"I will take your card to Mr. Wingfield," said the butler. Prather made a perfunctory movement as if for a card-case, but apparently changed his mind under the prompting suggestion that it was superfluous. "My name is John Prather," he announced. "Mr. Wingfield knows who I am and I am quite sure that he will see me."
"So you're the Turner who sold us our own lumber! Now I know you. I'm Stevens, of the Maine and Wisconsin Lumber Company." Sam Turner laughed aloud, in both surprise and glee. Mr. Stevens had now reached for his own card-case.
Half the neighborhood was out watching. I leaned back in the upholstered seat, fairly quivering with excitement. This was Alma's car; that was Alma's card-case; the little clock had her monogram on it. Even the flowers in the flower holder, yellow tulips, reminded me of Alma a trifle showy, but good to look at! And I was going to her house!
"I'll split the difference with you," offered the old man. "It's a bargain!" said Sam, and reaching into the inside pocket of his tennis coat, he brought out some queer furniture for that sort of garment a small fountain pen and an extremely small card-case, from the latter of which he drew four folded blank checks.

"We both want to know her secret," she said, as she put it into her card-case. "Our curiosity about that dear, delightful woman is a link between us." Craven looked into her animated eyes, which were strongly searching him for admiration. He took her hand and held it for a moment. "I don't think I want to know Lady Sellingworth's secret if she doesn't wish me to know it," he said.
Paul was young, and therefore, if not vain, at least accessible to the assaults of vanity, and he blushed to the ears with pleasure. He had not noticed until the moment when the lady set her thickly-jewelled hand upon it that a little silver bell was placed at her side. She touched it, and her maid entered, and at a murmured aside retired, returning in a moment with a filigree card-case.
Miss Martha Rose would sit composedly in a proffered chair, her gloved hands crossed over her nice, gold-bound card-case, her chin tilted at an angle which never varied, her mouth in a set smile which never wavered, her slender feet in their best shoes toeing out precisely under the smooth sweep of her gray silk skirt.
Nothing remained of the man I once knew but the comfortable plumpness of his figure, and the confidential courtesy and smoothness of his manner and his voice.
