"Oh, yes, you've something important to tell me. What is it?" said the Duke, with an air of resignation; and he took the photograph from Sonia and put it carefully back in his pocket. "Victoire has telephoned from Paris to say that we've had a paper-knife and a Louis Seize inkstand given us," said Germaine. "Hurrah!" cried the Duke in a sudden shout that made them both jump.
One often hears of writers that rise and swell with their subject, though it may seem but an ordinary one. How, then, with me, writing of this Leviathan? Unconsciously my chirography expands into placard capitals. Give me a condor's quill! Give me Vesuvius' crater for an inkstand! Friends, hold my arms!
That the result was not entirely unsatisfactory was evident from the smile with which he eyed his finger after having drawn it across a certain spot near the inkstand, and also from the care with which he lifted that inkstand and replaced it in precisely the same spot from which he had taken it up. Had he expected to find something concealed under it? Who can tell?
Heigh, then, for the inkstand! What does woman like best? What does she desire? All the special things of love; and woman is right. To have children, to produce an imitation, of nature, which is always in labour. Come to me, then, woman! come to me, Eva!
In the glass closet there were three wooden chairs, a table, and an inkstand; on the shelf by the door a few books the London Directory, an English Dictionary, a French Dictionary the titles of the remaining books did not catch the eye. As they waited, for no "pages" would be ready for them for some time, Mike glanced at stray numbers of two trade journals.
And then came the long prayer and the solemn procession to the vestry, while a dozen or two stayed with the senior curate for the Communion. Graham found himself in the little inner vestry, with its green-cloth table and massive inkstand and registers, and began to unvest mechanically.
He arrived at S. in the morning and occupied the best room in the hotel, where the whole floor was covered with a grey canvas, and on the table there stood an inkstand grey with dust, adorned with a horseman on a headless horse holding a net in his raised hand.
It had simply been asked whether he still continued of the same mind; on replying yes, something was put down upon a piece of paper, and he was waved outside. All being summoned in rotation, my own turn came at last. Within, Wilson and his two friends were seated magisterially at a table an inkstand, a pen, and a sheet of paper lending quite a business-like air to the apartment.
Without even taking the precaution of sitting himself down upon his stool, but standing leisurely at the desk, and with a smile upon his face actually a smile there was no mistake about it; Mr Linkinwater often mentioned it afterwards Nicholas dipped his pen into the inkstand before him, and plunged into the books of Cheeryble Brothers!
Eccles had a front parlor a front parlor with the bottled-up smell in it peculiar to front parlors; a parlor with a real mahogany table, on which photograph albums and a few select volumes were symmetrically arranged round an inkstand, nestling in a very choice wool-work mat; a parlor with wax-flowers under glass shades on the mantle-piece, and an avalanche of paper roses and mixed paper herbs in the fireplace.
