Nothing could be more cordial, Redmond said, than Sir Edward Carson's manner to him. They met as old friends, and I believe that when they parted, one asked the other that they should have "one good shake-hands for the sake of old times on the Munster circuit."
When I'd gone a mile or two there was Jim riding steadily along the road, looking very dull and down-like, just the way he used to do when he was studying how to get round a job of work as he wasn't used to. He brightens up a bit when he sees me, and we both jumped off, and had a good shake-hands and a yarn. I told him about mother and Aileen, and how I'd left dad all by himself.
He made a motion toward the ceremony of 'shake-hands; but, perceiving no correspondent overture, grinned, "It is warm ha?" "You feel the heat? Step outside a minute," said Wilfrid. "Oh, no!" Mr. Pericles looked pleasantly sagacious. "Ze draught a cold." "Will you come?" pursued Wilfrid. "Many sanks!" Wilfrid's hand was rising.
As he rose to go Scarlett wished his host good-night with a hearty shake-hands. "'Good-night good-night; we shall meet again on Monday." Alas!

He lingered by the side of Lady Montfort, who bowed to those who came, but who could spare few consecutive words, even to Mr. Wilton, for her watchful eye expected every moment to be summoned to descend her marble staircase and receive her royal guests.

'There was another question that I much desired to speak of, and here he hesitated and faltered; 'but perhaps, on every score, it is as well I should defer it till my return to Ireland. 'You know best, whatever it is, said the old man dryly. 'Yes, I think so. I am sure of it. 'A hurried shake-hands followed, and he was gone.
As the carriage containing their loved proprietor drove along the gravelled roads we noticed that several of the domestics, unable to restrain their welcomes, ran to his carriage and gave and received salutations.

You must be commonplace, and even vulgar, practical, dashed with a small morality, so as not to be classed with the low Radical; and if then you have a bit of high-faluting for the peroration, you'll do. The morning papers will call you a young man of great promise, and the whip will never pass you without a shake-hands. 'But there are good speakers.
