Only imagine, if the Hecate had but seen Jonathan's lit-up looks, or Grace's down-cast blushes; for it really slipped my observation to record that there were blushes, and probably some cause for them when the keep-sake was given and accepted; only conceive if the step-mother had heard Jonathan's afterward soliloquy, when he was watching pretty Grace as she tripped away and how much he seemed to think of her eyes and eye-lashes!
'Spect he'd like a keep-sake, too, said Dingee, laying down another card. 'Mas' May put his away mighty safe. If ever his little mistress was near being furious, I think it was then. Eyes and cheeks were in a flame. 'I left nothing uncertain last night! she said, turning upon him. 'Major Seaton knows that, if he will take the trouble to remember.
"I suppose I shall survive the loss of it. It is a trinket that isn't of much value only as a keep-sake. But I won't keep you standing there talking any longer, Andrew; your master will be waiting for the brandy." "I'll see you later, Antoinette," he said, nodding as he picked up his glass. The next moment he had disappeared within his master's apartments.
"His broad blue bonnet was sent to Edinburgh several weeks ago, to the great regret of some gentlemen connected with the land, who wished to have it for a keep-sake. For my part, fond as I am of blue bonnets, and broad ones in particular, I declare I durst not have worn that one.
Somewhere in the struggle against sheep and the drought he had lost her, as a man loses a keep-sake which he has carried so long against his heart that its absence is as unnoticed as its presence, and he never knows himself the poorer. After the drought had come the sheep, the stampede, fierce quarrels with the Swopes, threats and counter-threats and then the preparations for war.
There the illustrious prisoner was visited by Mgr. Lacerda, Bishop of Rio Janeiro, who took off his pectoral cross, which was a family keep-sake, and placing it around the neck of Mgr. Oliveira, said: “My Lord, you have full jurisdiction throughout this land to which you are brought as a captive. My clergy, the chapter of my cathedral, all will be most happy to obey your orders.
As it was, her husband had promptly come to be, for her, the best, the finest man she had ever known. But it might easily have been different. His attitude towards her was thoughtfulness itself. Hardly ever was he absent from her, even for a day, that he did not bring her some little present, some little keep-sake or even a bunch of flowers when he returned in the evening.
No idea of leaving it behind her was in her mind. Her resolution vibrated between two miseries the misery of preserving her keep-sake after she had parted from him forever, and the misery of destroying it. Resigned to one more sacrifice, she took the card in both hands to tear it up.
Cole-Mortimer was a devout Catholic and it might easily be some cherished keep-sake of hers. The girl carried the cross to the window; an "X" had been scrawled by some sharp-pointed instrument at the junction of the bars. There was no other mark to identify the trinket. She put the cross in her bag, and when she saw Mrs. Cole-Mortimer again she forgot to ask her about it.
The third witness produced was Theodosius M'Mahon, or, as he was better known, Toddy Mack, the Pedlar, who deposed to the fact of having, previously to his departure for Boston, given to Peter Magennis a present of a steel tobacco-box as a keep-sake, and as the man did not use tobacco, he said, on putting it into his pocket "This will do nicely to hould my money in, on my way home from Dublin."
