It was at this bridge that the messenger of the relenting queen overtook the great Pilot, and brought him back to arrange the expedition which resulted in the discovery of America. We had previously seen in the Alhambra the Hall of the Ambassadors, where the queen gave audience to Columbus, and now the jewel-box served more strongly to emphasize the historical association.
She felt nothing. The blow to her pride of station and womanhood struck on numbed sensations. She could complain that the blow was not heavier. A letter lying in her jewel-box called her to read it, for the chance of some slight stir. The contents were known.
It being an oblong square, the smooth and polished aspect in this union of two rich colors in it, this delicacy and minuteness of finish, this lavish ornament made me think of a lady's jewel-box; and if it could be reduced to the size of about a foot square, or less, it would make the very prettiest one that ever was seen.
Come, you shall take charge of the money, I of the jewel-box; so that if one of us had the misfortune to lose her treasure, the other would still have hers left. Now, the portmanteau let us make haste the portmanteau!" "Stop!" said Louise, going to listen at Madame Danglars' door. "What do you fear?" "That we may be discovered." "The door is locked." "They may tell us to open it."
I saw her counting the great things in her mind, her wondrous husband and his obscure success, David, Barbara, and the other trifling contents of her jewel-box. "I think I have," said she. "Come, madam," I cried a little nettled, "you know that there is lacking the one thing you craved for most of all." Will you believe me that I had to tell her what it was?
Innocence is indeed priceless that innocence which God counteth innocence, but thine was a flimsy show, a bit of polished and cherished glass instead of which, if thou repentest, thou shalt in thy jewel-box find a diamond.
Perhaps the gentlemen from Bow Street were all in the wrong when they agreed in suspecting John as the author of the robbery. His noble nature was hurt at the suspicion. You conceive he would not like to remain in a family where they were mean enough to suspect him of stealing a jewel-box out of a bedroom and the injured man and my relatives soon parted.
It was now necessary to determine what course we ought next to pursue. It might appear presuming in men of our pursuits to go to the Nest before the appointed time; and did we proceed on to the village, we should have the distance between the two places to walk over twice, carrying our instruments and jewel-box.
She colored, and nodded in comprehension, and at once tripped across the hall, carrying with her the card and jewel-box. "Mind, I shall be close at hand," I whispered after her; which she acknowledged, before the door hid her from me, with one of her bright, friendly smiles. I then went and threw the front door wide open. Burke jumped as if I had unexpectedly fired a shot at him.
So be it; we will not dispute the point in our own favor, but we will confess that whether it reflect or not upon the tone and dignity of our leading tastes, there is an undeniable gratification for every woman in the contemplation of another's wardrobe or jewel-box.
