The elder boy, with the tumbled brown hair, dressed in a light-brown coat trimmed with red-brown velvet, and hose of cinnabar-red, with decorations of gold clasps and tags on fine blue cords, has a yellowish-green portemonnaie, with tassels of dull blue hanging from his girdle. All the carnations are superb, and in the Darmstadt picture the infant Christ wears a sweet and happy smile.
Besides, a man who lives at other people's expense can afford to dress well. "What shall I do?" thought Ben, disturbed in mind. "Ought I not to warn the lady that she is in danger of losing her money?" While he was hesitating the deed was accomplished. A pearl portemonnaie was adroitly drawn from the lady's pocket and transferred to that of the young man.
The latch string was put forth, and while Faith still stayed her hand, her mother, absolved from selfish end, was fain to catch it up. "At the Rushleighs'. The Old Year out and the New Year in." "Oh, well, we mustn't 'let the colt go bare," answered Mr. Gartney, pleasantly, portemonnaie in hand. "But you must make that do." He handed her five dollars.
There was no use in remonstrating with Rufe, everything that came within his eccentric orbit seemed to realize that, and the deedie was contentedly nestling down in his pocket, apparently resigned to lead the life of a portemonnaie.
Arthur had already searched every pocket for the change, which he felt certain was there the day before; but, to his utter astonishment, it was all gone, together with a very beautiful portemonnaie his mother had given him when he left her, and in which, the day before, he had placed two ten dollar bills, for the purpose of sending home when he should write.
The Doctor looked straight at the mantel-piece as he asked: "Where did you get that idea?" "I don't know; partly from nowhere, and" "Partly from Mary," interrupted the Doctor. He put out his long white palm. "It's all right. Give me the money." Richling counted it into his hand. He rolled it up and stuffed it into his portemonnaie. "You like to part with your hard earnings, do you, Richling?"
Come on, come on! I'll go with you, else those rascals will cheat you. Men are wolves, wolves, wolves. They're to carry the clock up to your house for a quarter apiece. But I'll come on with you. Got half a dollar?" "Oh, yes," laughed Mercy, much pleased that the old man was willing she should pay the porters. "Oh, yes, I have my portemonnaie here," holding it up.
"Come, now, make it a dollar, my beauty. I'll call it all square for a dollar." The whine grew louder as he spoke; and the wheedling grin on his disgusting face changed into an expression so menacing that Annie drew back with a shudder, and was about returning her little portemonnaie to her pocket. "No, you don't, honey!"
Newcome," the refractory waiting-woman cried out, and again she laughed a strident laugh. Mrs. Mackenzie briskly shut her portemonnaie, and rose up from table, quivering with indignant virtue. "Go!" she exclaimed, "go and pack your trunks this instant! you quit the house this night, and a policeman shall see to your boxes before you leave it!"
Now, do be silent, that is a good old soul, if it is only for her sake; for you know, in spite of the way she has served me, everything I have or make will go to my child in the end. I am ready to make it worth your while to be quiet." Here Olympia took out a portemonnaie and unclasped it. The old woman put the glittering thing aside with her hand. "I do not take money," she said.
