At last the train came and they started. Clara, though she had with her her best friend I may almost say the friend whom in the world she loved the best did not have an agreeable journey. Belton would not talk; but as he made no attempt at reading, Clara did not like to have recourse to the book which she had in her travelling-bag.
She tried to save her travelling-bag, but, as she told her aunt, she could not hold it any longer than she did. It was wonderful that Bessie was not drowned. If she had not been supported by her clothes, she would have sunk beneath the water, and when she arose would very probably have come up under the boat, so that it would have been impossible to save her.

He remained silent and preoccupied during the evening which followed, pored over a newspaper, and went off to his room early, leaving Ralph dozing in the smoking-room. It was a fine moonlight night, still and clear. He stood at the open window looking out for a few minutes, and then began fumbling in a dilapidated old travelling-bag such as only rich men use.
It can only mean one thing that they're getting ready for me on the other side of the grave." When I touched the question of breakfast he replied that he had his breakfast in his pocket; and he drew from his travelling-bag a phial of morphine. He took a strong dose and went to bed.

"Is he not handsome poor papa?" she asked.
Jones Beyrick, on whom we really had no claim whatever. We all think it so kind of her, and such a nice fish-slice. The other was a beautiful travelling-bag from Uncle Arthur. Stamped in gold upon it were the letters M.C., I said, 'Oh, what a pity! They have put the wrong initials. That made mamma laugh. I suppose one soon gets used to it.
Marian had come out of the study just in time to see him up on the first landing; at the same moment Mrs Yule ascended from the kitchen. 'Wasn't that father? 'Yes, he has gone up. 'Did he say anything? Marian shook her head. They looked at the travelling-bag, then went into the parlour and waited in silence for more than a quarter of an hour.
Here she comes." "I am ready," said Margaret, coming in, followed by her maid, who held her mistress's travelling-bag. Count Schulenberg darted forward to offer his arm, but she waved him away. "Follow me," said she, passing at once through the secret opening. Schulenberg followed, "sighing like a furnace," and looking daggers at the confidante, who in her turn looked sneeringly at him.
