There was also a bookcase; on the shelves were volumes of Vertuch's "Orbis pictus," the "Portefeuille des enfants," the "History of Robinson Crusoe," and several numbers of a fashion magazine, the "Album des salons," the illustrations of which lay scattered about on tables and chairs. The guests were all assembled; not one was missing.
Well, my dear Eleanor, here I am now, brought out, tolerably well-behaved, only not dignified enough, according to Mamma, as fond of laughing, talking, and dancing as ever; and yet, do you know, a ball, though still very delightful, is far from being the most important event in creation; its anticipation does not keep me awake of a night: and what is more to the purpose, its recollection does not make me lock up my writing-desk, burn my portefeuille, and forget you, all of which you seem to imagine it has been able to effect.
Win at the Bourse, what follows? the Chamber, the Senate, the Cross, the Minister's 'portefeuille. I might rejoice in all this for the sake of Europe, could it last, and did it not bring the consequences that follow the demoralization which attends it.

'Lord Darrell, who was to have gone over as Chargé d'affaires, has announced to his father the impossibility of his becoming a diplomatist, so our poor attaché suffers, and is obliged to bear the portefeuille ad interim. 'Does your cousin like Vienna? 'Not at all.
Sent off the packet to Lockhart; at the same time sent Croker a volume of French tracts, containing La Portefeuille de Bonaparte, which he wished to see. Received a great cargo of papers from Bernadotte, some curious, and would have been inestimable two months back, but now my siege is almost made.
"But Lord Ulswater will be here in an hour, or perhaps less: may I tell him where you are, and suffer him to join you?" "If you will accompany him," answered Lady Flora, coldly, as she took up her portefeuille and withdrew. Now the pavilion was a small summer-house of stone, situated in the most retired part of the grounds belonging to Westborough Park.
