If he were only at home now, and if he only had known how his little mistress was weeping for him amid her playthings and his two new balls and a brass-studded collar with a silver plate on which was his name, Satan Dean; and if Dinnie could have seen him now, her heart would have broken; for the tall boy raised his gun.
It goaded her into something like an impertinence. "After you have married her," she said, "you'll see." "You will be hers then," he declared. "I will be yours." Her eyes leaped along the prospect and rested on a brass-studded Tartar shield at the other end of the room. "And I thought you broad in these views," Lindsay said, glancing at her curiously.
Finally Rolf called to Alwin: "Ho there, Englishman! Come hither and tell me what you think of this for a weapon." It needed no urging to make Alwin exchange a broom for a sword. He came and lifted the great blade, and made passes in the air, and examined the hilt of brass-studded wood. "Saw I never a finer weapon," he admitted.
He was coming, but the press before us was thick. So we fought, and I fell to thinking what a wondrous sword this was which Carl the Great had given me. It shore the spear shafts, and the brass-studded shields seemed to split before it touched them, and the tough leather jerkins of the forest men could not hold its edge back.

When therefore the seafaring merchant of the Vier Marchi, whose massive, brass-studded bahue had been as a gay bazaar where the gentry of Jersey refreshed their wardrobes, with one eye closed when he was transferred to the Vier Prison, little wonder he should become a dreadful being round whom played the lightnings of dark fancy.
Round boxes, baskets or bags on either arm and even the rainy-day umbrella, they waited in delicious expectancy the serving man fetching the brass-studded cowhide trunk, to the very last moment when to Henriette's surprise the blind girl pouted and drew back! She groped until her fingers touched a chair, then sat down kerplump! "I won't go!" announced Louise firmly.
"Then after all," he said, "you're not my friend." It goaded her into something like an impertinence. "After you have married her," she said, "you'll see." "You will be hers then," he declared. "I will be yours." Her eyes leaped along the prospect and rested on a brass-studded Tartar shield at the other end of the room.
When he and his master went out to prowl about University Place or to promenade along West Street, Caesar III was invariably fresh and shining.
