When our gentlemen entered, the floor was occupied by two females and their gallants, who, in the performance of their exercise, lifted their legs like so many oxen at plough and the pipe of one of those hoppers happening to be exhausted, in the midst of his saraband, he very deliberately drew forth his tobacco-box, filling and lighting it again, without any interruption to the dance.
Then a pedlar, known in the neighbourhood as Toddy Mack, deposed that he had given Magennis a steel tobacco-box with the letters "P. M." punched on it.
"'Twas bred in the bone in him, the varmint, and the Gallows Fever will come out in the flesh. My tobacco-box to a tester an' he dance not on nothing if he comes to holding up his hand before Judge Blackcap, that never spared but one in the Calendar, and then 'twas by Mistake."
That I have been put incessantly to my trumps to keep them safe and sound now warding off with my single pen the shower of dastard blows that fell upon thy rear now narrowly shielding thee from a deadly thrust by a mere tobacco-box now casing thy dauntless skull with adamant, when even thy stubborn ram beaver failed to resist the sword of the stout Risingh and now, not merely bringing thee off alive, but triumphant, from the clutches of the gigantic Swede, by the desperate means of a paltry stone pottle?
He saw Nelly M'Gowan, as we may still call her, thrusting something under the thatch of the cabin, and feeling a kind of curiosity to ascertain what it could be, he seized the first opportunity of examining, and finding a tobacco-box, he put it in his pocket, and thought himself extremely fortunate in securing it, for reasons which the reader will immediately understand.

What share did the Bekjí take?" "He took the ring and the tobacco-box and the money, for he was the stronger," answered the Lala. "Selim," said Balsamides quietly, "before the Khanum died to-night she said that Alexander Patoff was alive. If so, you are lying. You are a greater liar than Moseylama, the false prophet, as they say in your country. But if not, you are a robber of dead bodies.
Were he a less reserved man I should make some remark upon the subject. Of the other things in his cabin there was nothing worthy of mention uniform coats, a camp-stool, small looking-glass, tobacco-box, and numerous pipes, including an oriental hookah which, by-the-bye, gives some colour to Mr. Milne's story about his participation in the war, though the connection may seem rather a distant one.
Like this, wasn't it? He accompanied the following stave with a dexterous clog-step on the floor of the cab: 'There was an old nigger, and he had a wooden leg. He had no tobacco, no tobacco could he beg. Another old nigger was as cunning as a fox, And he always had tobacco in his old tobacco-box. 'Now for the chorus! 'Yes, he always had tobacco in his old tobacco-box. 'But you're not singing.
He began muttering once again that name of "Mary," which had been often on his lips lately; and quickened his pace mechanically, as it was always his habit to do when anything vexed or disturbed him.
