Salemina and I watched the curtsying narrowly, with the view at first of improving our own obeisances for Buckingham Palace; but truth to say we got no added light, and plainly most of the people had not worn threadbare the carpets in front of their dressing-mirrors.
Curtsying low she so told him, and he at once went into the sitting-room where he found it lying on his table. His hand was nervous as he opened it; but if he could have seen how tremulous had been the hand that wrote it! The letter was as follows: I know you will be very much surprised at what I am going to tell you, but I hope you will not judge me harshly.
When the priest told them that it was a mystery, they knew that it was so, and came along bowing and curtsying as if all the persons they met were their betters, though really only one or two were half so good. Miss Muffet ran to them and put her hands in theirs.
Rebecca was curtsying, and endeavouring to make the poor orphan girl curtsy instead of crying, and while Dandie, in his rough way, was encouraging them both, old Pleydell had recourse to his snuff-box. 'It's meat and drink to me now, Colonel, he said, as he recovered himself, 'to see a clown like this. I must gratify him in his own way, must assist him to ruin himself; there's no help for it.
On her way to one of the garden parties she stopped the carriage before old Doby's cottage, and went in to him to speak a few words. She was of pale convolvulus blue that afternoon, and Doby, standing up touching his forelock and Mrs. Welden curtsying, gazed at her with prayer in their eyes. She had a few flowers in her hand, and a book of coloured photographs of Venice.
Then, curtsying to the audience, she said, "I entreat your forgiveness for a movement of vanity which has made me encroach on your patience for half an hour." The nobility and grace of this remark completely upset me, and I ran out to weep like a child, in the garden where no one could see me. "Who is she, this Henriette?"
"'Farewell! repeated she, curtsying slightly, and giving one of her sweetest smiles. "I drove the spurs into my horse's flanks, but holding him firmly on the curb at the same moment, instead of dashing forward, he bounded madly in the air. "'What a pretty creature! said she, as she turned towards the house; then stopping carelessly, she looked round, "'Should you like this bouquet?
Please, sir, that's me," said Hansi, rising and curtsying, and growing very red. The policeman produced a paper in which he entered all sorts of memoranda. "Age and date of birth?" he demanded of Hansi. "Seven years old, of course," answered Hansi. "My birthday is on February 27th, if you want to know. It was on a Sunday last year." "That's beside the question." He looked severe.
He was engaged in what I should call "curtsying"; that is, bending his leg joint, and dropping his plump little body for a second, then bobbing up to his fullest height, repeating the performance constantly, looking eagerly out over the water the while, evidently expecting somebody.
Miss Mordaunt was kind enough to comply literally, both curtsying and smiling precisely as she had been desired to do, though I could see she was also slightly disposed to laugh.
