After a half hour's delay, the door was once more thrown open, and a venerable old Turk entered: he salaamed three times most reverently, and motioned to us to be seated, declining, at the same time, by a gentle gesture of his hand, our invitation. He was followed by a train of six persons, all splendidly attired, and attesting, by their costume and manner, the rank and importance of their chief.
Bennett rang the bell joyfully, and presently there entered a grave, thin, intellectual-looking man who looked like a duke, only more respectable. This was Webster, Mr. Bennett's valet. He carried in one hand a small mug of hot water, reverently, as if it were a present of jewellery. "Good morning, sir." "Morning, Webster," said Mr. Bennett. "Rather late, eh?"
"When we were children, Tom and I, we hung him on our Christmas tree," went on Miss Terry. "We think he brought you to us. We believe he has changed the world for us, has brought us peace, good-will, and happiness. He is going to be the guardian angel of our house. You must love him, Mary." "How beautiful he is!" said Mary reverently. "His face shines like the Baby's that I saw once in the Church.
If the curate and the Indian are both on horseback, then the Indian should stop and take off his hat or salakot reverently; and finally, if the Indian is on horseback and the curate on foot, the Indian should alight and not mount again until the curate has told him to go on, or is far away. This is what the holy decrees say and he who does not obey will be excommunicated."
The subject which in the hands of the scientific student is handled decorously, reverently, we might almost say, becomes repulsive, shameful, and debasing in the unscrupulous manipulations of the low-bred man of letters.
He served the embryo Union with most precious service a service that every man, woman and child in our thirty-eight States is to some extent receiving the benefit of to-day and I for one here cheerfully, reverently throw my pebble on the cairn of his memory.
It was a curious sight to see these old people go in turn up to these two little mites and go down on their knees and kiss their little hands reverently in silence.
And now you know the truth, have guessed something of it, you will see that I have either to face the music, plead guilty to the charge and go to prison, or get out of it by the only way." It was she who hid her face now. He saw that she was trembling; he knew that she was struggling with her tears; he went round to her and laid his hand on her shoulder, very gently, almost reverently.
John William Bloke, of Virginia City, walked into the office where we are sub-editor at a late hour last night, with an expression of profound and heartfelt suffering upon his countenance, and, sighing heavily, laid the following item reverently upon the desk, and walked slowly out again.
I had meant to tell of his cottage, with the German pipe hung reverently above the fire, and the shell box that he had made for his son, and of which he would say pathetically: "He was real pleased wi' it at first, but I think he's got a kind o' tired o' it now" the son being then a man of about forty. But I will let all these pass. "'Tis more significant: he's dead."
