Notes

Clarks description:

(meaning: falling behind)

Bring left hand, back up, well out in front of body, about opposite left breast, index finger extended, pointing to left front and slightly upwards, others and thumb closed; bring right hand similarly fixed in rear, little to right, trifle lower than left, so that index finger of right hand shall be parallel to left index, tip of right index just over knuckles of left index; draw the right hand to right and rear, keeping index finger pointing in same direction.

This refers specially to time; and to convey the idea of a short time after, the right hand would be moved very little. Long time, longer distance, and for very long time, the right hand is draw as far as possible to rear, and the left pushed well to the front. Some Indians make simply the sign for WAIT. The description of, and remakes made in regard to, BEHIND, apply to AFTER.
