"Yes, sir; she surprised me the other night. By George, if she didn't." "We must give her a nice little send-off," said the manager. "I'll look after the flowers." Drouet smiled at his good-nature. "After the show you must come with me and we'll have a little supper." "I think she'll do all right," said Drouet. "I want to see her. She's got to do all right.
Let the rows be six feet apart; set out the plants in the fall, if possible, or EARLY spring; put two plants in the hills, which may be four feet apart. If the ground is very poor, give the young plants a shovelful of old compost, decayed leaves, etc. Any fertilizer will answer, so that it is spread just over the roots to give the plants a good send-off.
I booked my passage by her, and was informed she would sail at 5 a.m. on a certain day. I was staying at the Criterion Hotel, on the beach, where the evening previous to my intended departure, I was given a send-off, which lasted into well-advanced morning. Owing to this I missed the boat. A few hours afterwards it was blowing a cyclone. Spray came over the hotel.
At Flame Point they burned blue rockets or flares on the shore at dusk to give us a send-off. Gradually we swung around Gaspe Peninsula as dusk closed in. It was then we learned that sealed orders had been given the Captain to rendezvous at Gaspe Basin. Soon we came in sight of the lights that mark the entrance to this harbor.
From the description he gives we figure out that he's been somewhere up on Washington Heights and has got into an argument with a janitor that didn't like being rung up from the basement and asked how far it was to Whitehall-st. Well, we fixes him up, writes out all the partic'lars of his route on a card, and gives him a fresh send-off.
After all, this may be the right way. The new-comer has not yet been tried, whereas if he has done his duty during his time of office, it is at the point of his departure that display of gratitude is becoming. If the head of a mission has to go to England on furlough, the residents at the mission-station will probably give him a tremendous send-off, even if he is not particularly popular.
"Look here, I just wanted to tell you, you must be sure and join us to-night. We are going to give Schilsky a jolly send-off." They stood at the corner of the WACHTERSTRASSE; it was a blowy day. Maurice replied evasively, with his eyes on the unbound volume of Beethoven that Furst was carrying; its tattered edges moved in the wind. "When does he go?" he asked, without any show of concern.
I wish I could have seen you tackling the Afridis you were mentioned in the papers after that last scrimmage, and they gave you a rousing send-off. You deserve the Victoria Cross, and you would get it if you were a soldier." "I didn't fight for glory," Jack muttered, bitterly. "I'm the most unlucky beggar alive." Jimmie looked at him curiously.
The train moved out of the depôt, and wended its way in the most casual manner through the streets of Havre. This so amused Tommy that he roared with laughter. The people who rushed to give the train a send-off, with many cries of "Vive les Anglais," "A bas les Bosches," were greeted with more bleatings and brayings. The journey through France was quite uneventful.
As our train rolled over the zig-zag road out of Ithaca, we had a source of consolation in the fact that we had evaded the send-off which the Cornell men had planned in the expectation that we were to leave on the later train. There were no outstretched hands at Princeton for our homecoming.
