"This is why fellows marry," he said, when he returned home, and sat smoking in the shadows he had lighted only one lamp depressed by the loneliness of the apartment. And more than an hour passed before he heard Frank's steps. Frank was in evening dress; he opened his cigarette-case, lighted a cigarette, and sat down willing to be amused.
I packed some scones and marmalade into my creel, filled my flask with whiskey, my cigarette-case with cigarettes, and started on the familiar track with the happiest anticipations. The Lone Fisher was quite out of my mind; the day was exhilarating one of those true fishing- days when you feel the presence of the sun without seeing him.
It was, at all events, he who, when all had been marshalled into the refreshment-room, drew forward a chair and sat down at the table where Cartoner had placed himself. He ordered a cup of coffee in Russian, and sought his cigarette-case. He opened it and laid it on the table in front of Cartoner.
By nature Kranitski was averse to disputes, and for various reasons unused to them, hence he had begun to speak with hesitation and dislike; but afterward he rested his shoulder against the arm of the sofa, and with head somewhat raised, twirling the cigarette-case in his hand, he had the look of a great lord, especially if compared with the baron, who always seemed somewhat like a mosquito preparing to bite.
He put his watch into his waistcoat pocket, and his purse with all that was left of the hundred and eighty roubles he had taken for his journey, and for the incidental expenses of his fortnight's stay with his cousin and then he placed into his trouser pocket his cigarette-case and electric cigarette-lighter, and two clean handkerchiefs into his coat pockets, and went out of the room, leaving as usual the mess and confusion which he had made to be cleared up by Stephen, an old man of over fifty.
It was one of his principles when dealing with an uncertain situation never to betray surprise. "And what may this valuable piece of information be?" he inquired, with a smile. Rufus shipped his oars steadily, gravely, with purpose. "I saw you cross the quicksand last night," he said. "Indeed!" Knight's voice was of the most casual quality. He was feeling for his cigarette-case.
It grieved her to miss the cup of tea which a friendly nun had led her to expect; but even tea might be too dearly purchased, and Miss O'Dwyer had a strong dislike to listening to what Augusta Goold described as the 'sugared hypocrisies of professional liars. Besides, she had her cigarette-case in her pocket, and a smoke, unattainable for her in the convent or the train, was much to be desired.
I can put you up here to-night if you like. I'll expect you when I see you ... with that letter. Savvy?" The boy stood up. "You'll have that letter to-night," he answered. "But in the meantime," he waved the blue sheet with its mysterious slots at Robin, "what do you make of this?" Robin took the sheet of paper from him and replaced it in his cigarette-case.
I told the Prince that he was a sure winner; but out of so many entries no one was more surprised than I was when my horse came romping in. I was given a gold cigarette-case and went home much pleased. King Edward had great charm and personality and enormous prestige; he was more touchy than King George and fonder of pleasure.
"And my cigarette-case has " Skag felt in the dark, "has one two three " "Go on," the other said tensely. "Three," said Skag. "Let's smoke 'em now. They're calling me already." Skag passed him the case, saying; "I'm not ready. I do not care just now." The other puffed dismally. "I don't always quite get you, son," he said. "But it's all right when I do " Skag mused over this.
