Viewed from the railway, it has not a very picturesque appearance, a high, square ruin of what I suppose was the keep. At Abbotsford, treasured up in a glass case in the drawing-room, were memorials of Sir Walter Scott's servants and humble friends, for instance, a brass snuff-box of Tom Purdie, there, too, among precious relics of illustrious persons.
Ireland did not matter to him, Ireland was a speck Ned would like to have said, a chicken that the prelate would drop into the caldron which he was boiling for the cosmopolitan restaurant; but this would be an attack upon religion, it would be too direct to be easily understood by the audience, and as the words came to his lips he changed the phrase and said, "a pinch of snuff in the Roman snuff-box."
They have managed to procure witnesses who swear that you are a professional gamester, that it was you who seduced the three officers into the house of your countryman Peccini, that it is not true that your wine was drugged that you did not lose your watches nor your snuff-box, for, they say, these articles will be found in your mails when your goods are sold.
The balcony scene was interrupted by shrieks of laughter, for in the midst of one of Juliet's impassioned exclamations, Romeo quietly took out his snuff-box and applied a pinch to his nose; on this a wag in the gallery bawled out, "I say, Romeo, give us a pinch," when the impassioned lover, in the most affected manner, walked to the side boxes and offered the contents of his box first to the gentlemen, and then, with great gallantry, to the ladies.
His article, eloquent, luminous, profound, revealed the dark colours of the Austrian policy, as an artist's lamp brings out the murky tints of a Spagnoletto.

Madame Carolina crowned him with laurel in the midst of her coterie, and it is said that the Grand Duke sent him a snuff-box.
Our friend excites my passion by the flattering opinion that he entertains of you. I cannot decide whether I am more fortunate in my friend or in my lover, for I could not imagine any being superior to either one or the other." The case contained a gold snuff-box, and a small quantity of Spanish snuff which had been left in it proved that it had been used.
Every morning he received his tribute, eyeing it like a Nabob's prime minister, as he considers whether he will sign a pardon. Gobseck would take anything, from the present of game sent him by some poor devil or the pound's weight of wax candles from devout folk, to the rich man's plate and the speculator's gold snuff-box. Nobody knew what became of the presents sent to the old money-lender.
He told the driver to take us to my apartment and and that is the last I remember, except a scuffle in which I was dragged from the cab on one side and he on the other." She had opened her handbag and taken from it a little snuff-box, like that which we had seen in the den. "I I can't go on," she apologised, "without this stuff." "So you are a cocaine fiend, also?" remarked Kennedy.
"Here is your snuff-box," she said to the Cardinal. Afterwards, he shook it, opened it, and took a pinch of snuff. "Where did you find it?" he enquired. "It was found by that Mr. Marchdale," she said, "in the road, outside the gate. You must have let it drop this morning, when you were walking with Emilia." "That Mr. Marchdale?" exclaimed the Cardinal. "What a coincidence."
