But he is very pasty and tough and misshapen now, and hardly ever interests himself about anything. As to his present size well, he sleeps in a cigar-box." "Likely enough.

He is a shade under four and a half feet high; used to be a blond; is a brunette now, but still shapely and comely."
Nobody had ever smoked in that house, where tobacco had always been regarded as equally licentious with cards, 'the devil's playthings. Certainly Samuel had never smoked in the house, though the sight of the cigar-box reminded Constance of an occasion when her mother had announced an incredulous suspicion that Mr.
The most beautiful plant was a Medinella, of so delicate a texture that it was impossible to preserve it. Our torches were quickly extinguished, and a fowl covered with a cigar-box died in a few minutes, to the supreme astonishment of the Igorots, to whom these phenomena were entirely new.

He found the canaries singing in the pretty little room in which George had slept, but the apartment was in the same prim order in which the laundress had arranged it after the departure of the two young men not a chair displaced, or so much as the lid of a cigar-box lifted, to bespeak the presence of George Talboys.
