"You have got very warm hands, I must say," he said. "What's your name?" "I'm the giant Swede," said the troll. "That was a Swedish hand-shake of yours, anyhow, and now I realise that I am in the Alleberg. Are the golden helmets still asleep?" "Will you be quiet!" exclaimed the giant, threatening him with the red-hot bar.
Personally I didn't care, rather really preferred to come back home modestly and quietly, and without any "fuss and feathers" whatever. Still, I would have felt better to have met at least one person as I passed through the little village who would have given me a hearty hand-shake, and said he was glad to see me home, safe from the war. But it's all right, for many such were met later.
She received the President's condescending, oleaginous hand-shake with a qualm at his loud oratorical voice and plebeian accent, and she headed Cousin Parnelia off from a second mediumistic attack, hating her badly adjusted false-front of hair as intensely as ever Loyola hated a heretic.
At last Brunow shook hands with the lieutenant, and embraced him into the bargain, and kissed him, and was kissed on both cheeks again, the young officer having to go back to his duty. I escaped the kisses and was let off with a hand-shake, with which also I would gladly have dispensed if I could.
The staircase was so narrow that they had considerable difficulty in carrying the baron down; but finally they had him comfortably extended upon his mattress and threw over him a few handsful of straw, which concealed him entirely. "Farewell, then!" said the old farmer, when the last hand-shake had been exchanged, "or rather au revoir, Monsieur le Baron, Madame, and you, my good cure."
He took a card from his pocket-book and scribbled something on it. "When you get to Port Vigor," he said, "show this at the jail and I don't think you'll have any trouble. I happen to know the people there." So after a hand-shake all round I went on again, much cheered by this friendly little incident.
Possibly you may have heard your father speak of me; I have been helping him make sugar for twenty years." Bob smiled up into the eyes of the big man looking down at him. "Indeed Dad has spoken of you, Mr. Hennessey," he said, returning the hearty hand-shake. "He depends on you a lot. He says he always feels sure that when you're on the job everything will be all right." Mr.
Stapleton was in her usual high spirits, and greeted me with an effusive hand-shake. "Hughie told us you were on board," she said, "and he says you are going to stay at our hotel. I am so pleased. Now, you must dine with us to-night no, I won't take a refusal," she added quickly, as I was about to make some excuse. "We shall be such a cheery party just the kind of party I know you love."
Camp, for the letters were hastily produced and given to Singer, who at once handed them to me. I turned with them to the Cullens, and, laughing, quoted, "'All's well that ends well." But they didn't seem to care a bit about the recovery of the letters, and only wanted to have a hand-shake all round over my escape.
He glanced around the room at the walls and rich paneling, and added, "I suppose that's what you have to pay for all this sort of thing?" Before Stacy could reply, a waiting visitor was announced for the second time, and Barker, with another hand-shake and a reassuring smile to his old partner, passed into the hall, as if the onus of any infelicity in the interview was upon himself alone.
