Then he also showed her the slipper, and the corner of the neck-kerchief, and the bit of the night-dress.

At this Herdegen hastened to take out a gold pin set with sapphire stones, which Cousin Maud had given him, from his neck-kerchief, to offer it to his uncle; but the elder would have nothing to say to such foolishness, and pushed the pin away.
