But he put into it no written document. He carefully looked through his linen, and anything that had been marked with more than his initials he rejected. Then he took out a bundle of printed cards, and furnished a card-case with them. On these cards was inscribed the name of Gregory Vance. When all was finished, he stood for awhile with his back to the fireplace contemplating his work.
Kirkwood quietly produced his cigar-case, a gold match-box, gold card-case, and slipped a signet ring from his finger. "Will you buy these?" he asked. "Or will you lend me five pounds and hold them as security?" Stryker examined the collection with exaggerated interest strongly tinctured with mistrust. "I'll buy 'em," he offered eventually, looking up. "That's kind of you "
When Virginia had selected for herself, or rather I had forced upon her all she most admired, I gave a cut ivory card-case, a filigree needle-case, and a small red scarf to my mother, who, for the first time in her life, appeared pleased with me, and said that they were very genteel, and she was much obliged to me.
"We have been able to search the Chancellor's rooms, sire," the agent said, "for the articles mentioned last night a card-case, gloves, and a silk handkerchief, belonging to the prisoner upstairs. He is Captain Larisch, aide-de-camp to the Crown Prince of Livonia." He had, expected Karl to be, impressed. But Karl only looked at him. "I know that," he said coldly.
Blount made a quick dive for his card-case, found it, and hastened to introduce himself by name. She took the bit of pasteboard, and, since she scarcely glanced at the engraved line on it, he found himself wholly unable to interpret her smile. "The card is hardly necessary," she said; and then, to his complete bewilderment: "You are very much like your father, Mr. Blount."
A couple of billiard balls, all mud and dirt, two battered hats, a champagne bottle with a soiled glove twisted round the neck, to allow of its being grasped more surely in its capacity of an offensive weapon; a broken cane; a card-case without the top; an empty purse; a watch-guard snapped asunder; a handful of silver, mingled with fragments of half-smoked cigars, and their stale and crumbled ashes; these, and many other tokens of riot and disorder, hinted very intelligibly at the nature of last night's gentlemanly frolics.
'You may, if you like, said Falconer. 'When I think of it, you shall do so. You know where I live? he said, turning to the policeman. 'No, sir, I don't. I only know you well enough. 'Put your hand in my coat-pocket, then, and you'll find a card-case. The other. There! Help yourself. He said this with his arms round Andrew's, who had ceased to cry out when he saw the police.
And now the proofs the proofs! I had them all ready to my hand, and gathered them quickly together; first the things that had been buried with me the gold chain on which hung the locket containing the portraits of my wife and child, the purse and card-case which Nina herself had given me, the crucifix the monk had laid on my breast in the coffin.
On one finger he wore a diamond that made all beholders wink, and in his shirt bosom still another. His wallet was stuffed with greenbacks, his watch and chain, Mr. Darrell affirmed were worth a thousand dollars a sprig of gentility, whoever he might be, this wounded hero. They found no papers, no letters, no card-case. His linen was marked "C. S." twisted in a monogram.
The bag which he had left on the pier had been opened at the request of the police and a card-case found with his address on it.
