Chrysantheme squats like a gipsy before a certain square box, made of red wood, which contains a little tobacco-jar, a little porcelain stove full of hot embers, and finally a little bamboo pot serving at the same time as ash-tray and cuspidor.
"You will think me presumptuous to have said so much. You must forgive a shy man who means no ill. Of course, you know that. What I pray for this coming year is that you will not forget it." There was a long silence, and I fixed my eyes on a brass ash-tray and a row of corn-cobs that stood on a little table by the radiator.
He'd be one who did things, and did them better than others; and to do things he'd have to be where others are. No, I never could live here." Scotty dropped the dead cigarette stump into an ash-tray, and brushed a stray speck of dust from his sleeve. "In other words, you could never care for such a man as your father," he remarked quietly.
He had offered an identical assurance to many a hesitant amateur. "Is your model for The Circassian really very pretty?" "She is; but of a more ordinary type than you, kid. You are simply a nymph in human shape. You will send the critics crazy." He watched her with scarcely veiled eagerness, and Flamby, placing the end of her cigarette in a silver ash-tray, seemed to be thinking.
I want to know now about yourself, and how you have been making out. It's a comfort, anyway, to know that you are alive."

He was gazing into the blaze, his head on his hand, and his quick start and turn as the door of the smoking-room opened showed him to be not merely thoughtful but expectant. He sprang up. "Is that you, Oliver?" He came forward eagerly.
He put down in front of me an ash-tray, the matches and a and a well, as I say, a cigar. I examined it slowly. Half of it looked very tired. "Well," said Charles, "what do you think of it?"
