"There was something else," she said, when the interval had passed. "My head is so sleepy. I wonder whether I can think of it?" After a while, she did think of it. "I want to make you a little farewell present. Will you undo my gold chain? Don't cry, Ovid! oh, don't cry!" He obeyed her. The gold chain held the two lockets the treasured portraits of her father and her mother.
When ready for use, i.e. after it had been in immediate contact with the girl's flesh, so as to get it fully charged, they had portions of it set in rings, lockets and pendants.
The widow was evidently softened. A little time longer, and the most scrupulous moralist, the most rigid advocate for employing time wisely, could not have objected to my daily system of courtship. I was none of your sighing, dying, ogling, hand-squeezing, waist-pressing, oath-swearing, everlasting-adoring affairs, with an interchange of rings and lockets; not a bit of it.
Sam sat on the edge of 'is bed like a man in a dream, then 'e began to make a noise like a cat with a fish-bone in its throat, and then 'e stood up and let fly. "Don't stop 'im, Peter," ses Ginger.

Fine things like these may do very well in the old settlements, but they won't answer at the Pigeon Roost Fork of the Muddy. You had better lay them aside for the present, or we shall have no peace. "Polly and her sister luckily saw their error; they took off the lockets, laid them aside, and harmony was restored: otherwise, I verily believe there would have been an end of our community.
That's why I always kept it very carefully, and, after one of the lockets broke, I still kept it and the funny-looking paper inside of it." "I don't understand why Hardman didn't take the paper," he interrupted. "I suppose he did, and when he discovered that it held only half the secret of the mine he probably put it back in the locket. I see you have the other part."
We had with us some trinkets, glass necklaces, bracelets, rings, gilt lockets, knives, scissors, and other trifles, to barter with them, or to win their good-will. After pulling some way, we reached a sandy cove surrounded with trees of good height, and a quantity of brushwood below them. We saw several wigwams among the trees, and two canoes hauled up on the beach.
Lathrop asked. “I’ve been collecting photographs of Italian churches.” Maida went about identifying the places with little cries of joy. “Ara Coeli—I saw in there the little wooden bambino who cures sick people. It’s so covered with bracelets and rings and lockets and pins and chains that grateful people have given it that it looks as if it were dressed in jewels.
Mrs Macintyre after this announcement requested her pupils to go at once to their several tasks, only adding that she hoped to receive the names of the girls who meant to try for the six lockets by the following evening at latest.
