The portraits of the age of Francis I. and our Queen Elizabeth, frequently represent ladies in a superfluity of jewellery, of a most elaborate character. The portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, in our National Portrait Gallery, is loaded with chains, brooches, and pendants, enough to stock the show-case of a modern manufacturer.
"I suppose it's good-bye then," she said. "You haven't got the nerve?" "The nerve for what?" "To come where you belong: with me." She laughed a little and then sighed. She wished he would come nearer, or look at her differently: she felt, under his cool eye, no more compelling than a woman of wax in a show-case. "How could I get a divorce? With my religion "
Here in Money's cardinal nerve-center there had been inevitable rumblings of future eruptions from pent-up apprehensions of panic, but this morning the spring sun came laughing through the great windows at the east and the idle brokers laughed back. The psychology of this mart where the world trades with neither counter nor show-case nor tangible wares is fitful.
She continued to gaze longingly at the rosy beauty, while the salesgirl meditatively dusted the show-case. "Stop! I'll tell you how you can manage to get it," Julia said, suddenly. "It's the rule of this store that on Christmas Eve, after all the customers are gone, each employee may choose as a present from the firm some article worth a quarter of his or her wages for the week.
Snivel, who has a palace on the Fifth Avenue, make a show-case for cheap diamonds of themselves at breakfast table. Beside these denizens are men of every shade and grade of society.

She's so rich she can do anything she wants to. I guess if she wants him she can clear out with him and live in where is it? in Moscow. That's about the place for ducks like him."

He lifts his foot to place it on the customary iron railing of a whisky shop.

She was forty, but not fair. Orme asked to see a set of studs. She drew a box from a show-case and spread the assortment before him. He selected a set and paid her, offering a ten-dollar bill. She turned to a cash register and made change which included a five-dollar bill. Orme could hardly believe his eyes.
She breathed easier, smiled at the houses, recognized with joy the look of the city, whose details all true Parisians seem to carry in their eyes and hearts.
