e extremities of the fingers. The fifth step is formed by a rapid rotation of the hand. Second Gesture. _Thanks--Affectionate and Ceremonious._ This gesture consists of six steps: 1. Consists in lifting the hand and lowering the head. 2. Consists in raising the hand to the hip. 3. The head inclines to one side, and the elbow at the same time rises to aid the hand in reaching the lips. 4. In this, the head resumes its normal position, while the elbow is lowered to bring back the hand to the same position. 5. In this, the hand passes from the horizontal to the vertical position, rounding toward the arm. 6. In this, the arm is developed, and then the hand. Third Gesture. _Attraction._ In this gesture there are three steps: 1. The hand turns toward the interlocutor with an appealing aspect. 2. The hand opens like a fan with the little finger tending toward the chest. 3. The elbow is turned outward, and the hand passes toward the breast. Fourth Gesture. _Surprise and Assurance._ 1. This consists in elevating the shoulders, opening the eyes and mouth and raising the eyebrow; the whole in token of surprise. 2. Raise the passive hand above the chin, making it turn around the wrist. 3. The hand still passive, is directed toward the person addressed, the elbow being pressed against the body. 4. The arm is gradually extended toward the person addressed, while the hand is given an opposite direction; that is, the palm of the hand is toward him. Fifth Gesture. _Devotion._ This gesture embraces seven movements: 1. This consists in raising the passive hand to the level of the other hand, but in an inverse direction. 2. This consists in turning back the hand toward one's self. 3. This consists in drawing the elbows to the body, and placing the hands on the chest. 4. This is produced by taking a step backward, and turning a third to one side; during the execution of this step, the elbows are raised, and the head is lowered. 5. This consists in drawing the elbows near the body, and placing the hands above the shoulders. 6. This consists in developing the arms. 7. This consists in developing the hands. Sixth Gesture. _Interrogative Surprise._ This surprise is expressed in two movements: 1. This is wholly facial. 2. This is made by advancing the hand and drawing the head backward. Seventh Gesture. _Reiterated Interrogation._ T
