I have just returned from Flat Rock; have had all the papers made for you; China, you are a free woman!" "O, Master Duncan! good Master Duncan!" was all she could say again. "Here, China, this is probably the last present I shall ever make you," handing to her a portmonnaie containing a few pieces of silver and gold, as also the invaluable papers of manumission.
"Not a shilling, sir," exclaimed the lady, putting the portmonnaie into the pocket of her rustling silk-dress; "I will not pay you for going among poor people and degrading yourself; only keep a proper medium, my son, and you have a most indulgent mamma, but without that I'm granite."
Here the speaker opened his portmonnaie and took from it a silver dollar, saying, "Take this, my boy, not as a reward for your integrity, that, understand, is a matter of more worth than to be rewarded with money, but simply as payment for your time and trouble in defending my property." "Oh, sir, please don't. I really don't want the money," said Ishmael, shrinking from the offered coin.
This stately official at last consented to issue tickets; as I had not change enough to pay I gave him a sovereign, and, not having time to count the change, I stuffed it into my portmonnaie and made a rush for the cars as they snorted on the start.
That's all right when a man works for me when a man in the other pocket, I reckon when a man why, where the mischief as that portmonnaie! when a well now that's odd Oh, now I remember, must have left it at the bank; and b'George I've left my check-book, too Polly says I ought to have a nurse well, no matter.

"What can I do to alleviate their sorrows?" She looked again at the wan, childish faces, then drew out her slender portmonnaie.
You may read it, madam, if you please," continued the duke, as he opened his portmonnaie and handed her a tiny, folded paper. The abbess took it and read as follows: "DUKE OF HEREWARD: I have just arisen from a bed of illness which has lasted ever since my flight, and prevented me from writing to you up to this time.
Not to be balked, her inquisitor searched in a portmonnaie attached to her left wrist with a strap, and produced a card. "We may as well know each other's names," she cooed affably. "Here is my card." Helen read, "Mrs. H. de Courcy Vavasour, Villa Menini, Nice."

Hulloa! what is this?" and Crawley changed countenance as he opened a portmonnaie which he took out of the box, and drew from it a five-pound note. "I have been robbed!" he cried. "There were four half-sovereigns, two sovereigns, and twelve shillings in silver, besides this bank-note in the purse this morning, and now there is only the five-pound note here!"
