He thought he had been moved on this truck many miles, but in truth the stove had been only taken from the railway-station to a shop in the Marienplatz. Fortunately, the stove was always set upright on its four gilded feet, an injunction to that effect having been affixed to its written label, and on its gilded feet it stood now in the small dark curiosity-shop of one Hans Rhilfer.
"Then come to us the queerest thing in that whole curiosity-shop of a ranch. Its name was Alexander Fulton. I reckon Aleck was about twenty-one by the almanac, and anywhere's from three to ninety by the way you figure a man. Aleck stood six foot high as he stood, but if you ran the tape along his curves he was about six-foot-four.
The sounds of his footsteps drew from behind the counter no less a personage than our redoubtable friend Kinch, who, in the absence of his father, was presiding over the establishment. "Well, Snowball," said Mr. Stevens, "do you keep this curiosity-shop?" "My name is not Snowball, and this ain't a curiosity-shop," replied Kinch. "Do you want to buy anything?" "I believe I do," answered Mr.
And Birmingham and Manchester arose in their might, and Art was relegated to the curiosity-shop. Nature contains the elements, in color and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music.
He was glad she had not said to Victoria what she had said to him, about Saidee having to live the life of other harem women. "I bought a string of amber beads at that curiosity-shop yesterday," the girl went on, "because there's a light in them like what used to be in Saidee's eyes.
I knew the poor old man well enough; he was the last of a noble race, and I loved his child." "And did she die by ?" "Man! did I say so? Do I whisper the secrets of the Vehmgericht? I say she died that night: and he he, the heartless, the villain, the betrayer, you saw him seated in yonder curiosity-shop, by yonder guillotine, with his scoundrelly head in his lap.
He was lonely, and nervous with the servants; the curios gave him small pleasure since he had not bought them, and, if he had, they would not have been cheap. For reasons before indicated, Blentmouth and the curiosity-shop there had become too dangerous. Besides, he had no money; Cecily had forgotten that detail in her hurried flight.
In the midst of dire din, heathenish and horrible, dissonant jangle of zogees' bells, brain-rending blasts from Brahmins' shells, strepent howling of opium-drunk devotees, delirious pounding of tom-toms, brazen clangor of gongs, a child of seven years, that might, unpossessed, have been beautiful, sat under the shed of a sort of curiosity-shop, among bangles and armlets, mouthpieces for pipes, leaden idols, and Brahminical cords, and made infernal faces, his mouth foaming epileptically, his hair dishevelled and matted with sudden sweat, his eyes blood-shot, his whole aspect diabolic.
He was retrieved after a search, in the doorway of the curiosity-shop, whither he had wisely returned to await his friends, and we then went on past the meer with its deserted bandstand, to one of the few lovable churches left in my country. It is whitewashed and bare, but somehow, instead of making it grim, the whiteness has given it a religious look.
"Sell them? let me see yes, I think I know where there is a sort of curiosity-shop, in Church Street; but it's a long way to walk Jack, and that let me see," continued she, counting the different articles, "one, two, three seven times, Jack."
