Bently, of Chicago! the Mrs. Bent, of Boston; Mrs. Vanderbeck and Mrs. Walton, of New York; and the woman in St. Louis, who gave bail for the rascally miner, who tried to dispose of the unset solitaires. Fortunately those have been proven to be mine and returned to me; but where are the rest of the stones?
"I have seen quite enough of this very entertaining exhibition," she said languidly, toying with a great unset emerald which swung by a thin gold chain about her neck. "Might I entreat you to take pity upon a very lonely woman and return with me to tea?" Annesley seemed on the point of refusing, when: "I have acquired a reputed Leonardo," continued Madame, "and I wish you to see it."
Once, in the early days of his kingship, Arthur was walking on a craggy hill, when he came upon the skeleton of a man who had once been a ruler. The skull still wore a gold crown set with nine large diamonds. King Arthur took the crown and had the diamonds unset. Each year at the friendly tournament he gave one of these diamonds as a prize.
"This stone resembles that on the hanging to a hair; and yet it has a little inequality which I do not remember noticing on it. It is true I had never seen it out of the setting, and this little boss may have been turned towards the stuff, and yet, and yet. Tell me, goldsmith, did the thief give you the emerald bare unset?" "As bare as Adam and Eve before they ate the apple," said the Jew.
He found it very light, and quite lost hope; but when the good woman was out of doors, he opened it to see what was inside, and found there a great number of precious stones, some set, others unset. Having some knowledge of such matters, he saw at a glance that the stones were of great value; wherefore, feeling that he was still not forsaken by God, he praised His name, and quite recovered heart.
"I didn't know there were so many presents in the world!" said Marjorie, who sat blissfully on an ottoman, with her lap full of lovely things, and more on the floor beside her. Grandma had brought her an unset pearl. This was not a surprise, for Grandma had given her a pearl every Christmas of her life, and when the time came for her to wear them, they were to be made into a necklace.
"Yes," said Maria again, "I wish that you may succeed " here she slipped her hand in the belt of her gown and drew out a little chamois bag attached to her watch, "and for an omen, here is the opal you gave me you give it a happy interpretation and one is very apt to lose an unset stone, you know!"
"And you never got the money?" asked Whopper. "Not a dollar of it." "It's queer you never spoke about this before," said Snap. "Well, mother doesn't like to speak of it, because she doesn't want folks to know we had a crazy man in our family. But Uncle Pierre wasn't really crazy -he was only queer -and that lightning bolt burning up his beloved manuscripts unset him completely."
Indeed, I wasn't supposed to know anything about it. Maybe I was mistaken " His look and voice were so pitiful that Pauline replied reassuringly: "I understand I'll say nothing. Please show me those," and she pointed to a tray of unset rubies in the show-case.
One, and the largest, was filled with rouleaux of coin, packed as closely as possible. The others contained jewels, set and unset diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires which flashed back the flickering flame of the candle with glintings of rainbow light. 'These are all for her all all, exclaimed the old man. 'They are worth a prince's ransom. Those rouleaux are all gold; those gems are priceless.
