At first he thought it was empty, working as he did by touch, his eye on the door. Then he found a disappointing something the lid of a cigar-box! Under that was a photograph. Here was luck! Had the Red Un known it, he had found the only two secrets in his Chief's open life.
If I were the least bit more persuaded that that black cr-cr were about me still, and that the sacrifice of my eyebrows would deprive him of shelter, by the souls of the Ptolemies I would, and I will too! Icing the bell, my little dear! John, my my cigar-box! There is not a cr in the world that can abide the fumes of the havana!
There was an old cigar-box, tied about with twine, full to the brim with money over two thousand pounds in bank-notes and gold, as we found on counting it up later on, and there were others filled with cigars, and yet others in which the man had packed all manner of curiosities such as three of us at any rate had never seen in our lives before. But Mr.
Lovey Mary was sitting by a wardrobe making her last will and testament. From the neatly folded pile of linen she selected a few garments and tied them into a bundle. Then she took out a cigar-box and gravely contemplated the contents.
Alston Lake, who was long-limbed, very blond, clean-shaved, with gray eyes, extraordinarily smooth yellow hair, and short, determined and rather blunt features, stretched out one large hand to the cigar-box, and glanced at Charmian. "What is your bent toward?" he said, in his strong and ringing baritone voice. Claude's forehead puckered, and the sudden distressed look, which Mrs.
His companions drifted toward the cigar-box which stood open on the table, and looked at it wistfully. "Long live the monarchy," said Roland wearily. He had gathered in the course of his dealings with the exiled ones that this remark generally went well. On the present occasion it elicited no outburst of cheering.
He had eaten a good supper at about six o'clock, and after a talk with Watson and a young man whose acquaintance the clerk had made, had sent them off to see the town at his expense. This was not rash, because Stormont could trust his clerk. Now he waited their return, but it was not for Watson's benefit he had put a cigar-box and a bottle of strong liquor on the table.
The sense of advantage that the situation conferred was so great that when Mr. Spence rose it was as if Millner were dismissing him, and when he reached his hand toward the cigar-box it seemed to be one of Millner's cigars that he was taking. THERE had been only one condition attached to the transaction: Millner was to speak to Draper about the Bible Class. The condition was easy to fulfil.
From the front of the train there arose a great hubbub, a chorus of exclamations in Spanish. "I thought so," remarked St. Nivel; "you'd better look sharp, Bill, if you want to make that packet safe." As he spoke, he held out towards me an open cigar-box which he had taken out of the rack. Then I saw what he was aiming at; he wished me for some reason to hide my packet among the cigars in the box.
The room was quiet save for an occasional word from the big man at the desk. The clerk drew a check from the cigar-box. A man stepped up to the desk, gave his name, age, occupation, and address, received the numbered check, and went to his seat. The clerk drew another check. A fat, broad-shouldered man waddled up, smiling. "Why, hello, Bud!" said the heavy-jawed man, rising and shaking hands.
