Could he leave all these for the sake of the joyful message of his Lord? Now imagination pictured the leavetaking. How the familiar scenes of his home and native city remonstrated with his choice! In fancy he wrung for the last time his father's hand, he bade one last farewell to the flower-dressed grave of his gentle mother, and and Winifred! A dry, tearless sob shook him.
But with an eye to the main chance as usual, he ingeniously caused it to be understood at court, without making positive statements to that effect, that his departure was final. On his leavetaking, accordingly, he received larger presents from the crown than had been often given to a retiring ambassador.
It was written after my escape and recapture, and detailed how, rather than risk the scene that would be sure to ensue, should I announce my intention of departing to my friend, the Confederate Colonel, and fearing I might be overcome by such an affecting leavetaking, that I concluded to start at three o'clock in the morning, while he was still sleeping, and thus spare not only him, but myself, an interview that would certainly be embarrassing to one or both of us.

About a year later Priestley saw again Washington, who had finished his second term of office. 'I went to take leave of the late president. He seemed not to be in very good spirits. He invited me to Mt.
I infused a shade more civility into my leavetaking than Mr. Bundercombe's words invited. As soon as the door was closed behind the two men I returned to the study.

I shook open an evening paper and heard no more. The girl's leavetaking, however, a few minutes later, was both reluctant and impressive. I felt it my duty to allude to the matter as soon as we were alone. "You know, sir," I said, "this helping young women to set up in business is a proceeding that's very likely to be misunderstood over here.
I'll be back again, Miss Clementina!" Gregory was going away without any form of leavetaking; but he turned back to ask, "Will you let me come back, too?" "Why, suttainly, Mr. Gregory," said Clementina, and she went to find Mrs. Lander, whom she found in bed. "I thought I'd lay down," she explained.
The dame had taken the good will for the good deed, and had not looked the gift-horses too closely in the mouth. "Good night, Mattha Branthet," she said, in answer to his good by; "good night, and God bless thee." Matthew had opened the door, and was looking out preparatory to his final leavetaking. "The sky's over-kessen to-neet," he said. "There's na moon yit, and t'wind's high as iver.
Wandless's that the stars came out earlier that white, winter evening to add their blessing! Those who resent as an impertinence the chronicler's intrusion upon the scene may here depart and slam the door, if such violence truly express their sentiments. Others, averse to precipitous leavetaking, may linger, hat in hand, for the epilogue.
