There were little square covers for the ink and sand-bottles; and on the under sides of these were painted a pair of faces; very ruddy in the cheeks they were, with staring eyes and smiling mouths; and one of them wore a pair of black side-whiskers. They were done by my father, with oil colors filched from my mother's paint-box.
"Oh, father! I found this book in the shop, packed away on a top shelf, and I want to borrow it. I only want to borrow it. And I've bought this paint-box, out of auntie's half-sovereign. I paid Miss Ingamells the full price... I thought I'd have a go at some of these architecture things." Darius glared at the copy. "Humph!" "It's only just started, you know."
One reason a boy of seventeen oughtn't to have evening clothes is the way he behaves with ANY clothes. Forty dollars! Why, only this summer he sat down on Jane's open paint-box, twice in one week!" "Well Miss Pratt IS going away, and the dance will be her last night. I'm afraid it would really hurt him to miss it.

"It's called weep, my dear," said nurse, "when it's done by kings and queens." "Well, I should weep," said Amy. "And I make my wills quite differently to Susie. I made a will this morning when it rained. You know you said you were going to give me a paint-box on my birthday, nursie! Well, if I live till my birthday, I'm going to leave it back to you in my will."
The king at last sent the paint-box, with some birds of his own shooting, which he wished painted. He also wanted himself drawn, and all Grant's pictures copied. Then, to wind up these mild requests, a demand was made for more powder, and that all our guns be sent to the palace for inspection. 31st.

Behind this butterfly again stood another, who after a while took his place, while the first attendant flew away. "To fill his paint-box again," remarked the cuckoo, who seemed to read Griselda's thoughts. "But what are they painting, cuckoo?" she inquired eagerly.
