"He never knows how much there is in his trousers-pocket.
Then, thrusting the letter into his trousers-pocket, he fixed upon Kenelm a very brilliant pair of dark eyes, which soon dropped before the steadfast look of that saturnine adventurer. "Are you in the confidence of the writer of this letter?" asked Mr. Compton, rather confusedly. "I am not the confidant of the writer," answered Kenelm, "but for the time being I am the protector!"

Robert Lefroy as he said this put his left hand into his trousers-pocket over the notes which he had placed there, and drew a small revolver out of his pocket with the other hand.

Eva, my dear," said Mr. Rentoul; "if you're wanting the money badly, and your papa doesn't see his way " He concluded his sentence with a wink and a dive into his trousers-pocket, and a minute later Eva had fled from the room again.
"As punctual as ever," he repeated, coming up to us. Shall I give you a ride, Miss Havisham? I told him when I had arrived, and how Miss Havisham had wished me to come and see Estella. To which he replied, "Ah! Very fine young lady!" Then he pushed Miss Havisham in her chair before him, with one of his large hands, and put the other in his trousers-pocket as if the pocket were full of secrets.
Such a time had arrived in the experience of Mr John Webster. He had obtained a glimpse of himself in his true colours, and the sight had filled him with dismay. He thought, as he sat in the old chair in the old office, of the wasted life that was behind him, and the little of life that lay, perchance, before. His right hand, from long habit, fumbled with the coin in his trousers-pocket.
'I don't mind tellin' you, Godwin, pursued Andrew presently, in a cautious voice, laying an open hand against his trousers-pocket, 'as I've been a-doin' pretty good business lytely. Been growin' a bit see? I'm runnin' round an' keepin' my heyes open understand?
