He had not long to dwell on the query. Before he knew it he was face to face with her. She had been looking in the jeweler's window while she waited for him, and had turned as he came abreast. She was smiling. "You're a minute late," she scolded, pointing to the jeweler's brass clock. "Yes, ma'am I was kept." "Oh, don't look so serious. A minute's nothing." "No, ma'am not much."
Hiram thought that perhaps the linen collar was a trifle too large. Thus criticizing, and walking slower and slower, he neared the restaurant. Now it was impossible to take another step without coming abreast of it. He stopped and looked in a jeweler's window next door. He stood there fifteen minutes.
I got what I wanted to fit me out for the character of Armadale's widow by nothing less than the sale of Armadale's own present to me on my marriage the ruby ring! It proved to be a more valuable jewel than I had supposed. I am likely to be spared all money anxieties for some time to come. "On leaving the jeweler's, I went to the great mourning shop in Regent Street.
I know I've seen packages just like that before, somewhere," said Will. "But I can't, for the life of me, think where it was." "Was it in a jeweler's window?" asked Amy, in a low voice, from where she stood beside him. "That's it, little girl! You've struck it!" Will cried, and impulsively he held out his hand, which Amy clasped, blushing the while.
A few days previously the great jeweler's shop had been entered by a couple singularly unlike in aspect to the patrons who were accustomed to frequent it. One of them was a weather-beaten man in a rough pilot jacket; the other was an odd old woman bundled up in a threadbare coat of the cheapest imitation fur. The man, with a gruff shyness, blurted out, "I should like to see a diamond necklace."
"That would be difficult to say. He broke into a jeweler's and was very badly beaten by the slaves, who slashed his face, which is heavily bandaged. He appears to be a Roman and is certainly a thief, but beyond that " "Much depends on who is interested in him," Pertinax suggested. "Usually a man's relatives " But the governor of Antioch's fat hand made a disparaging careless gesture.
"Because I don't want them, my dear." They went a little farther, and they came to another shop, which caught Rosamond's eye. It was a jeweler's shop; and there were a great many pretty baubles, ranged in drawers behind glass. "Mamma, you'll buy some of these?" "Which of them, Rosamond?" "Which? I don't know which; but any of them, for they are all pretty."
Why, think of all the big robberies that have been pulled off lately. Remember," he went on, "the spoils of a burglary consist generally of precious stones. They are not currency. They must be turned into currency or what's the use of robbery? "But merely to offer them for sale at an ordinary jeweler's would be suspicious. Even pawnbrokers are on the watch. You see what I am driving at?
Being now situated in the midst of a British barrack yard, they look like precious stones torn from their settings in some exquisite piece of oriental jeweler's work and set at random in a bed of the commonest plaster."
There were half a dozen boxes containing jewelry; these boxes undoubtedly had been stolen from women in stores or on the street. A few more rather valuable articles came to light, and then Dick, after opening one jeweler's box and looking inside, emitted a whoop of wild joy. "This must be the very watch that Fits stole from our parlor the watch intended for my Christmas present," Prescott cried.
