After these ecstasies I felt that Pauline was laughing. "What are you laughing at, sweetheart?" "At the craft of love, which always triumphs at last." "Where have you been?" "I went to my old jeweler's to redeem my ring, that you might have a souvenir of me; here it is." "Pauline! Pauline! a little love would have been much more precious to me than this beautiful ring." "You shall have both.
She had begun to walk more slowly than ever, as though the shops interested her very much. "Now do look!" she said, pausing anew before a jeweler's window, "what a funny bracelet!" She adored the Passage des Panoramas. The tinsel of the ARTICLE DE PARIS, the false jewelry, the gilded zinc, the cardboard made to look like leather, had been the passion of her early youth.
A long, tightly rolled parcel, which looked as though it ought to contain an umbrella, and was marked "To Helen from Tom," finally proved to contain a jeweler's box, in which nestled a pretty ring, which delighted his twin.
"So she would adventure death," he reflected. "Almost at as light a whisper from the powers of darkness, too." They were no sooner ashore than the girl tugged at his hand to stay him. The jeweler's glass front had intrigued her eye, for there, displayed against canary plush, was a string of pearls, like winter moons for size and luster.
Trembling with apprehension, her fingers shaking so that it was with great difficulty that she managed the bag's clasp, she opened the receptacle, and, with accelerating nervousness which made her feel and fumble, took from it a small box a jeweler's box.

He again remembered the necklace. Eighteen thousand francs! Eighteen thousand francs! What a sum! He soon arrived in the Rue de la Paix, opposite the jeweler's. Eighteen thousand francs!
We in our time as we gaze with unaided eye up at the mighty disk of the so called Milky Way, no longer regard the scintillating points glittering like diamonds in a jeweler's show-case, with feelings of awe, but the wonder is still upon us, wonder at the immensity of the works of Him who built the earth and sky, who, "throned in height sublime, sits amid the cherubim," King of the Universe, King of kings and Lord of lords.
He then went back to the jeweler's bench for eight years, varying the monotony of his work by modeling independently small reliefs of Eagle and Serpent, Eagle and Antelope, Leopard, Panther, and other animals.
She was tall and slender, and dressed with extreme elegance; she led by a cord a large poodle of the most fantastic aspect. He was combed and decked like a ram for sacrifice; his trunk and haunches were of the most transparent pink, his fleecy head and shoulders as white as jeweler's cotton, and his tail and ears ornamented with long blue ribbons.
Say, he's a funny guy. Well, he'd been in talking about you. He said you were out in front of the jeweler's shop and wondered if he could get out without you seeing him." Hiram only stared and waited. "He told me your name was Hiram Hooker, and that you had just come from Mendocino County. That's how I knew." For quite a time she was silent.
