Here she had to pause for lack of breath; and Dick, who had been pursuing his shirt-stud, which had rolled into the foot-lights, now drew himself up, and in his stage-commanding voice declared the rehearsal to be over. A few of the girls lingered, but they were beckoned away by the others, who saw that the present time was not suitable for the discussion of boots, tights, and dressing-rooms.
Both were thankful when the solemn farce of eating and drinking came to an end; and Quita rose with an audible sigh of relief. "Are you coming into the drawing-room at all?" she asked, addressing the question to his centre shirt-stud. "Yes at once. I have a good deal to say to you."
Got a fine big shirt-stud on him!" "The dark object is his nucleus," said Challenger with the air of a nurse teaching letters to a baby. "Well, we needn't feel lonely," said Lord John laughing. "There's somebody livin' besides us on the earth."
Hopkins wore a silk hat and a "Prince Albert" coat morning, noon and night. His gold watch-chain was huge and imposing; he had a big diamond shirt-stud, and upon his puffy fingers several rings. He conveyed, nevertheless, the impression that he was more prosperous than refined, and the farmers and townsmen were as quick to recognize this as was Mr. Watson himself.
They talked as though they worked only for themselves; as though art, to the Western people, was a stage decoration; a diamond shirt-stud; a paper collar; but possibly the architects of Paestum and Girgenti had talked in the same way, and the Greek had said the same thing of Semitic Carthage two thousand years ago.
Louis who, it was recollected, had entertained President Grant, had presented him with a pair of horses and a wagon, and had given the General's private secretary a diamond shirt-stud valued at $2,400. Public opinion was yet further shocked, however, when the trail of indictments led to the President's private secretary, General Babcock.
"That is true, but how did this get here, Pop?" As Captain Putnam paused he held up a stud set with a ruby-the very stud the cadet Weeks had lost! "Dat dat stud I never seen dat shirt-stud before, cap'n, 'deed I didn't," stammered the waiter. "That is certainly Weeks' stud; I remember it well," put in George Strong. "He showed it to me one day, stating it was a gift from his aunt."
Occurrences apparently quite trivial troubled him profoundly, and he was anxious for several days because he had lost a shirt-stud given him by Mme. de Berny and could not determine what could be the meaning of the loss.
It might have reached his shirt-stud had he known the number of creditors that had preceded him.
"I wrote a contrite letter to the Governor, stating case, requesting forgiveness and money. No go! Couldn't raise neither. I then wrote, casting him off. 'You are no longer father of mine." He smiled again radiantly. "You should have seen me the next time I went home! Plug hat! Imported suit! Gold watch! Diamond shirt-stud! Cost me $200 to paralyze the General, but I did it.
