I put out all the little instruments for cleanliness and comfort which it contained: a nailbrush, a new toothbrush for I always carry a selection of them about with me my nail-scissors, a nail-file, and sponges. I uncorked a bottle of eau de cologne, one of lavender-water, and a little bottle of new-mown hay, so that she might have a choice.
His uniform was worn and ragged, mud-stained as well as blood-stained; the cap which had fallen from his head was a tatter, and the torn shoes were ready to drop from his stiffening feet; but in a buttonhole of his tunic was stuck the inevitable toothbrush, which continued even to the end of the war to be the distinguishing mark of gentle nurture, the souvenir that the Confederate so often received from fair sympathizers in border towns.
That toothbrush had disappeared two days before and the tent had been turned upside down in a vain search for it. Katherine pounced upon the truant toilet article gleefully. "Look in your other shoe," she begged Jean, "and see if you can find my fountain pen. That's missing too." Jean obligingly shook out her shoe, but no pen came to light.
"I'd love it," she fell in eagerly. "We'll just play gypsy." "Right. Now, what you want to do is to throw into a dress-suitcase a few things, and we'll ship the trunks by rail to Nice. All you need is a toothbrush, a change of socks, and " "There's Marie," she interrupted. "Can't we ship her by rail too?" "No, Monte," she answered, with a decided shake of her head.
We were searched at unexpected times going out to work or coming in at meal-times or at bedtime. The following day Sunday we sat around with our saddest, most dejected air, like two men in whose hearts all hope had died. We had everything ready razor, tobacco, matches, toffee tin, toothbrush, comb, pocket-knife, watch, soap, strong safety-pins, and some strong string.
I had carefully committed to memory the French equivalents for all the articles on our shopping list a pot of honey, a bottle of Benedictine, a pair of unmentionable garments for Lawson, and a toothbrush so that I walked across the main square with a proud mien and an easy conscience. Pride, they tell us, comes before a fall.
My toothbrush is a thing that haunts me when I'm traveling, and makes my life a misery. I dream that I haven't packed it, and wake up in a cold perspiration, and get out of bed and hunt for it.
Very well, she would slip away now and see if she could stay all night with the Cobbs and be off next morning before breakfast. Rebecca never stopped long to think, more 's the pity, so she put on her oldest dress and hat and jacket, then wrapped her nightdress, comb, and toothbrush in a bundle and dropped it softly out of the window.
My particular private was carrying a double allowance of socks, handkerchiefs, and underwear. He had a toothbrush and comb. That is the heavy marching order knapsack. For light marching, which is the usual manner, the man begins by spreading on the ground his half-tent, which is about the size of a traveling rug.
As he passed I leaned from the window and threw a rosebud at him. But he did not see it. Then I threw a cake of soap and a toothbrush at him. But I missed him, and he passed on. Another Day. Love has come into my life. It fills it. I have seen HIM again. I have spoken with him. He sat beside the river on his camp stool.
