By the time Boges came in, the greater number of the women were already fully adorned in their costly jewelry, which would have represented probably, when taken together, the riches of a large kingdom. He was greeted by a shrill cry of joy from many voices.
You'd think that they would be a little screwy First Fundamentalists and all that, but they aren't. They're cheerful, mostly. Practical. The women can't wear jewelry." "Keeps them in their place," Jennifer said. "Wedding rings are about it," Oliver said. Jennifer cleared her throat loudly. "Oh, yeah . . ." Oliver said. "We should do something about that once you get your divorce."
Now came the difficult part of Grant's task. Where should he go to dispose of his pearls? He walked along undecided, till he came to a large jewelry store. It struck him that this would be a good place for his purpose, and he entered. "What can I do for you, young man?" asked a man of thirty behind the counter. "I have some pearl ornaments I would like to sell," said Grant.
"Now let us go for their baggage," said the constable, and this was done, but nothing more was found. It was soon buzzing around the battalion, which stood at parade rest, that something was wrong, and then somebody whispered that the Rovers were accused of breaking into a shop and stealing some jewelry. "It can't be true," said Fred Garrison. "I shall never believe it."

The bags were found to contain, among jewelry and other things that were apparently the proceeds of robberies, a number of pawntickets calling for stickpins, watches and other articles which the police lieutenant at the desk announced would be looked up by some of his men.
Brickyards were in the center of the city, from which all the bricks had been taken, leaving only dust, which was stirred by gusts of wind filling the air at times to suffocation. Pennsylvania Avenue was grotesque with its big and little buildings, its small and impoverished shops set between the more splendid windows of jewelry and fabrics. It was in such sharp contrast with Chicago.
Matthews showed them to the door, and as by this time the reporters were well away intent on other affairs, they went out of the building in the regular way-a more seemly way than scuttling down fire escapes and breaking into jewelry shops, so Betty declared. "Well, good gracious!" observed Bobby, when they were once outside. "If this hasn't been an exciting morning!
Handcuffs and chains would look still better on Jim, but it wouldn't go well with the story of us being so poor. Too much like jewelry.
