He declined graciously, then with a pleased expression, drew a small brown-paper parcel from his trousers pocket and handed it to us, leaned forward, clasped his arms about his pony, rested his head on its neck, and smilingly watched Georgia unwrap it, and two beautiful bunches of raisins come to view, one for each. He would not touch a single berry, nor let us save any.
The material met with the customer's approval, a price was agreed upon, and with incredible celerity the vendor made up the purchase into a brown-paper parcel, and stowed it away in Chichikov's koliaska. At this moment a voice asked to be shown a black frockcoat. "The devil take me if it isn't Khlobuev!" muttered our hero, turning his back upon the newcomer. Unfortunately the other had seen him.
The well-tutored Puckers, dressed in faded splendour, and holding a brown-paper parcel in her hand, was waiting for her young lady at the corner of the Square. While thus engaged she witnessed a bargain, of an unusual nature, made apparently under extraordinary pressure of circumstances.
He made no reply, however, in spite of the temptation to defend himself; but stooped to pick up a diminutive black suede glove which his visitor had dropped when she took up the putter. She thanked him and put it on, depositing, while she did so, her other glove, her handkerchief, sunshade and a small brown-paper parcel upon the writing-table at her side.
In passing this emporium, Miss Nellie's quick eye had discovered a cheap brown linen duster hanging in its window. To purchase it, and put it over her delicate cambric dress, albeit with a shivering sense that she looked like a badly folded brown-paper parcel, did not take long.

We all went into Maidstone, and came back with the most beautiful lot of brown-paper parcels, with things inside that supplied long-felt wants.
I meant to send it by post, but if you " "Of course! With pleasure!" He seemed to implore her. "It's quite small," she said, rising and going to the sideboard, on which lay a little brown-paper parcel. His eye followed her. She picked up the parcel, glanced at it, and offered it to him. "I'll take it across on Monday night," he said fervently. "Thanks." She remained standing; he got up.
Everything seemed mixed-up and confounded in one uniform silver grey or light brown tint like that of fading and faded leaves. Not a green leaf anywhere, and the flowers which were abundant enough in the tertiary period, which first gave birth to flowers looked like brown-paper flowers, without colour or scent. My uncle Liedenbrock ventured to penetrate under this colossal grove.
Rathburn gazed at the boy sternly as he touched a match to his brown-paper cigarette. "My horse is all right, ain't he?" "Sure he is," said the boy eagerly. "I bet he can go some, too. He'd have to go for you to have him, wouldn't he? You're The Coyote!" Rathburn continued to smile with an amused tolerance.
"What kind of a parcel?" "A brown-paper parcel, like clothing done up." "And the gentleman?" "I did not see him." "Was she dressed the same in going as in coming?" "To all appearance, except her hat. That was smaller." "She had the gossamer on still, then?" "Yes, sir." "And a veil?" "Yes, sir." "Only that the hat it covered was smaller?" "Yes, sir."
