I produced the four mejîdis from a trouser-pocket, and, receiving them, he went back to the door by which the usher stood, and whispered to the man, who went inside a moment and came back with the private secretary of the Caïmmacâm. The compliments which passed between them seemed to me interminable.
The docker looked over his shoulder agin, and then 'e put his 'and in his trouser-pocket and just showed 'em a big, fat gold locket with diamonds stuck all over it. Then he shoved it back in 'is pocket, while Sam's pal was giving 'im a pinch worse than wot the other was. "It's the one," he ses, in a whisper. "Let's 'ave another look at it," he ses to the docker.
Dowson appeared to have forgotten the arrangement made the night before, and, being reminded by her daughter, questioned whether any good could come of attempts to peer into the future. Mr. Dowson was still more emphatic, but his objections, being recognized by both ladies as trouser-pocket ones, carried no weight.
'Well, well, said the Mole, moving towards the supper-table; 'supposing you talk while I eat. Not a bite since breakfast! O my! O my! And he sat down and helped himself liberally to cold beef and pickles. Toad straddled on the hearth-rug, thrust his paw into his trouser-pocket and pulled out a handful of silver. 'Look at that! he cried, displaying it.
I have a vivid recollection of riding in hot haste on a rake to tell the King not in proper fairy fashion that the skies were fallen, but that Lord Turkey of Henhouse was dead. John, I remember, always carried some fern seed in his trouser-pocket. He said it made him invisible a delusion I loyally supported.
He waited, as it seemed, an interminable time. Was the thing coming on again? He felt in his trouser-pocket for some matches, and found one remaining. He tried to strike this, but the floor was wet, and it spat and went out. He cursed. He could not see where the door was situated. In his struggle he had quite lost his bearings.
"You've lost your bet," she said, pointedly. "I know," was the reply. His gaiety had vanished and he looked so dejected that Miss Drewitt was reminded of the ruined gambler in a celebrated picture. She tried to quiet her conscience by hoping that it would be a lesson to him. As she watched, Mr. Tredgold dived into his left trouser-pocket and counted out some coins, mostly brown.
He was flushed, and his eyes had a decidedly quarrelsome stare as he stood still grasping his pitchfork, while the landlord approached with his easy shuffling walk, one hand in his trouser-pocket and the other swinging round a thin walking-stick. "Dagley, my good fellow," began Mr. Brooke, conscious that he was going to be very friendly about the boy.
"While they was purtending to dry me and patting me all over they must 'ave taken it out of my pocket." "Wot are you talking about?" ses George, staring at me. "The box 'as gorn," I ses, putting down the 'ot rum and feeling in my trouser-pocket. "The box 'as gorn, and them two must 'ave taken it." "Gorn!" ses George. "Gorn! My box with twenty-five pounds in, wot I trusted you with, gorn?
I can assure you that I personally shall not hesitate to risk if one can call it risking any loose cash which I may have lying idle at my banker's." He rattled the loose cash which he had lying idle in his trouser-pocket fifteen cents in all and stopped to flick a piece of fluff off his coat-sleeve. Mr Pilkington was thus enabled to insert a word. "How much would you want?" he enquired.
