The room was dark, however, except for the dim twinkle of a candle or gaslight; and the regalia did not show to any advantage, though there are some rich jewels, set in their ancient gold.
Some were cataracts of sapphires, others roses dropped from a saint's tunic, others great carven platters strewn with heavenly regalia, others the sails of galleons bound for the Purple Islands; and in the western wall the scattered fires of the rose-window hung like a constellation in an African night.
Returning to them, and removing the wrapper, he exposes to view a half-dozen little rolls, in shape somewhat like regalia cigars, sharp-pointed at one end, and barbed as arrows. At a glance, both boys see what they are.
These cigars were cheap, but Harrigan had a novel way of adding to their strength if not to their aroma. He possessed a meerschaum cigar-holder, in which he had smoked perfectos for some years. The smoke of an ordinary cigar became that of a regalia by the time it passed through the nicotine-soaked clay into the amber mouthpiece.

If you don't hurry I'll sell you some stock in my Terminal Hotel Company." "Give me some papers to sign," ordered Washer, producing his check-book. Gresham met the colonel and Courtney on Broadway in full regalia just as they were turning in at the newest big cafe to dine that night. "I'm sorry to tell you, Mr. Courtney, that my warning of this noon was not unfounded," he remarked.
"Let's hear about the precious mission," jeered Behrend, "let's see the evidence. The threats'll keep!" Then Mortimer told them of how the Star of Poland came into Nur-el-Din's possession, and of the Crown Prince's embarrassment when the German authorities claimed it for the regalia of the new Kingdom of Poland.
