This was fastened with a gold brooch at the neck; a necklet of the same metal and several gold bracelets completed his costume, except that he wore a flat cap and sandals. Edmund had a green tunic and cloak of deep red colour; while Egbert was dressed in yellow with a green cloak the Saxons being extremely fond of bright colours.
In the centre hung a pendant consisting of a single emerald of enormous size and brilliant lustre, and as I regarded it in the half light, its shape struck me as distinctly curious. I snatched up the lamp, and bending, examined the quaintly-cut gem more minutely. Then, next instant, I cried excitedly: "See! The shape of the pendant proves the origin of the necklet!"
Adeline looked first at the woman and then at her husband, who stared at the chain with wide-open eyes. "No, it belongs to your master," she said, taking the proffered chain. "Thank you! Your master will give you something for finding it." He was sitting there, pale and motionless. "I have no money, ask my wife to give you something," he said, taking the necklet.
He's stolen a couple of diamonds from my necklet, and sold them back to me." She held out the rivière. It was all too true. Two gems were missing and these two just fitted the empty places! A light broke in upon me. I clapped my hand to my head. "By Jove," I exclaimed, "the little curate is Colonel Clay!" Charles clapped his own hand to his brow in turn.
You will be shaven clean, and you will wear a red blouse and wooden shoes. You want rings on your fingers, you will have an iron necklet on your neck. If you glance at a woman, you will receive a blow. And you will enter there at the age of twenty. And you will come out at fifty!
Unclasping the armlets, one after another, she delivers them to Shebotha. But the avaricious beldame is not yet satisfied. With her eyes upon the chain necklet and its glittering attachments, she nods towards it, as much as to say, "That too." And it, also, is detached; and handed over to her.
They are simply placed over their hair and leave uncovered the delicate features, the golden necklet and the half-bared arms that carry on their wrists thick twisted bracelets of virgin gold. Pure Egyptians as they are, they have preserved the same delicate profile, the same elongated eyes, as mark the old goddesses carved in bas-relief on the Pharaonic walls.
Upon the following day the king moved with his force to Glasgow, which had already been evacuated by the English garrison, and the next morning Marjory for Archie through life insisted upon calling her by the pet name under which he had first known her was married to Sir Archibald Forbes. The Bruce gave her away, and presented her with a splendid necklet of pearls.
Only Nora must not go next Tuesday; that was quite impossible. Mrs. O'Shanaghgan quickly determined to make the sacrifice. She could still supply Nora with a little, very simple pearl necklet, to wear with her white dress during her visit; and the cross would have to go. There would be a few rings still left; after that the jewel case would be empty. Mrs.
The enemy, so far as I could judge, were on the left and in front, and in the gully I might find a pot-hole to bury the necklet in. Only a desperate resolution took me through the tangle of juniper bushes into the red screes of the gully. At first I could not find what I sought. The stream in the ravine slid down a long slope like a mill-race, and the sides were bare and stony.
