He was stripped to the waist, with a wreath of white jasmine as thick as my wrist round his forehead, a salmon colored loin-cloth round his middle, and a steel bangle on each ankle. This was not awe-inspiring. It was the face of the man that turned me cold. It was blue-grey in the first place.
She was dressed with exceeding smartness and wore several bangle bracelets that glittered and rattled and tinkled with every movement of her hands. Matthew was covered with confusion at finding her there at all; and those bangles completely wrecked his wits at one fell swoop. "What can I do for you this evening, Mr. Cuthbert?"
He wears almost too many clothes, for he is the type that would look over-dressed in a bangle. "We might have an eight or ten weeks' run about England," the Dragon went on, "while things are being made straight at Graylees. It would be good to see something of the blessed old island again before settling down."
"No, Miss Carmel, it was just where you thought you had left it in the field where you had lunch. I got up early and fetched it before breakfast," replied Johnson pausing on the doorstep. "You went all that way! How kind of you! Thank you ever so much!" exclaimed Carmel, clasping her bangle on her wrist again. "I can't tell you how pleased I am to have it!"
"Would Dalziel approve?" he asked, smiling, as I thrust the bangle into his hand. "You showed it to me in Texas as a 'filopena present' from Tony." "You remember that, too? This is the one thing I've kept to remind me of poor Tony." "Poor Tony, indeed, if you've sent him about his business."
Two stray shepherds turned up half famished and naked, with long, unkempt heads of hair, and merely a coral necklace and a silver bangle by way of clothing.

He looked painfully ill.
This was almost exactly where he had been found on the previous night, under the great safe. Again, the left arm lay toward the safe. But there had been a new outrage, an attempt had been made to sever the arm close to the bangle which held the tiny key.
The daylight faded when Raghunath came back to the teacher tired and dripping. He panted and said, "I can still get it back if you show me where it fell." The teacher took up the remaining bangle and throwing it into the water said, "It is there." To move is to meet you every moment, Fellow-traveller! It is to sing to the falling of your feet.
Why, that one poor little silver bangle I had when I was fifteen did more to give me pure joy than any of the beautiful things I've bought this whole last year. I'm sorry if it seems ungrateful to my bloated bank-account, but it's true. Another thing, Tom. I was brought up to work. I won't say I liked it. I don't think many people who've got to work do like it.
