This was an elegant pier-glass, into whose depths he was accustomed to gaze in self-admiration. He was flashily dressed in a heavy coat, buff waistcoat, and drab trousers. A gold chain of fabulous weight hung around his neck and held his Jurgensen repeater.
'Now, Pawel! drive on as fast as the horses will go, cried the priest. He pulled out his repeater watch: it was a quarter to ten. 'I shall be late, he murmured, 'but not too late for everything; there will be time for some fun yet. As soon as the sledge had melted into the darkness, and silence again brooded over his home, an irresistible desire for sleep seized Slimak.
Lively pawned his watch a fine gold repeater for twenty dollars, and the next day, with an aching heart but smiling face, turned his back on the city whose bold challenges, splendid successes and dramatic career made it to him the most fascinating spot, the most dearly loved, this side of heaven.
The old rascal's eyes glittered as his hand closed on it, and it seemed to me he understood; and so he did, but not what I intended. I never got the pistol back. He understood that a fool and his repeater are soon parted.
It was one of her peculiarities that she would wear no jewellery of any kind. Even the gold repeater in her hand was on a plain leather strap. She undressed slowly and each moment felt more wide-awake. Slipping a thin wrap over her pyjamas and lighting a cigarette she went out on to the broad balcony on to which her bedroom gave.
Among them were women and children and the confusion and excitement were fearful. Standing thus, Grimcke again raised his repeater and deliberately opened fire on the crowd.

If it is for my benefit alone, then he must take ordinary care of it. For instance, suppose I had a very superior repeater watch, which the watchmaker should come and borrow of me, in order to see the construction of it. Then suppose I should leave another watch of mine, a lever, at his shop to be repaired.
But before finally accepting, she desired to know what o'clock it was. I struck my repeater, and this seemed to astound her greatly. * A cafe to which a depot of ice, or rather of snow, is attached. There is hardly a village in Spain without its neveria. "What clever inventions you foreigners do have! What country do you belong to, sir? You're an Englishman, no doubt!"*
"You jostled me purposely, sir!" Halliday turned and smiled. "Jim Haggard, why should you shove me and then lie about it? can't you pick a fight for the truth?" "Don't speak to me, you white nigger! Are you armed?" "Yes!" "Then, Launcelot Halliday," yelled the editor, backing out upon the sidewalk and drawing his repeater, "I denounce you as a traitor, a poltroon, and a coward!"
