Sir Lucien threw himself nonchalantly upon the divan, and took out his cigarette-case. "Will you have a cigarette, Gray?" he asked. "No thanks," replied the other, in tones of smothered hostility. He was ill at ease, and paced the apartment nervously. Pyne lighted a cigarette, and tossed the extinguished match into a brass bowl. "I think," said Gray jerkily, "I shall go for a cab.
Galer was there to keep him company. If, during the course of the day, he had occasion to fetch a handkerchief or a cigarette-case from his bedroom, he was sure, on emerging, to stumble upon Mr. Galer in the corridor.

To Duvall he gave a seal ring, with the arms of France engraved upon a setting of jade.
Vincent set down his cup for the second time, refused buttered bun, and waited. "Yes, do smoke, Mr. Vincent." The man drew out his cigarette-case, smiling, offering it to the two men. Laurie took one; the clergyman refused. "And now, Mr. Vincent." Again he smiled, in a half-embarrassed way. "But no speeches, I think you said," he remarked.

"What!" said Bampton, pausing in the act of taking a cigarette, "then what the devil are you?" "My name is Paul Harley, and I am a criminal investigator."
I've got a little money enough to keep me from starvation; but not enough to buy me cigarettes at least not the kind I like." Juliet's smile was one of friendly confidence. "I think it's about my only real vice, and I've never been used to inferior ones. Do you mind telling me where you get yours?" He smiled back at her as he felt for his cigarette-case.
