Mistake.—Throw the middle joints of "Y" hand once or twice against chin, so the chin is between the thumb and little finger. VII, 147.
Discuss.—Throw the forefinger of right "G" hand on palm of open left (as one often emphasizes his points) and repeat several times.
Argue, Debate.—Repeat preceding motion first with one hand, then the other, to indicate that there are two parties to the discussion.
Agree.—Place end of right "G" hand against center of forehead; bring finger down in front pointing out, and bring the other forefinger up alongside parallel to it but not touching. VII, 148.
Honor.—Point "H" toward imaginary person; draw hand back toward you, lifting the end so that it describes a small curve. VII, 149.
Respect.—Motion similar to above but use letter "R."
Admire.—Same as "like" but make more slowly and deliberately and add sign of honor.
Announce, Make known.—Place the forefingers of "G" hands held horizontally under the lip, ends toward each other; throw hands out, letting them separate so the ends of the fingers describe semi-circles outward. To indicate something is published and announced in a newspaper, press hands palm upon palm, horizontally to indicate motion of printing, and then proceed as above. VII, 150.
