There he paused. "You will remain by him to the end?" he bade the surgeon interrogatively. Master Tobias bowed. "Of course, Sir John." And he added, "'Twill not be long." Sir John looked across at Lionel again a glance of valediction. "God rest him!" he said hoarsely, and passed out.
These, and many more, are common expressions which Anglo-Canadians share with the stay-at-home type of Englishman. But the special point is that, like the American, the Canadian is still more nautical than the Englishman in his everyday use of sea terms. 'So long! in the sense of good-bye is a seaport valediction commoner in Canada than in England.
Malone fares somewhat better; and the rest are dismissed with the gentle valediction of Pandarus to the Trojans "asses, fools, dolts! chaff and bran! porridge after meat!"
As the prisoners were removed, Nance Redferne looked round her, and, catching the eye of Nicholas, made a slight motion with her head, as if bidding him farewell. The squire returned the mute valediction. "Poor Nance!" he exclaimed, compassionately, "I sincerely pity her. Would there was any means of saving her!" "There is none," observed Sir Ralph Assheton.
In the magnum opus, the author's final edition of the Waverley Novels, "Rob Roy" appears out of its chronological order, and comes next after "The Antiquary." In this, as in other matters, the present edition follows that of 1829. "The Antiquary," as we said, contained in its preface the author's farewell to his art. This valediction was meant as prelude to a fresh appearance in a new disguise.
I have looked over it now, for the first time since it was published; and have been struck by it for this reason: it contains the last words which I ever spoke as an Anglican to Anglicans. It may now be read as my parting address and valediction, made to my friends. I little knew it at the time. It reviews the actual state of things, and it ends by looking towards the future.
The variety of expression is so great that no two poems are in the same mood. In Love, Death, and Life we have one of the most passionate love-poems in American literature; in The Pasture Bars the valediction has the soft, pure tone of a silver bell. Professor Beers has both vigour and grace. His fastidious taste permits him to write little, and to print only a small part of what he writes.
This continued nearly three hours. At half-past ten, baffled, mortified and angry, he withdrew. One admiring biographer declares that he yelled to the mob as a parting valediction, "Abolitionists of Chicago, it is now Sunday morning. I will go to church while you go to the devil in your own way."
That speech made me so mad I 'most forgot it was time for Tom's valediction. Honey-bird, I wisht you coulder seen him and heard him." "I wish I could," answered Miss Wingate with a flush. "Dearie me, but he was handsome and he spoke words of sense that the other gray-haired man seemed to have forgot!
"Lord Marshmoreton will not require your help tonight," she said. "He will not be working." "Good night," said Billie. "Good night," said Lady Caroline. Percy scowled a valediction. "Money," resumed Lady Caroline, "is immaterial. Maud is in no position to be obliged to marry a rich man. What makes the thing impossible is that Mr. Bevan is nobody. He comes from nowhere.
