Geltov, a Russian petty official, loves the beautiful Princess Sheïne with a desperate love. After long hesitation he decides to send her a garnet necklace, with a tender and respectful note enclosed. Alas! his gift is returned to him and the husband of the princess angrily threatens the naïve lover. The latter has not the strength to face the situation, and commits suicide.
The father knelt, caught the limp hands and gazed with streaming eyes. "Oh, son, my son! air you gone fum me, son? Air you gone? Air you gone?" A kind doctor took the passive wrist. "No, Judge, he's not gone yet." Ravenel and the physician assumed control. "Just consider him in my care, doctor, will you? Shall we take him to the hotel?" Garnet supported Judge March's steps.
Here it was decided to evacuate Kwisa, for a time, and bring up the garrison that had been left there. The next march was laborious, and wet, as usual. The troops marched into the little village of Amoaful, where Sir Garnet Wolseley had fought the decisive battle of his campaign, and saw many relics of the fight. Signal guns were heard, at various times, acquainting the enemy of our advance.
No, sir, as sure as we try this thing, we'll create dissension in a church where everything now is as sweet and peaceful as the grave." "Of course we mustn't have dissensions," said Parson Tombs. Mr. Usher, who spoke last and very slowly, said but a word or two. He agreed with Brother Garnet.
And mother hasn't any diamonds, and hardly any jewels the topaz necklace, and the sapphire ring daddy gave her when they were engaged, and the garnet star, and the little pearl brooch with great-grandpapa's hair in it, that's about all."

I've spoke to John about that, but the fact is " Garnet smiled. "His life's in constant danger that's my very point. The bad weather's protected him thus far, but if it should last five years without a break, still you know that as soon as it fairs off " "Uv co'se! Enos's kinsfolks 'll be layin' faw him behind some bush aw sett'n' fire to his house; an' so what shall he do, brother, if we say he "

"I said I should like the chance to do so." "You have it." "That's very kind of you. Thank you." "Is there any reason for gratitude?" "Every reason." "Go on, Mr. Garnet. I can listen while I paint. But please sit down. I don't like being talked to from a height." I sat down on the grass in front of her, feeling as I did so that the change of position in a manner clipped my wings.
Elspeth, still astounded, took the gift. It was a little garnet ring. "It will have to be cut," Grizel said. "It was meant, I think, for a larger finger. I have had it some time, but I never wore it." Elspeth said she would always treasure her ring, and that it was beautiful. "I used to think it rather sweet," Grizel admitted, and then she said good-bye to them both and went away.
