He had hired a boy, when he landed, to carry his cloak and valises. The saddle and bridle he had sold with the horse. He was, as usual, passing the sentries at the gate without notice, when one of them stepped in front of him. "What is your business, sir?" "My business is with Marshal Keith," he said, "and it is particular." The sentry called a sergeant of the guard.
It was a long and weary night for them. At half-past six in the morning they were informed that the gates were open and that people could now enter Antibes. They set out for the city, but failed to find their abandoned valises on the road.
"Quite so." "Perhaps for a stay of some duration?" "Quite so, indeed, Henri." "Then, sir," expostulated the Swiss, "it would require a day or so for me to properly arrange your luggage." "Not at all," replied Law. "Two valises will suffice, not more, and I shall perhaps not need even these." "Not all the apparel, the many coats, the jewels " "Do not trouble over them."
There only remained four hours before the boat's departure, and Ulysses, after collecting his valises and sending them aboard, took a last stroll through all the places where he had lived with Freya. Adieu, gardens of the Villa Nazionale and white Aquarium!... Farewell, albergo!... His son's mysterious presence in Naples had intensified his disgust at the German girl's flight.

In many instances officers had forgotten to take their valises and trunks with them, and Union soldiers strutted about in the garb of rebel brigadiers and colonels.
From their canvas bags which served them for valises, they unpacked their regulation suits, worn when they were working on the freight steamers, on the schooners plying to Newfoundland, or on the simple coasting smacks. The galley at certain hours was full of men listening to the old cook.
Count Westphal sent invitations far and wide to call his hunting friends together. Before the arrival of the Duke, carriage after carriage entered the courtyard; oceans of fur-coats, gun-cases, valises, bags, and fur-lined rugs were thrown about in the hall, to be sorted out afterward.
And as the trip itself is what you want to hear about, and especially what happened on it, I'll skip the getting ready and go right on with the story. Trunks and valises were packed, Dinah and Sam were told what to do while the Bobbseys were away, and the children reminded the colored cook and her husband to be sure to feed Snap and Snoop plenty of things the dog and cat liked.
