Taking out an ebony box like a casket, she unlocked that in turn, and then lifted from it a morocco case, evidently a miniature. She returned to her chair and seated herself again, swaying her body gently to and fro as if confirming some difficult resolution, but with the same inscrutable expression upon her face.
Especially is this true of the Catholic faith, and if it were worth while, it might be shown how it is nothing less than a divine casket of precious remedies, and if it is to be brutally broken, it will take ages to rediscover and restore them. Of one thing I am certain, that their rediscovery and restoration will be necessary.
He turned his back with a shudder and went on deck. To his surprise the blue lights were extinguished, and corridor and saloon were all rosy with early sunlight. Blue sky, blue sea, silver spindrift flying and clouds of silvery gulls a glimmer of Heaven from the depths of the pit a glimpse of life through a crack in the casket and land close on the starboard bow!
"No, indeed a casket of gold and silver coins here they are." With that, Sir Arthur drew from his pocket a large ram's horn, with a copper cover, containing a considerable quantity of coins, chiefly silver, but with a few gold pieces intermixed. The Antiquary's eyes glistened as he eagerly spread them out on the table.

"Tussmann, you're very foolish; you've got hold of the most priceless treasure you could possibly have come across. Those lines of verse ought to have told you so at once. Do me the favour to put that book which you found in the casket into your pocket." Tussmann did so. "Now," said the Goldsmith, "think of some book or other which you would wish that you had in your pocket at this moment."

He opened the box. Inside was a casket. He tore open the casket. It was filled with jewels! His work was ended. No more search, no more fear. He bound the casket tightly to the end of the signal-line, added to it a bar of gold, and clambered to the deck. He cast off the weight that was at his waist, which he also fastened to the line, and let it go.
"I know, I know: she said she'd wait for me at the gate," she sobbed as she followed him; "but I miss her sore now." "It's the old lady as Mrs. Lewis lived with sir," said a young lad standing next to Brother Gordon, as one and another still pressed up towards the little casket for a last look at the beloved face.
