Todd describes a stone in the bladder of a child of sixteen months. May removed an enormous stone from a young girl, which had its nucleus in a brass penholder over three inches long. Multiple Vesical Calculi. Usually the bladder contains a single calculus, but in a few instances a large number of stones have been found to coexist.
"Hallo! here's the Cirque de Gavarnie! Ah! it's prodigious; everything is there; how can that colossal panorama have been got into so small a space? Come, I'll take this penholder; it's curious, and will remind me of my excursion."
Spruce untied her bonnet-strings and flung them apart, she likewise loosened the top button of her collar and heaved a deep sigh. Again the Reverend John smiled, and vaguely balanced a penholder on his fore-finger. "I daresay your mother was quite right, Mrs. Spruce! Indeed, I believe all our mothers were quite right in their day.
That was what worried me most, could I come across with the standin' spiel? But, believe me, I wa'n't trustin' to any offhand stuff! I'd got to know in advance what I meant to feed 'em, line for line and word for word. By ten o'clock that night I had it all down on paper too and perhaps I didn't chew the penholder and leak some from the brow while I was doin' it!
The famous and familiar horseshoe, in silver or silver-gilt, holding up the menu-card, is another pretty favor, and a very nice one to carry home, as it becomes a penholder when it is put on the writing-table. Wire rests, shaped like those used for muskets in barracks yards, are also used for the name and menu-cards. Baskets in various styles are often seen.
She pretended to put away the green, sharkskin penholder lying near the inkstand, but drew it imperceptibly nearer to Sulpice, who with a quick movement had already seated himself in front of the secrétaire. "A minister's signature is sufficient, I suppose?" he said with a smile. He commenced to write. "What did you say? Gochard?
There was a writing-table in Miss Munns's drawing-room also, on which were set out, in formal order, a papier-mache blotter embellished with a view of York Minster by moonlight, a brass ink-stand, which would have been insulted by the touch of ink, and a penholder with a cornelian handle which had never known a nib. Not the most daring of visitors had ever been known to desecrate that shrine.
Here again Mrs. Major paused; thoughtfully scratched her head with her penholder. Like authors more experienced, her emotions had driven her pen to a point demanding a special solution which was not immediately forthcoming. She had galloped into a wood. How to get out of it? Mrs. Major scratched thoughtfully; gazed at Old Tom; gazed round the room; on a happy inspiration gazed from the window.
She had held the end of the penholder gingerly while she made her "mark," and it was when old Withrow had been banished from the room, and the notary, in a bland, perfunctory way, had made her acquainted with the contents of the document, and inquired whether she signed the same freely and voluntarily, that she deigned to speak.
She was not looking at him as she spoke; she was toying with a penholder that lay before her on the desk, apparently intent on its construction.
