After all, she reflected, if she had to go to bed at half past eight she would keep the shawl on. Which resolution comforted her absolutely. "Now, then, where are my clothes?" cried Herr Brechenmacher, hanging his empty letter-bag behind the door and stamping the snow out of his boots. "Nothing ready, of course, and everybody at the wedding by this time. I heard the music as I passed.
Then he remembered how many of his letters in days of yore had been opened and answered by the helpmate who had just gone from him. Since Dr Tempest's visit he had insisted that the palace letter-bag should always be brought in the first instance to him, and this had been done, greatly to the annoyance of his wife.
Browne accordingly made an agreement with two natives, to take the letter-bag to the Anabranch of the Darling, and send it on to Lake Victoria by other natives, who were to be rewarded for their trouble. For this service our messengers were to receive two blankets and two tomahawks, and the bag being closed they started off with it. I had proposed to Mr.
She was also thinking of Rosamund, the daughter of her dear friend. A servant came in with the letter-bag. Lady Jane never had any special correspondence, and she was in no hurry to open it; but having quite consumed her breakfast, she thought she might as well do so.

And every week the messenger, a long negro, letter-bag on shoulder and staff in hand, left our station for the coast.
When Jane had locked the letter-bag earlier that evening, and handed it to Simpson, she had slipped in two letters of her own. One was addressed to Georgina, Duchess of Meldrum Portland Place The other, to Sir Deryck Brand Wimpole Street Both were marked: Urgent. If absent, forward immediately. Tuesday passed uneventfully, to all outward seeming.

Great as was the pleasure of the ladies, the boys hardly felt enthusiastic over the news; they were so jolly as they were, that they feared any change would be for the worse.
Tom tried to write a poem to his memory, but broke down, declaring that his feelings overcame him; though in truth he couldn't manage to make even the two first lines rhyme, so that that might have had something to do in the matter." While Gerald was rattling on, Archie produced the letter-bag, which he had hitherto forgotten to give to Commander Murray.
