Lady Selina wiped her pen, in her scarlet embroidered pen-wiper, closed the lid of her patent inkstand, folded a piece of blotting-paper over the note she was writing, pushed back the ruddy ringlets from her contemplative forehead, gave a slight sigh, and turned herself towards her cousin, with the purpose of commencing a vigorous lecture and cross-examination, by which she hoped to exorcise the spirit of lamentation from Fanny's breast, and restore her to a healthful activity in the performance of this world's duties.
It was a stocking belonging to some bathing person which had been cast upon the island, and at the time I speak of it contained a hundred and eighty crumbs, thirty-four nuts, sixteen crusts, a pen-wiper, and a boot-lace. When his stocking was full, Solomon calculated that he would be able to retire on a competency. Peter now gave him a pound. He cut it off his bank-note with a sharp stick.
Ben looked into the dusty recess, and then put in his hand, saying carelessly, "There's nothing but a bit of red stuff." "My old pen-wiper Why, what's the matter?" asked Miss Celia, as Ben dropped the handful Of what looked like rubbish. "Something warm and wiggly inside of it," answered Ben, stooping to examine the contents of the little scarlet bundle. "Baby mice! Ain't they funny?
If I had had any other kind of a rag about me a pen-wiper or anything of the sort I think I would have asked them if they could match that. But I stepped up to a young woman and presented my sample, with the usual question. "Back room, counter on the left," she said. I went there. "Have you any red calico like this?"

The old man seemed much affected by this, and said, "Yes, sir, we shall be glad to see you whenever you can look in upon us" and then with much fumbling drew out and presented a small pen-wiper to Hugh, which he had made with his own hands "and God bless you, sir!" he added, with an apology for the liberty he was taking.
On entering the hall the musician gave his long, black, pen-wiper cloak and his hat to Malachi, and supporting himself by his delicate fingers laid flat on the hall-table, extended first one thin leg, and then the other, while that obsequious darky unbuttoned his gaiters. His feet free, he straightened himself up, pulled the precious flute from his coat-tail pocket and carefully joined the parts.

One day her husband died unexpectedly. Cruel-minded courtiers suspected Isabella Angelica, but she was so obviously crushed that their suspicions were allayed. Her heart exulted she had killed him with a poisoned pen-wiper. No one knew. Poor Isabella Angelica!
Some men wipe their pens on their hair, not a very cleanly habit, in my opinion, besides, unless the colour of the hair is exceptionally dark, the ink shows. I had no sooner wiped my pen on the inside of my coat than I remembered Eliza's present. Determined to show her that I appreciated it, I took a full dip of ink, stepped into the drawing-room, and wiped the pen on the new pen-wiper.
'I don't know about that, Miss Wren retorted; 'but you had better by half set up a pen-wiper, and turn industrious, and use it. 'Why, if we were all as industrious as you, little Busy-Body, we should begin to work as soon as we could crawl, and there would be a bad thing!
