We crossed the churchyard and a field or two, and all was as flat, and bare, and stony as can be imagined; and as we were going and going farther from the shore of the lake, I wondered how and when we were to come to this cavern. The guide called me to stop, and I stopped; and well I did: I was on the brink of the Pigeon-hole just like an unfenced entrance to a deep deep well.
Sam, that's awfully small." "It ain't, as you might say, colossal," admitted Gretry. There was a long silence while the two men studied the report still further. Gretry took a pamphlet of statistics from a pigeon-hole of his desk, and compared certain figures with those mentioned in the report. Outside the rain swept against the windows with the subdued rustle of silk.
He felt that he must revive his spirits. They had been drooping all day, he knew not why. When he saw the empty pigeon-hole in the cupboard, his sight swam. It was some time before it cleared, but, when it did, and he knew beyond peradventure the crushing, everlasting truth, not a sound escaped him. His heart stood still. His face filled with a panic confusion.

From a disused pigeon-hole in her mind she drew out and unfolded to its short length that attractive remnant, that half-forgotten episode of her teens. She remembered everything I mean everything she wished to remember.
There were facilities for smoking and for drinking, a lounge which showed marks of wear, and a writing-desk in one corner. This desk held the young man's gaze. It was open.

Not content with once more searching the cardboard boxes, she drew out one of them from the pigeon-hole, hoping to find what she sought behind the box: her first attempt failed, but the second was more successful. She found behind the middle box a copy-book of considerable thickness.
The work was absorbing, yet, eager as she was to work, her mind went back to that letter in the pigeon-hole up in the cabin. She was deep in the mystery of it when a voice startled her. It came from back of the cabinet. "I say," the voice sang cheerily, "have you any letters in your little P. O. on the hill?" The voice thrilled her. It was new and sounded young.
It is as unwise to be always saying to oneself, 'Into what pigeon-hole of my brain ought I to put this fact, and what conclusion ought I to draw from it? as to ask your teeth how they intend to chew, and your gastric juice how it intends to convert your three courses and a dessert into chyle.
"The young man growled out something, in which the words 'Old scoundrel! were audible. Daddy Gobseck did not move an eyebrow. He drew a pair of pistols out of a pigeon-hole, remarking coolly: "'As the insulted man, I fire first. "'Maxime, you owe this gentleman an explanation, cried the trembling Countess in a low voice. "'I had no intention of giving offence, stammered Maxime.
I told you the judge would make it all right. What's wanted? Bed? Well, here!" The captain filled up a blank which he took from a pigeon-hole, and gave it to Lemuel. "I guess that'll fix you out for the night. And tomorrow you put back to Willoughby Pastures tight as you can get there. You're on the wrong track now.
