Edna's face grew scarlet, and stooping to pick up a heavy cornelian seal that had fallen on the carpet, she said, hastily: "What is that marble temple intended to hold?" "I have no idea; it is one of my son's oriental fancies. I presume he uses it as a private desk for his papers." "Does he leave the key with you when he goes from home?"
"You don't know who may overhear you in a place like this. You'll get yourself into trouble." "Wasn't there some rather daring new dance of the 'bunny-hug' variety?" asked the indiscreet one. "The 'Cubby-Cuddle," said Cornelian; "three or four adventurous couples danced it towards the end of the evening." "The Dawn says that without being strikingly new it was strikingly modern."
On opening it, he found, not only certain bank-notes which he had missed, but some marked coins and a cornelian seal which had disappeared on previous occasions, proving that a system of robbery had been carried on by one and the same person evidently a member of the Luttrell household.
To-day you have had enough of your brother in arms. Your will shall be law. "But, though I bow to your decree, may I remind I you what it was that I always believed our final adventure would be?

While I am speaking of this, I cannot help taking notice of a particular Dram which I tasted at a curious Gentleman's House at Putney in Surrey, W. Curtis Esq; which he made by infusing of the Cornelian Cherry in Brandy; that Gentleman is the only one who I think has yet tried it, and to my Palate it seems to be so like Tockay Wine, that it must be a very good judge who can discover the difference.
He was fond of fossils, but his special hobby was rocks and minerals. He knew a vast deal about cairngorms and agates and such-like pretty things, and showed Charles quartz and felspar and red cornelian, and I don't know what else, in the crags on the hillside.
She did not want to die, to flicker out in nothingness, never to smile and never to laugh again. Why should she not be happy rightly happy? Was she not a Cornelian, a Claudian, born to a position that a princess might enjoy? Was not wealth hers, and a fair degree of wit and a handsome face?
