The station after Monaco: Monte Carlo darling place! But the principality begins at Monaco of course. I told you how I stayed three days before I went to England. Almost everybody who lands at Marseilles wants to run on to Monte for a flutter, in season or out." Miss Wardropp put away a novel, and dusted a little powder over her face, with the aid of a gold vanity-box.
She had dropped her vanity-box in the car, and as they both stooped for it his cheek had brushed hers. He laughed lightly and apologized forgetting it the next second. Eight hours later she dared remember it, like any schoolgirl. Small wonder that she glanced about to make sure the room was empty. It sent her to bed shamefaced.
The phrase was even taken up by the paragraph writer, called forth excited letters from similarly situated victims, was commented on in humorous editorials and served as a text for pulpit denunciations of the growing craze for wealth; and finally, at his dentist's, Ralph came across it in a Family Weekly, as one of the "Heart problems" propounded to subscribers, with a Gramophone, a Straight-front Corset and a Vanity-box among the prizes offered for its solution.
Sharlee completed at her leisure her conference with the vanity-box; snapped the trinket shut; and, rising, rang the bell again. This time she required a glass of water for her good comfort. She drank it slowly, watching herself in the mantel mirror as she did so, and setting down the glass, took a new survey of her whole effect, this time in a long-distance view. "Now, Mr. Queed!"

This was a bitter blow to all of us after we'd been led to hope for outrages of an illegal character.

They was all out in front except the butler, who lurked in the entry looking like he'd passed a night of grief at the new-made grave of his mother.
"What every woman carries in such a bag. Handkerchief, some small change, perhaps a vanity-box, gloves, tickets whatever would be needed on an afternoon's calling or shopping tour." "Miss Lloyd, you have enumerated almost exactly the articles in this bag." "Then that is a coincidence, for it is not my bag." The girl was entirely self-possessed again, and even a little aggressive.
But this survey did not suffice for details, it seemed; a more minute examination was needed; over the floor she trailed with leisurely grace, and rang the bell. "Oh, Mary my vanity-box, please. On the dressing-table." Seating herself under the lamp, she produced from the contrivance the tiniest little mirror ever seen.
Edward, I am a miserable wretch, but I shall follow you wherever you go, and I haven't even a vanity-box in my hand-bag!" There were tears in her eyes. "Say that I am a wretch!" He drew her up beside him. His arms closed around her so hungrily, so strongly, that she gasped a little.
