"If only the pocketbook was not lost," she said. "There were so many things in it. Especially car-tickets. Walking is a nuisance." Mrs. Dane's secretary suddenly spoke. "Do you want me to take things like that?" she asked. "Take everything, please," was the answer. "Car-tickets and letters. It will be terrible if the letters are found." "Where was the pocketbook lost?" Sperry asked.
"I'm going to read a few things. Keep what is left of your mind on them. This is the first sitting. "'The knee hurts. It is very bad. Arnica will take the pain out. "I want to go out. I want air. If I could only go to sleep and forget it. The drawing-room furniture is scattered all over the house." All of it, not a trace. 'If only the pocketbook were not lost. Car-tickets and letters.
As a matter of fact, if there was no such bag, the chances were that we were all wrong, anyhow. If there was such a bag, I wanted it. Here is the advertisement as I inserted it." She gave me a small newspaper cutting "Lost, a handbag containing private letters, car-tickets, etc. Liberal reward paid for its return. Please write to A 31, the Daily News."

Reward and no questions asked if returned to Daily News office."
You know they were very anxious that I should lend you for a while." "I will think about it," said Betty, trying to smile, but she could not talk any more just then. She didn't believe that the hardships of this new journey were too great; it was papa who minded dust and hated the care of railway rugs and car-tickets, not she.
The outfit for his voyage consisted of two car-tickets, five cents in silver, a fishing-line, the brass capping of a spool of cotton, which, in his eyes, bore some resemblance to metallic currency, and a Sunday-school library ticket.
Tarrant didn't know what it showed. It was a satisfaction to her that Verena evidently responded freely; she didn't think anything of what she spent in car-tickets, and indeed she had told her that Miss Chancellor wanted to stuff her pockets with them. At first she went in because her mother liked to have her; but now, evidently, she went because she was so much drawn.
