I had seen just such a card, minus the pencilled address, in Miss Jenrys' card-tray on Washington Avenue; and that pencilled address! It was that of the café to which Miss Jenrys was to send her note concerning the evening excursion. I had not spoken of the adventure of the bag during the afternoon, and I had not meant to do so.
He brought him a blue envelope on a card-tray. "A telegram for monsieur le duc." Rosas tore it open in a mechanical way. It was from one of his London friends, Lord Lindsay, who having learned of Rosas's return, sent him a pressing invitation. If he did not hasten to Paris to welcome him, it was simply because grave political affairs demanded his presence in London.
Kirkwood, turning on one heel, beheld hesitant upon the threshold a diminutive figure in the livery of the Pless pages. "Mr. Kirkwood?" Kirkwood nodded. "Gentleman to see you, sir." Kirkwood nodded again, smiling if somewhat perplexed. Encouraged, the child advanced, proffering a silver card-tray at the end of an unnaturally rigid forearm.
From some receptacle unknown to Dad she had fished out a few relics of her former grandeur an old-fashioned card-tray of solid silver, and the quaint silver tea-set with the tiny silver spoons that her grandmother had sent as a wedding present from England. Clara had just finished a variation with three tremendous fortissimo chords when she heard the wheels of a cab.
Maude had no means of knowing who Mrs. Baker might be. The visitor seldom descended to an explanation. Ten minutes of desultory and forced conversation about pinewoods and golf and cremation. A cup of tea and a departure. Then Maude would rush to the card-tray to try to find out whom it was that she had been talking to, and what it was all about.
All was goin' along smooth and merry, too, until one Wednesday night I discovers another lid ahead of mine on the hall table. It's a glossy silk tile, with a pair of gray castor gloves folded neat alongside. Seein' which I reaches past Helma for the silver card-tray. "Huh!" says I under my breath. "Now, who the giddy gallowampuses is Clyde Creighton?"
George appeared in the library about half-past three, bearing under one arm an enormous flower box and in the other hand a card-tray with one small white slip of cardboard upon it. "Mr. Bennet to see Miss Arethusa," he announced. Arethusa sprang up, almost overturning Ross. "Who did you say, George?" "Mr. Bennet." He extended the card-tray, and then the flower box. "I won't see Mr.
"She can rest," he declared, " the blessed baby! Not a governess or a teacher is to show as much as a hat-feather." She nodded. "We don't want 'em quacking around." Someone tapped at the door then, and entered Rosa, bearing a card-tray upon which were two square bits of pasteboard. "To see Madam," she said, presenting the tray.
Dodd returned home consoled and confused; Julia listless and apathetic. Tea was ordered, with two or three kinds of bread, thinnest slices of meat, and a little blane mange, &c., their favourite repast after a journey; and whilst the tea was drawing, Mrs. Dodd looked over the card-tray and enumerated the visitors that had called during their absence. "Dr. Short Mr. Osmond Mrs. Hetherington Mr.
Was the abominable murderer about to appear before them? "Silence!" said the Prefect, stopping his walk. Some one had crossed the anteroom. There was a knock at the door. "Come in!" The office messenger entered, carrying a card-tray. On the tray was a letter; and in addition there was one of those printed slips on which callers write their name and the object of their visit.
