"You are thought prudent, sir!" "Ah! an enemy hath said this." Gaston looked towards the Ladies Gallery. Delia's eyes were on him; Alice was gone. A half-hour later he stood in the lobby, waiting for Mrs. Gasgoyne, Lady Dargan, and Delia to come. He had had congratulations in the House; he was having them now. Presently some one touched him on the arm. "Not so bad, Cadet."
The entertainment of her boy and girl friends continued gaily, despite the breaking of the big cutglass dish. It was almost eleven o'clock when the party broke up and the guests began to leave, shouting their congratulations to Stella as they went. Janice and Amy Carringford found Gummy waiting for them at the front gate. "Oh, Gummy!" whispered Janice, "did you see her?" "Sure," declared the boy.
A regularity and obedience. Congratulations. There is no truth in the decision which is in the center. When the center is not in a line but in a circle a tub, a whole tub is necessary. The sorrow is not satisfied by the moon and motion, it is urged to be strong and to save a specimen.
The potentate was profuse in his congratulations to the two gentlemen on their escape from death in the shipwreck, and this afforded Lord Tremlyn an opportunity to present Captain Ringgold as the commander of the steamer that had saved them. "He is my friend, then," said the Maharajah, as he gave him no equivocal shake of the hand.
The beautiful weather favored the skillful maneuvers of the army, and they performed prodigies of valor. The cavalry charges especially were executed with so much precision that the Emperor sent his congratulations to the regiments.
Again every one crowded about her with congratulations. Some said: "He never even saw any of US. His eyes were all for YOU! They flashed fire as he looked at you." "You have conquered his heart," others said, "and you can do what you like with him. The salvation of Poland is in your hands." The company broke up at an early hour, but Mme. Walewska was asked to remain.
The officials naturally at once offered the assistant clerk their congratulations, and accepted the invitation with pleasure. Akaky Akakiyevich would have declined; but all declared that it was discourteous, that it was simply a sin and a shame, and that he could not possibly refuse.
Crewe is being congratulated, and we know enough of his character to appreciate the modesty with which the congratulations are accepted. He is the same Humphrey Crewe that he was before he became the corner-stone of the temple; success is a mere outward and visible sign of intrinsic worth in the inner man, and Mr. Crewe had never for a moment underestimated his true value.
A good many comments and congratulations have passed of late touching the change of system introduced into one of our official strongholds, which dates from the days of the Plantagenets, perhaps earlier; for Sir J. Herschel, as Master of the Mint, has made his first Report to the Lords of the Treasury concerning the money-coining establishment over which he presides, with little ostentation, but much benefit.
Now, having with lover's haste made good progress with all he had to do, Nobili has come down to the club to meet his friends, and to receive their congratulations. Every hand is stretched out toward him. Even Ruspoli, spite of obvious jealousy, liked him. Nobili's face is lit up with its sunniest smile. Having shaken hands with him, an ominous silence ensues.
