This was what Zelaya had been waiting for. Silently the old woman arose and turned up the lampwick a little. She knelt down before one of the padlocked boxes and unlocked it softly. Then she rummaged in the box seemingly beneath a lot of rubbish that filled it, and drew forth a japanned box like a cashbox. This was locked, too, and Zelaya wore the key of it on a string about her neck.
The contents of these, as in the boxes above mentioned, were as follows: three ornamental boxes and two writing-desks of lacquered wood, perfume-caskets, trays, combs, fans, porcelain cups, and curious articles of japanned ware.
"I should have remembered my experience with your great-aunt, but I knew how much you wanted that paint-box," and he slipped into Marianne's stocking a japanned box with a whole sheaf of paint brushes. "Oh, thank you, Santa Klaus! You can't think how I've wished for it; my own is such a horrid little thing.
On the bed the dress clothes were neatly laid out; the patent-leather boots stood at attention on the hearth-rug; hot water steamed from a japanned jug on the wash-hand stand; two wax candles lit up the dressing-table; two more stood on another near the fire, which had also writing materials on it.
Through half-opened hall doors you might see the powdered servant, or the sprightly maid in her mob-cap in hot haste steaming away with the red japanned 'tea kitchen' into the parlour. The town of Chapelizod, in short, was just sitting down to its breakfast.
The walls, from roof to floor, were hung with shimmering green silk of the shade of a parrot's wing. There were no show-cases or other evidences of commercialism, but about the room were set couches of black japanned wood, upon which rested flat mattresses covered in the same green as the walls. On these silk cushions in black and vermilion were piled.
He saw the leader on the middle ladder go down under a clubbed blow which burst through his japanned shako-cover, and then a hand came down to help him. "Spuds, O Spuds!" It was Teddy reaching down from the coping to help him, and he paid for it with his life. The two wriggled into the embrasure together, Nat's head and shoulders under Teddy's right arm.
"That is impossible," retorted she, vehemently, "for I left this candlestick with my own hands last night, in the hall, the last thing I did, after you," said she, turning to the butler, "was gone to bed I'm sure of it Nay, don't you recollect my taking this JAPANNED CANDLESTICK out of your hand, and making you to go up to bed with the brass one, and I bolted the door at the stair-head after you?"
My dear Lydia, a fellow roaming the country in a red coat, drill trousers, and a japanned hat!" "It would obviously excite remark: so obviously that the likelihood might even occur to the man himself." Mr. Rogers looked crestfallen for a moment. "You suggest that by this time he has changed his rig?" "I suggest, rather, that he started by changing it, say, as far back as St. Mawes.
A half head stuck up immovable with a window at each ear, an apron of wood, varnished to look like japanned leather hinged at bottom, and having at top where it shuts a sort of fairy-board window which lets down in desperately bad weather. Our first day was all prosperous and sunshine, and what Captain Beaufort would call plain sailing. To Ballymahon the first stage.
