I didn't think that you.... Oh, well, throw me a cigarette and let me hear the worst in comfort!" He opened his cigarette-case and leaned over toward her. She made her choice. He struck a match and she put her hand tightly on his wrist as she bent over the flame and slowly drew in her breath. Even after she had released her grasp his flesh still bore the imprint of the rings on her fingers.
He turned to her immediately and his fire died down. He offered her his cigarette-case in silence. Juliet took one, faintly smiling. "Do you know," she said to Saltash, "it was Dick's cigarettes that first attracted me to him? When I landed on this desert island, I had only three left. He came to the rescue most nobly, and has kept me supplied ever since.
The Duke grasped the young man's left wrist, plunged his hand into the motor-cap which he was carrying, drew out of it a silver cigarette-case, and held it before his eyes. Bernard turned pale to the lips. His frightened eyes seemed about to leap from their sockets. "It it was a m-m-m-mistake," he stammered.
Lillian, looking into his face, saw his fresh look of disturbance, and from long experience again changed her tactics. Laying the cigarette-case on the couch, she put one hand on his shoulder, the other on his left arm. Hundreds of times this caressing touch had quieted Chilcote. "Dear old boy!" she said, soothingly, her hand moving slowly down his arm.
The bell of the monastery struck two hasty beats then became silent, so that only the sad echo of its voice remained reverberating over the cemetery. Once more my interlocutor drew out his cigarette-case, silently offered it to myself, and lighted and puffed industriously at another cigarette.
Very deliberately she extracted her cigarette-case from her bag and selected a cigarette, only to discover that she had not supplied herself with a matchbox.
Haim presented his well-known worn cigarette-case, and then with precise and calm gestures carefully shut the door. "The fact is," said he, "I wanted to tell you something. I told Mr. Enwright this afternoon, as I thought was proper, and it seems to me that you are the next person who ought to be informed." "Oh yes?" "I am going to be married." "The deuce you are!"
"I'd have thought you might find arsenic a good thing," said Charley, holding out a silver cigarette-case, his eyes turning slowly from the startled, gloomy face of the man before him, to the cool darkness beyond the open doorway of that saloon on the other side of the street. John Brown shivered there was something so cold-blooded in the suggestion that he might have found arsenic a good thing.
"Oh, one gets a bit deadened after an hour or so. One needs to be freshened up. So long as I don't bore you " I laughed, and held out my cigarette-case. "I rather wonder you smoke," I murmured, after giving him a light. "Nicotine's a sort of drug. Doesn't it soothe you? Don't you lose just a little something of the tremors and things?" He looked at me gravely.
She had her own cigarette-case, and not infrequently used it in Isabelle's presence. But at this hour, when Richard or Ward or Nina, or even Madame Carter, might come in, she felt any familiarity unsuitable. Isabelle, the least affected of women, for all her spoiling and vanity, perfectly appreciated this, and liked Harriet for it.
