Some years later I saw him for the last time, one day after his lecture on Lincoln, in that city, when he came down from the platform to speak with some handshaking friends who gathered about him.
A few steps around a projecting bluff brought us within sight of what appeared to me a magnificent palace of alabaster. This palace I soon learned was a hotel, or place of resort for travellers. In ascending its polished steps I was met by some half dozen persons whom I had known. You may be sure a wonderful handshaking ensued.
Olaf and Thorgils swore foster brotherhood, and they took oath in handshaking that they would bring this viking to his bane. That oath did Olaf fulfil this day, when he drove his axe into Klerkon's head." Sigurd rose from his seat and stood before the queen. "And now," said he, "my story is at an end, and you know of what kin this boy has come.
The last frantic handshaking was over, and only wind-blown kisses and parting injunctions passed back and forth as the distance between the voyagers and their escort kept continually increasing, until nothing could be heard but the hearty cheers that wished for us a pleasant journey and unbounded success.
An overwhelming sense of the sordidness and narrowness of it all seized him; he looked in vain for his mother, kissed coldly the tall, strange girl who called him brother, spoke a short, dry word here and there; then, lingering neither for handshaking nor gossip, started silently up the street, raising his hat merely to the last eager old aunty, to her open-mouthed astonishment.
I was introduced to the whole party seriatim and as each of the cock legs dropped his trams, he started up, caught hold of my hand, and wrung it as if I had been his dearest and oldest friend. Were I to designate Jamaica as a community, I would call it a handshaking people.
He lingered a moment over his handshaking with Randolph. "Awfully glad to have met you, and I fancy you're awfully glad to get rid of what they call your 'trust. Must have given you a beastly lot of bother, eh might have given you more?"
Blossom saw him on the floor, she rushed towards him with outspread arms; but the Milesian warded off the assault, and took her right hand. "Don't hug me, Aunty, for the snake swallowed me clothes and all, and you may get some of the poison on you," said he. For some time longer there was a general handshaking, and Louis was kissed by the Princess Zuleima.
Had he told you, to put you up to the hand-shaking device?" "He never said a word. The handshaking was my own brilliant idea. When I found what I did find out I went away and had a good cry in mamma's room." This speech was an effort on Gwen's part to get a little nearer ever so little to Marcus Curtius; nearer, that is, to her metaphorical parallel of his heroism.
In the crowd that collected at the government storehouse were the rajah and most of the officers of the place. The handshaking was all done over again, and pleasant wishes were extended to the "Big Four" as the Blanchita cast off her fasts. The Delhi was already under way, and going at full speed down the river.
