"They are in the parlor, waiting. I don't know what news they bring." There was a brightness in his eyes that meant unmistakable things to his two companions. They laid aside their pipes, tidied up a bit, and went down to the stuffy salon. The two women rose as the men entered. There was good cheer and handshaking. O'Mally's heart sank, however, as he touched the hand of La Signorina.
At the same time he pointed to a deerskin seat on the raised floor of the hut, where Kannoa had already placed a stone dish of smoking viands. The smile which had overspread Rooney's face at the handshaking faded away as he laid his hand on the old woman's shoulder, and, stooping down, gazed at her with an expression of great tenderness. Ah!
I have sometimes thought that people who have this rare privilege do not appreciate it as they should. It is such a rest and relief to get away from crowds of people, and handshaking, and travelling, to get home, even if it be for but a very brief while.
There was, then, over this meeting, much ado with handshaking and compliments, handshaking and questions; and, as in all cases like this, every one talked at once. How was old New York? How was the winter in Cairo? And so forth and so on, till a policeman politely told them that this was not a private thoroughfare, and that they were blocking the way.
"Why the deuce didn't you tell us this before, Don Carlos?" The officers had taken their leave after much handshaking and bowing. Left alone with Don Carlos, Standish, and with Lady Fermanagh, who had been a silent and puzzled witness of the proceedings, Myra suddenly felt her self-possession deserting her, and fled back to her own room.
"Keep up your speech-making and your handshaking until your wife gets murdered in her bed but, by God, sir, if Virginia doesn't secede after this, I'll secede without her!" The coach moved on and the Governor, touching his horse with the whip, rode rapidly down the hill. As he descended into the valley, a thick mist rolled over him and the road lost itself in the blur of the surrounding fields.
Baudin showed him the copy which he had just made. Millière went up to him. "You do not know me," said he; "my name is Millière; but I know you, you are Baudin." Baudin held out his hand to him. I was present at the handshaking between these two spectres. Xavier Durrieu, who was editor of the Révolution made the same offer as Millière.
During the conversation I confided to them my trepidation about meeting the Queen, but they assured me that Her Majesty was a very kind lady and that I need have no fear, whatever, of any breach of court etiquette. After a warm handshaking, they bade me good-bye and said they would see me on the morrow.
"My name's Dobbins," smiled the farmer, extending his hand. "Glad to meet you, Prescott. I thought it was you all the time. Mebbe the young man with you is Darrin." "Yes," laughed Dick, and there was more handshaking. "I hope I'll see the rest of your friends when you pass in the morning," said the farmer cordially. "Hiram -supper!" called a shrill voice from The doorway. "Coming, mother!
Weatherbee." Courtesy to an older woman prompted Jane to rise. Her tone, however, was one of strained politeness. There was no move made toward handshaking by either. "I was greatly surprised to learn that you wished to see me, Miss Allen," was the matron's first remark after seating herself in the chair before her writing desk. Mrs. Weatherbee's intonations were decidedly accusing.
