He met Jelly, who looked him over coldly, while he lopped over the glass show-case and smoked a bad cigar. Sommers thought he detected a malicious grin on the clerk's face when Jelly questioned him one day about his practice. The successful physician seemed to sum him up in a final speech. "What people want hereabouts is a practical, smart man.
At the flank of this confusion was a show-case containing a rather fair line of side-arms. Steve, his eye finding what it sought, went straight to the back of the house. And then, looking through an open door which gave entrance to the living-room of the storekeeper's family, his glance met Terry's. She was rising to her feet, drawing on her gauntlets.
"Certainly! Most certainly! My cousin's sweetheart, his Excellency's adjutant, told her so. And I'm of the opinion that it's the very same ring that the older daughter wore on the day of the fiesta. She's always covered with diamonds." "A walking show-case!" "A way of attracting attention, like any other! Instead of buying a fashion plate or paying a dressmaker "
One afternoon a gentleman entered the shop to make some trifling purchase, and, as the shopkeeper happened to be engaged with a customer, he remained standing at the counter, till he should be at leisure, and his eye wandered carelessly over the articles in the show-case.
As it is, it must be confessed that the arrival of Miss Prissy in a family was much like the setting up of a domestic show-case, through which you could look into all the families in the neighborhood, and see the never-ending drama of life, births, marriages, deaths, joy of new-made mothers, whose babes weighed just eight pounds and three-quarters, and had hair that would part with a comb, and tears of Rachels who wept for their children, and would not be comforted because they were not.
"This is Miss Carpenter's," she said. "We are just alike, except that she is rose colored and I am blue." There were some things Norah had not mentioned, toilet articles such as Miss Martin had never seen outside of a show-case, and a silk dressing-gown of great daintiness that lay across a chair in Miss Carpenter's room.
If you have a reputation it won't do to parade it in a show-case. We'll take a taxi." Lorelei's relief must have been obvious, for Adoree sped swiftly to the corner, then was back again without the dog. "If there's anything more conspicuous than a blonde with a white poodle," she explained, "it's two blondes with two poodles." Then, she flung herself into the cab and slammed the door.
"I want a lollypop and so does Bunny." Mrs. Redden opened the glass show-case in which the candy was kept. As she reached in her hand, to take out the lollypops, Bunny and Sue, standing in front, saw a brown, hairy paw also put into the case. And the brown paw, which was close to Mrs. Redden's hand, caught up a bunch of lollypops and quickly pulled them out. "Oh! oh! oh, dear!" screamed Mrs.
Darlés glanced about him. He noted that a white-bearded old gentleman doubtless the proprietor was closely observing him from the rear of the shop. Already the student had made up his plan of attack. He would snatch the jewels and break for the door. He had left this door ajar, on purpose. The clerk came back with the necklace, which he laid on the moss-green cloth that covered the show-case.
I began by showing up my jewelry early in the morning to clerks or porters at the hotel, and in the evening before retiring, to the hotel girls. As soon as the stores were opened I visited every merchant in town, and sold to Jewelers, Grocers, dealers in Dry Goods and Hardware, Druggists, Restaurants, Milliners, in short, to every one who had a show-case.
