'Oh, go on, Dick; go on never mind where it is how much did you get for them? 'I'm coming to that; keep cool, dear mamma. Well, I went in, and I saw the manager, and I said: "I want you to make these up into a horse-shoe scarf-pin for me." 'You said that! You never tried to sell one? Oh, Dick, you are too provoking! 'Hold on, mater; I haven't done yet.
After all, he was a man; his very tread on the floor above, which it shall never hear again, told me that. What does it all mean? Who was the man in the hall, the man who had argued so loudly, who had struck so surely with that queer Indian knife? Where is the knife now? And, above all, what do the white asters signify? And the scarab scarf-pin? And that absurd Homburg hat?
The boy came home in vacations with his moustache, his gorgeous scarf-pin and his quick, eager talk: he brought, too, piles of gilded prize-books, and once a silver medal.
This he put on, taking particular pains to select a very plain cravat, and to fasten in it with care the scarf-pin bestowed upon him by old Benson, the little watchmaker on the corner below.
His gloves, his scarf-pin, his watch-chain, his mustache, his eye-glass, the crease in his nether garments, the cut of his coat-tails, the curves of his hat all uttered with one accord the final word of fashion, left nothing else to be said.

When the bride returns the initial call, that scarf-pin adds conspicuously to her adornment. The calm appropriation makes the giver grind her teeth and the bride knows it.

Carroll, looking at her, smiled a little sadly. "It was then," said she, "Hart Lee's pearl that he left you when he died your scarf-pin." Carroll smiled. Anna's face changed a little. "I noticed that you had not worn it lately," said she. "Sooner or later it would have been the child's. It might as well be sooner," said Carroll, with a slightly annoyed air.
"She meant it all right," said Miller, "but it was a woman's idea of a bluff, and it didn't go. She told us that before we urged her brother on to fight, we should have found out that he has spent the last five years in Paris, and that he's the gilt-edged pistol-shot of the salle d'armes in the Rue Scribe, that he can hit a scarf-pin at twenty paces. Of course that ended it.
"It'll go all right under a fancy waistcoat," was the reply; "and while you're about it, George, you'd better get me a scarf-pin, and, if you could run to a gold watch and chain " He was interrupted by a frenzied outburst from Mr. Spriggs; a somewhat incoherent summary of Mr. Price's past, coupled with unlawful and heathenish hopes for his future.
