A small bowl of beaten brass, which he used as an ash-receiver, stood ready to his hand; he took it up, carefully blew it clean of dust, and inverted it over the print of the hand. On top of the bowl he placed a weighty afterthought in the shape of a book. "O'Hagan!" "Waitin', sor." "Come hither, O'Hagan. You see that desk?" "Yissor." "Are you sure?" "Ah, faith "
The air within the room was blue and reeking with the odor of stale tobacco-smoke, and the ash-receiver at his elbow was piled high with burnt offerings, one of which was now sending an evil-smelling streamer toward the ceiling. Pope rose at Adoree's entrance, eying her anxiously. "Is everything all right?" he cried. "Is what all right?" "The er Lorelei." "Oh yes! What are you doing here?"
Distribute it equally among the different parcels of wort, afterwards mix the whole together, and leave the liquor till it comes down to about sixty degrees of heat. The next removal is into the tun-tub, in which capacity C, without the addition of E, will serve very well. While the liquor is cooling, remove the spent hops from E, the stove pipe from B, the ash-receiver from the bottom.
Meanwhile he held the charred match between thumb and forefinger. Becoming conscious of this fact, he smiled in deprecation of his absent-minded mood, looked for the ash-receiver, discovered it in place, inverted beneath the book; and frowned, remembering.
"Excuse me," I said, "but I am looking for a birthday present for my wife which will make all the neighbors jealous, and which I can use afterwards as an ash-receiver or a pocket flask."

"You mean that you're ignorant of its contents and its nature?" he asked. She met his glance frankly. "I mean that I haven't any idea of its contents or its purpose." He slowly tapped his cigarette against the swinging brass ash-receiver. "Wouldn't it be well, my dear Madame X, to lay your cards on the table all your cards?" "I'm perfectly willing, if you'll do likewise," she replied instantly.
"And it means that my lady here returned the jewels to Maitland by hiding them under a brass ash-receiver on his desk ass that I was not to know!... You are 'cute, my lady!" with an ironic salute to the girl, "but you've met your match in Anisty." "And," demanded the other as the burglar snatched up his hat and coat, "what will you do, Anisty?" "Do?" contemptuously.
Would they have power to protect her from evil and suffering? Well, the words of the Prayer settle that question most wisely. How silent the house was and how light it was out-doors! Sophie rose from her chair by the fire and walked slowly to the window. A board creaked beneath her quiet foot and a red coal fell with a gentle thud into the ash-receiver.
"Come, Stirling," said the previous questioner, "the thing's been messed so that we've got to go into convention with just the right man to rally the delegates. There's only one man we can do it with, and you know it." Peter rose, and dropped his cigar-stump into the ash-receiver. "I don't see anything else," he said, gloomily. "Do any of you?" A moment's silence, and then Number One said: "No."
I shall just do something on "The Disjunctive Conjunctions in 'Paradise Lost," and let it go at that! "He got up to reach for the ash-receiver.
