was hideously snakelike. "And say last to them, you handmaiden, that if you they dare send to Yolara again, she will feed you to the Shining One! Now go!" The handmaiden's face was white. "Not unforeseen by the three was this, Yolara," she replied.
She was, I soon learned, daughter of one of the most learned men of the nation and was handmaiden, do you call it? to the queen." "So it was a monarchy?" interrupted the Big Business Man. "I should never have thought that." "Lylda called their leader a king.
"I am perfectly aware who she is." "But I would fain hear his explanation, mother," said Lady Roos. "What explanation can be offered?" cried Lady Lake. "Do you doubt the evidence of your senses?" "I know not what I doubt, or what I believe," exclaimed Lady Roos distractedly. "Then believe what I tell you, Bess," said her husband. "This is the countess's handmaiden, Gillian Greenford."
A voice, soft and sad, replied, 'A mortal I am indeed, but soon shall I be dead, and as cold as the stone in which I am imprisoned, unless one man help me. The stone was so thick that the voices of both were muffled, so that neither recognised the other. Sir Owen asked who it was who spoke to him. 'I am Elined, handmaiden to the Lady of the Fountain, was the reply. 'Alas! alas! cried Sir Owen.
Where Cheeriness was the handmaiden of morale with the British, Monsieur Élan was with the French. Everybody talked not only with his lips but with his hands and shoulders, in that absence of self-consciousness which gives grace to free expression.
