On one side, as you entered, were ranges of shelves, protected by a counter, on which were exposed rolls of flannels of divers colors, and calico and broadcloth, and other "dry goods," while a showcase on the counter contained combs, and tooth-brushes, and soaps, and perfumery, and a variety of other small articles.
The cover was off her showcase, an' there was a diamond sunburst in the middle of it, an' the jewels were surrounded by charms to which I am not wholly insensible even now. "'I wanted ye to tell Mr. Potter about yer travels, says Sam. "Lizzie smiled an' looked out o' the window a minute an' fetched a sigh an' struck out, lookin' like Deacon Bristow the day he give ten dollars to the church.
Besides, Hadds was foamin' so it was all I could do to keep him from goin' over and kickin' the Major, who still was oblivious to surroundings, and enwrapped in the gentle art of sneezin'. Then there come a fearful bump from outside. I knew by that a showcase was no more. "'Zeke! yells Hadds, 'think of somethin' before that woman has us all in.
They are always in fashion. You will not make any mistake, I am sure, in selecting them." He held up several strings to the light, that Robert might see how beautiful they were. "I would like to look at your brooches." While the goldsmith was taking them from the showcase, he glanced at the pictures on the walls, printed from plates which Mr. Revere had engraved.
She thought of the women and children in the houses on the hill and when she heard of the plans of the mining company to evict the miners from their houses she shuddered. "I was the wife of a miner and I will stick to them," she thought. One day the mine manager came into the bakery. He leaned over the showcase and talked to Nance. The son went and stood by his mother's side to listen.
Dorothy was at the back of the store making purchases. Bartley watched her a moment. He felt a tug at his sleeve. "The guns is over on this side," declared Little Jim. "We'll have to wait until Mr. Hodges gets through waiting on Miss Gray," said Bartley. Little Jim scampered across the aisle and stood on tiptoe peering into a showcase. There were pistols, cheap watches, and a pair of spurs.
Several clerks, for example, were behind the gem counters but the boy soon discovered that when they wished an expert opinion they with one accord turned to a stumpy little fellow with a bald head who appeared to know every stone in the showcase by heart and knew just what country it came from; whether it was well cut; if it was perfect or marred by flaws; whether it was a tinge off the desired color, and numerous other facts concerning it.
As though he thought at any moment it might explode, he held it from him, and eyed it fearfully. Mrs. Farrell was of a more sophisticated type. The lines in her face and hands showed that for years she might have known hard physical work. But her dress was in the latest fashion, and her fingers held more diamonds than, out of a showcase, I ever had seen.
Well, talk it over with P. C. I reckon you can get together. So long, me boy." Not until he was safe in the street did the big boss of Verden allow his satisfaction expression. "We've got him! We've got the boob hooked!" he told himself exultantly. A little man standing behind a showcase was watching him tensely.
The jeweller made a salam, and muttered some unintelligible words of which Potemkin took no notice. "I saw a magnificent service of gold yesterday in your showcase." "It is an order, your highness," said Artankopf, quickly. "Then I cannot buy it?" "Impossible, your highness." "Then I order one exactly like it, above all in weight. The statuettes which ornament that service are exquisitely moulded.
