The old man took out his card-case, and on the back of his card scribbled a most cordial invitation to Hardwick, asking him to call on him. He handed this to Jennie, and said, "Tell Mr. Hardwick that I shall be pleased to see him at any time." "And now," said Lord Donal, "you must let us both escort you home in the carriage." "No, no.
He took his card-case from his pocket. "You will find my address upon this card. Perhaps some day you will give me a few days of your company. I can offer you on my side a day or two's hunting." A spasm of pain shook for a fleeting moment the boy's steady inscrutable face. It passed, however, swiftly as it had come. "Thank you, sir," Harry monotonously repeated. "You are very kind."
She stood for a few minutes gazing in at the tempting window, and entering presently, began to inspect various trays of rings and brooches, although she had no intention to purchase anything of the kind. During the process Mr. Donaldson, who had known her from childhood, came to the assistance of the salesman and talked about the weather. At last a silver card-case was selected.
She put her card-case on her lap, and clasped her hands together in preparation, and the girls watched her with approving eyes, for Mrs Maitland was a most satisfactory story-teller.
His search, however, proved ineffectual, or at least no card-case was produced; and presently, with an air of great vexation, he exclaimed: "Alas! sir, I regret to say that I appear to have lost or mislaid my card-case, for I certainly have not it with me. My name, however, is Mackintosh," with just the slightest perceptible hesitation.
It's nothing very important." "Oh," said Blanche, with a little blush at her own deception, "haven't I seen you in the house before? Are you staying here?" She remembered distinctly the incident of the card-case, and how very nice she had thought him, both on that occasion and every time she had seen him.
She jumps from the boulder, with more bounce than dignity, dropping the red umbrella and the jewelled card-case, and, extending in one pudgy ringed hand a highly-glazed and coroneted card, "Permit me to introduce myself," she says through set teeth, smiling rancorously.
Ormiston, holding reins and whip in one hand, felt for his card-case. "So we've had our journey for nothing you see, Dick," he said. And to Richard the words sounded regretful. Moreover, the drama of this expedition seemed to him shorn of its climax. He knew there should be something more, and pushed for it. "You haven't asked for Mary," he said. "And I thought we came on purpose to see Mary.
"I am aware that she does not usually see visitors so early," replied Carrington; "but as I come on particular business, and as I come a long way to see her, she will perhaps make an exception in my favour." He produced his card-case as he spoke, and handed the man a card, on which he had written the following words in pencil: "Pray see me, dear madame.
Captain King sent you that beautiful card-case on Valentine's morning; that is what you should remember. 'Captain King could send me a white elephant if he chose, said Madge, spitefully. 'There's no danger to him in anything he does. It's different with poor Jack. 'Madge, said her sister, seriously, 'do you know that you are talking as if you looked forward to this marriage with regret?
