Some must have the flowering crocus, the wood-starring dogwood, the voice of bluebird even so gross a reminder as the farewell handshake of the retiring buckwheat and oyster before they can welcome the Lady in Green to their dull bosoms. But to old earth's choicest kin there come straight, sweet messages from his newest bride, telling them they shall be no stepchildren unless they choose to be.
That vigorous handshake was enough of itself to convince Ralph Hazeltine that he had made, at any rate, one friend in Orham. And we may as well add here that he had made two. For that evening Jack McLoughlin said to his fellow conspirators: "He said he'd fire me out of the window, ME, mind you! And, by thunder! I believe he'd have DONE it too.
Cullen and I exchanged a perfunctory handshake, which left me without any change in my feelings toward him. "Another of my mistakes, I suppose," Mr. Cullen said quietly. "I am afraid on this occasion, however, that I must trouble you, Mr. Parker. An affair of a few moments only. I won't even suggest Bow Street at present. If you could take a stroll with me even into Luigi's office would do." Mr.
A spark began to glow in the professor's eye, but Callandar's face was guileless. The minister shook hands with professional heartiness, but his gaze, Willits thought, was wandering. He began to feel interested. "Very fine day," he remarked imperturbably. "Lovely, lovely," agreed the minister, still heartily. The mauve lady was waiting for the pastoral handshake, but he did not notice her.
I wish the Committee room wasn't down those abominable House of Commons corridors...." They parted with an affectionate handshake. Section 3 Death approved of Sir Richmond's determination to see the Committee through. Our universal creditor gave this particular debtor grace to the very last meeting.
No handshake, no 'Good luck, fellers' jest a grin like we was goin' to walk round the house and come right back. And the lads that come out with us done the same turned round and quit us without a word. I bet if we lived amongst 'em long we'd git to be dummies, too." For a moment there was silence.
He would have felt easy at heart if the Scotchman had met him with an argument or with a frown or honest opposition or with a hearty handshake, to say that all was well between them. But this cunning lie this cunning protestation that he had been with the new leader from the first, put Andrew on his guard.
No doubt it was, but it was there, for all that. Just one little tender squeeze of that beautiful hand, instead of that candid, overwhelming wrestler's grip and double-knock handshake, would have been so delightful.
"His eminence, Cardinal Christophe, gave these cigars to me when he passed through St. Saviour's five years ago," Jean Jacques had remarked loftily, "and I always smoke one on my birthday. I am a good Catholic, and his eminence rested here for a whole day." He had had a grim pleasure in avoiding the handshake, and in having the Protestant outsider smoke the Catholic cigar!
I felt that they were searching my features for signs of incipient insanity. "Dear, DEAR girl!" bubbled the billowy Flossie, kissing the end of my nose and fastening her eye on my ringless left hand. Sally contented herself with a limp and fishy handshake. She and I were sworn enemies in our school-girl days, and a baleful gleam still lurked in Sally's eye. Mrs.
