Her few and negligible garments hung apologetically in obscure corners of closets dedicated to her sister's wardrobe or her brother's, or her spruce and fussy old father's. Vague personal belongings, such as combings, handkerchiefs, a spectacle case, a hairbrush, were found tucked away in a desk pigeon-hole, a table drawer, or on the top shelf in the bathroom.
Adams's calculation was first begun and first completed. But it had one radical defect it was the work of a young and untried man. So it found lodgment in a pigeon-hole of the desk of England's Astronomer Royal, and an opportunity was lost which English astronomers have never ceased to mourn.
Snicker's Gap Private Harry on the "Anaconda" Not inclined to turn Boot-Black "Oh! why did you go for a Soldier?" The ex-News-Boy Pigeon-hole Generalship on the March The Valley of the Shenandoah A Flesh Carnival The Dutch Doctor on a Horse-dicker An Old Rebel, and how he parted with his Apple-Brandy Toasting the "Union" Spruce Retreats.
He next looked, after a little preliminary hesitation, into a long narrow drawer opening beneath some pigeon-hole recesses at the back. The tube was not there, either; and he shut the drawer to again, carefully and gently for inside it was the Hair Bracelet that had belonged to Madonna's mother, lying on the white handkerchief, which had also been taken from the dead woman's pocket.
Kennedy, who had a regular pigeon-hole mind for facts himself, was visibly impressed by the huge mechanical memory built up by Miss Ashton. Though he said nothing to me, I knew that Craig also had observed the state of affairs between the reform candidate and the suffrage leader.

"And as I wasn't back to write one for you," said Raffles, "you wrote it for me. And quite right, too!" "Don't laugh at me!" cried the boy, his lost colour rushing back.
He was greatly disturbed, when the note was not to be found in the scrutoire; he searched over and over again; not a pigeon-hole, not a drawer, remained to be examined.
Throughout his stroll his mind kept harking back to this letter, seeking behind the few and formal words for meanings they did not cover; and again that evening, after his frugal supper, he drew the envelope from its pigeon-hole, spread the paper on the table before him, and sat studying it. He lifted his head, at a sound in the passage.
That's just like you peelers, you're all the same! What do you know about me? Nuffink! This gen'leman ain't got no call to believe me, not as I knows on, it's all the same to me if 'e do or don't, but it's trewth what I'm sayin', all the same. At this point the Inspector re-appeared at the pigeon-hole. He cut short the flow of eloquence.
From force of habit, Rutherford glanced at the letter-rack on the wall at the foot of the stairs. There was one letter in his pigeon-hole. Mechanically he drew it out; and, as his eyes fell on the handwriting, something seemed to snap inside him. He looked at Peggy, standing on the bottom stair, and back again at the envelope in his hand.
