Let's stow those jewel cases in a handbag. Can you lend me one?" She left the room and returned presently with a traveling case, into which Gard tossed the elaborate boxes without ceremony.

You know I am not often allowed to go alone but it was when Grandmother had the grippe and Aunt Susan the rheumatism and Aunt Harriet had a number of errands and so I went on the Twenty-third Street ferry, and did not go far from Twenty-third Street and I took my book in my handbag and carried it into Larkins and White's and I saw Mr.

I am going to ask you to vacate, because I want to have a little picnic under this tank for the freight crew that brought me along. I wish I had lunch enough to provide you, but I ain't. The station agent says he gets his provisions over there at the post office store, and if you are hungry you can get some canned stuff there." She opened her handbag and gave each of the tramps a half-dollar.

But when it comes to carrying a handbag in full sight of all this crowd, why, as I said to Peter Stuyvesant about about" here a misty look seemed to come over the old gentleman's face "about two hundred years ago, I'll be hanged if I will. It can't be done. It's not up to date." While he was saying this, Father Knickerbocker had beckoned to a group of porters.

It was this: that God to them was like their fathers, their mothers, their brothers, their friends; only infinitely more loving, and without their faults. With his head high and his feet light upon the earth, he returned to the R. A. M. C. Hospital, where he found Harry Hobbs, with his handbag and a letter from his O. C.

Captain Branscome who, to the knowledge of both of us, never had a shilling in his pocket stood there nervously proffering me a guinea! Mrs. Stimcoe, having begged Captain Branscome to take watch for a while over the invalid, and having helped me to pack a few clothes in a handbag, herself accompanied me to the coach-office, where we found the Royal Mail on the point of starting.

It was a reasonable proposal, as things stood; but she did not like the way in which she had been bullied. She looked at Blake queerly. "If we have to give ye a third, ye may as well know all about it. Ye'll be a partner like." Blake stared at her. He could not guess what she was driving at. Peggy slowly drew out of a handbag a faded piece of paper and handed it to him without a word.
