"Promise me, then, that you will make the experiment. See, here is a little chain-stitch pouch poor Peggy Duckworth's gift to me with two pockets. Let me fasten it under your dress, and then you will always have it about you." "If the bottle broke as I rode home!" "Impossible; it is a scent-bottle of strong glass." Here Mr.
Kit could feel the change it was like passing from day to night; and it chilled the boy's heart. Up there in the lonely stillness, sea beneath, heaven above, earth around, the two faced each other. All the laughter had ebbed from the man's being. He was still and cold as his sword. "D'you know what is in here?" tapping the scent-bottle. His eyes, frosty now, seemed to bore down to the boy's soul.
That room was like an asylum of bourgeois rectitude, luxurious dignity, in which she felt protected, saved. Some little objects on which her eyes lighted, a pocket scent-bottle ornamented with an opal, a paper-knife of burnished silver left inside a book, fully reassured her. She was moved, almost surprised at the sight of them, as if they had acquired some new and particular meaning.
Langhope's lameness as to his daughter's nerves, had proposed to turn back with him and drive to Mrs. Amherst's, where he might leave her to call while the others were completing their rounds. It was one of Mrs. Ansell's gifts to detect the first symptoms of ennui in her companions, and produce a remedy as patly as old ladies whisk out a scent-bottle or a cough-lozenge; and Mr.
On the little dressing-table there was a dainty looking-glass in a carved and gilt frame; bits of wax-candle were still in the branched sockets at the sides, and on one of these branches hung a little black lace kerchief; a faded satin pin-cushion, with the pins rusted in it, a scent-bottle, and a large green fan, lay on the table; and on a dressing-box by the side of the glass was a work-basket, and an unfinished baby-cap, yellow with age, lying in it.
The old man asked no more. Tired now, he wished to be alone with his sword, his Bible, and his memories. The boy blew his nose, and set off along the foot of the cliff, the scent-bottle in his hand. Beneath the chalk boulders that strewed the bottom of the cliff, weird in the white gloom, a band of shingle ran like a road before him. He took it, the shingle crunching beneath his feet.
You even laugh at our sufferings; that is generosity! please don't walk about I should not have expected this of you! Stop the clock; the click of the pendulum rings in my head. Thanks! Oh, what an unfortunate creature I am! Have you a scent-bottle with you? Yes, oh! for pity's sake, allow me to suffer in peace, and go away; for this scent splits my head!" What can you say in reply?
And as he turned up his intellectual little physiognomy to the deep, warm Egyptian sky and inhaled the air sniffingly, as though it were a monster scent-bottle just uncorked for his special gratification, he smiled as he observed Muriel Chetwynd Lyle standing entirely alone at the end of the terrace, attired as a "Boulogne fish-wife," and looking daggers after the hastily- retreating figure of a "White Hussar," no other than Ross Courtney.
For the sake of the army of just men and true, for the sake of the myriads of patient, loving women, for the sake of the pitiful and helpful, for the sake of the good that lies hidden within us, spare us, O Lord. It was only a piece of broken glass. From its shape and colour, I should say it had, in its happier days, formed portion of a cheap scent-bottle.
"Yes, ladies are so fond of such sacrifices, Frank, upon my word, I had no idea you were so very excellent at making speeches." "Well," said Frank, "I shouldn't have said sacrifice, that was a slip; what I meant was " "Oh, dear me," said Patience, "wait a minute; now we are going to have a regular declaration. Lady Margaretta, you haven't got a scent-bottle, have you?
