"Most abnormally modest people are. If I were to stick you with this hat-pin, for instance, you would accept the matter as a positive insult." "I certainly should," I said, laughing; "and, besides, it would be painful." "There you are," said she, exultingly; "I knew it. But I flatter myself there are men who would go into an ecstasy of delight if I ran a hat-pin into them.
The chief properties are a yellow ticket and a hat-pin. Both belong to the innocent and beautiful Jewish heroine, Anna Mirol. It appears that she wanted to leave the pale to go to see her dying father in Petersburg, and the police, who will have their grim joke against a Jewess, offer her "the most powerful passport in Russia" the yellow ticket of Rahab.

She needed a thin, sharp instrument like a hat-pin, to push between the slats of wood. A tiny hole would suffice. But she had no hat-pin in the close-fitting toque lent by Beverley. Her own was now a souvenir in O'Reilly's possession. She tried hair-pins, but they bent, one after another. Then she searched for a nail, and found one at last, stuck in the wall, supporting a small mirror.
"If you have been in the habit of looking into young women's hats, you will appreciate the force of my remark." "The deuce!" was his certainly uncalled for exclamation. "Women's eyes for women's matters! I am greatly indebted to you, ma'am. You have solved a very important problem for us. A hat-pin! humph!" he muttered to himself.
From out the swift tide a figure without an overcoat, and a cap vizor pulled well down over his eyes, locked her arm from the rear, so that she sprang about, releasing herself. "For God's sake, Blink, cut the pussy-foot tread, will you? I've jabbed with a hat-pin for less than that." "Merry Christmas, Marj." "Yes, I'm merry as a crutch. What brought you around, Blink?"
Now, I appeal to you if it wouldn't be disastrous to fall in love with a man of such ideas. And just to let you know what a literal old law-brief he is, when I said he had had a hat-pin sticking in him for several weeks, he nearly jumped overboard, and began to feel himself all over. Did you know that he actually believed you were doing your best to get married to the Celebrity?"
There would have been resistance had my rapier point touched bone. As it was, it encountered only the softness of flesh. Still it perforated so easily. I have the sensation of it now, in my hand, my brain, as I write. A woman's hat-pin could go through a plum pudding not more easily than did my blade go through the Italian.
"I hate school," began Judy, sticking in a hat-pin viciously, then she stopped and laughed, "No, I don't, either. I don't hate anything since father came back." "Not even cats?" asked Anne, demurely. "No. You know I love Belinda." "Nor picnics?" "Not Fairfax ones." "Nor books?" "I just love 'em thanks to you." "Nor nor boys ?" mischievously.
Then followed a delightful hour, from the shopkeeper's point of view, at least, when Cornelia examined the contents of tray after tray, and selected "little presents" to the value of a cool hundred pounds: an old pearl and enamel solitaire stud for her father; a hat-pin composed of a big turquoise, and a selection of dainty, jewelled brooches and bangles for special girl friends.
