"But it doesn't match," Lois objected. "You look like a pie-bald pony now." Polly glanced about the room. A round celluloid powder-box caught her eye. She emptied the powder out and fitted the box over her hair. "That better?" she inquired. Lois was still laughing over this absurd picture, when the door opened, and in walked Betty and Fanny. "You two?" Polly exclaimed. "Oh, what a lark!"
'I gather from the little that you told me last night, said he, 'that your wardrobe is at present somewhat scanty. I fear that your inches are greater than those of anyone in my household, but I have brought a few things here amongst which you may find something to fit you. Here, too, are the razors, the soap, and the powder-box.
She didn't really want anything. Hennie whispered, "Chocolate!" But just as the waitress turned away she cried out carelessly, "Oh, you may as well bring me a chocolate, too." While we waited she took out a little, gold powder-box with a mirror in the lid, shook the poor little puff as though she loathed it, and dabbed her lovely nose. "Hennie," she said, "take those flowers away."
Getting no reply, he opened it, and tiptoeing hastily to the dressing-stand, he tucked the packet under the powder-box. A minute later he was back in the kitchen, and erelong was stamping through the snow, whistling cheerfully, which the hound echoed by yelps of excited delight. Janice was unusually thoughtful all through supper, and little less so afterwards.
Audrey noticed the clock, the rug, the powder-box, the speaking-tube, and the mirror. She gazed, and saw a face triumphant and delicious in the mirror. The car began to glide forward. She leaned back against the pale grey upholstery, but in her soul she was standing and crying with a wild wave of the hand, to the whole street: "It is a miracle!"
She was looking at the ten-kronen piece. "Where is the other?" she asked in a whisper. "In my powder-box." Little Scatchett lifted the china lid and dropped the tiny gold-piece. "Every little bit," she said flippantly, but still in a whisper, "added to what she's got, makes just a little bit more." "Have you thought of a place to leave it for her? If Rosa finds it, it's good-bye.
Claude began to bestow her belongings in his overcoat pockets; opera glasses in one, fan in another. She put a lorgnette into her little bag, along with her powder-box, handkerchief and smelling salts, there was even a little silver box of peppermint drops, in case she might begin to cough.
We have had several showers, though." He took a glance into Mrs. Langmore's dressing room. Everything was in perfect order, even to the powder-box and the cologne bottles on the dresser. "That is all I wish to see up here," he said, and passed below, where he encountered the policeman in charge.
Then I opened my powder-box, and put out the powder-puff, put my fine towels over the water-jug, and placed a piece of new soap near the basin. She watched my movements with a vexed look in her wide open eyes, without appearing either astonished or satisfied at my forethought. "Here is all that you require," I then said; "I will tell you when supper is ready."
She moved to the door and opened it, and as she did so a knock sounded along the tiny passage from the door that opened into the street. Eileen Cavendish was busy in front of the glass, and half turned, holding a diminutive powder-box in one hand and a scrap of swans-down in the other. "Yes," they heard the voice of Mrs. Gascoigne saying in the passage, "I'm here is that for me?"
