Her raptured vision wandered from tray to tray, but it was a comparatively trifling article that finally claimed her attention a tiny finger-ring set with small rubies and brilliants. "Oh, do look at this!" she said to her companion. "Did you ever see such a love of a ring? what a perfect engagement-ring it would make!"
Theodor felt in his breeches-pocket, fumbled a long time, made at last a terrible grimace, and stared on the ground. "It is lost!" groaned he, turning his pocket out, and showing the treacherous hole through which the valuable engagement-ring with the four-carat diamond had escaped. Noémi broke into a hearty laugh.
Aw, it is not; it's a regular engagement-ring. I'm going to be out of this hell-hole in two weeks, and Papa Pemberton can work off his temper on somebody else. Me, I'm going to do a slumber marathon till noon every day." "Gee!" "Engaged!" said the other girls, and "Engaged! Going to sleep till noon every day. And not see Mr. Ross or Mr. Pemberton! That's my idea of heaven!" thought Una.
Think of the vows of eternal love and fidelity we have made to each other; remember that you have promised to be mine for all eternity, and to devote your whole life to me; remember that you wear my engagement-ring on your finger, and are my bride." "And yet you are affianced to another, and wear another engagement ring!"
My little Noémi's engagement-ring has never left me. Look now, Mamma Therese your future son-in-law has brought this for his bride; there, what do you say to that? And you, Mr. Underwriter, if you understand these things, what do you value this diamond at?" Timar looked at the stone and said, "Paste. In the trade it is worth about five groschen." "Hold your tongue, Supercargo!
Ward, we should have now been vulgarly sitting on a sofa, trying on the engagement-ring." Mrs. Quentin at first was kept silent by the mother's instinctive anger that the girl she has not wanted for her son should have dared to refuse him. Then she said, "Tell me, dear." "My good woman, she has scruples." "Scruples?" "Against the paper.
All their friends seem to be divorced; some of them seem to announce their engagements before they get their decree. One of them her name was Mabel as far as I could make out, her husband found out that she meant to divorce him by noticing that she wore a new engagement-ring." "Well, you see Leila did everything 'regularly, as the French say," Ide rejoined. "Yes; but are these people in society?
The bridal veil was of white silk tulle, five yards in length, fastened on the head with orange-blossoms, and falling to the end of the beautiful train, which, as the bride stood with bowed head beside the President, lay far behind her on the floor. Her only jewelry as a superb diamond necklace, the President's wedding present, and an engagement-ring containing a sapphire and two diamonds.
"There's something that might explain the situation better than a lot of talk." Claude, alias "Dora" Eweword, struck a match, and upon discovering the fragments of his engagement-ring in the piece of paper she had handed him, was silent for a minute or two, and then said "Dawn, so you want it to be all off.
"We went out arter tea and bought the engagement-ring, and then she got somebody to mind the shop and we went to the Pagoda music-'all." "I 'ope you didn't pay much for the ring, Sam," ses Ginger, who always got very kind-'arted arter two or three glasses o' whisky. "If I'd known you was going to be in such a hurry I might ha' told you before." "We ought to ha' done," ses Peter, shaking his 'ead.
