Everybody who has seen or used a black-lead pencil must know what the wood of the red cedar is like for it is in this the black-lead is usually incased.

The soul, having studied the article of which it finds itself proprietor, thinks, after a time, it knows it pretty well. But there is this difference between its view and that of a person looking at us: we look from within, and see nothing but the mould formed by the elements in which we are incased; other observers look from without, and see us as living statues.
And you will never have another like it, but will grow up to be a good-for-nothing little thing when Polly and all the rest are earning money for your Mamsie, as you call her." "I shall earn money too," declared Phronsie on a high note, and nodding her yellow head with great decision. "Never!" Mrs. Chatterton brought her foot, incased in its black satin slipper, down with force on the carpet.
It was like a scene from the migrations of the ancient peoples when man wandered with a woman, a tent, and a herd. The barrier of the wagons, with its girdle of fire sparks, incased a grassy oval green as a lawn.

Trousers and waistcoats were of the same material as the coats, but their feet were inclosed in Indian moccasins, also adorned profusely with beads. They wore long hair in a queue, incased in an eel-skin, and with their swarthy complexions and high cheek bones they looked like wild sons of the forest to Robert. Tayoga, the Onondaga, was to him a more civilized being.
The horny head and neck of the huge black beetle, commonly known to negroes as the black Betsy Bug; the rattle and button of a rattlesnake; the fang-tooth of a cotton-mouth moccasin, the left hind foot of a frog, seeds of the stinging nettle, and pods of peculiar plants, all incased in a little sack made of a mole's hide.
Mademoiselle had been ordered never to let the child "spread her hand by opening door knobs or touching the fire-stones or er any clumsy thing " and it was droll to see the little girl, digging in her bit of garden with those lovely hands incased in long flopping cotton gloves not to forget the broad sunbonnet that shaded her earnest little face.
One of the tracks betrayed a small, coquettish, slender foot, clad in an elegant high-heeled boot with a narrow sole and an arched instep. The other denoted a broad, short foot growing wider toward the end. It had evidently been incased in a strong, low shoe. This was indeed a clue. Lecoq's hopes at once revived; so eagerly does a man welcome any supposition that is in accordance with his desires.
