"I will try," said Cornish, writing two words in German on the corner of his visiting-card. "You see," he continued, noticing a well-trained glance, "that I am not dressed, so if other visitors arrive, I would rather not be discovered in madame's salon, you understand?" Mrs.
After last night's affair, it would make a most deplorable impression. Gilbert must pay his debt to-morrow morning." The messenger had, at the same time, handed Prasville a visiting-card. Prasville now looked at it, gave a start and muttered: "Well, I'm hanged! What a nerve!" "What's the matter?" asked the prefect of police.
Dear me why, nobody knows who the man was!" "Except his bank-manager," remarked Bryce, "who says he's holding ten thousand pounds of his." "That," admitted Mrs. Folliot gravely, "is certainly a consideration. But then, who knows? the money may have been stolen. Now, really, did you ever hear of a quite respectable man who hadn't even a visiting-card or a letter upon him?
One little white object varied the grim brown monotony of the empty table. It was a visiting-card. With a child's unceremonious curiosity Lucy pounced on the card, and spelled the name, letter by letter: "Z, A, N, T," she repeated. "What does that mean?" Her father looked at the card, as he took it away from her, and put it back on the table.
They were discussing this discovery and its possible significance when Smith entered, bearing a lady's visiting-card, which he silently handed to his master. Brett read the name inscribed thereon.

Thinking that Henrietta might possibly occupy a room on the same floor with him, on the same side of the house, that he might even be separated from her only by a partition-wall, he felt like cursing Papa Ravinet, when there came a knock at the door. "Come in!" he cried. A waiter appeared, and handed him a visiting-card, on which was written, "Mrs. Bertolle, third story. No. 5."
She rushed for a little box which she had converted into a sort of reliquary. She took out of it the half-burned cigarette, the old glove, the withered violets, and a visiting-card with his name, on which three unimportant lines had been written.
But that reality was a part of her spectator's joy, and she was not changed back to the common by his perception of the magnificent trick of art with which it was connected. Before his kinsman rejoined him Peter, taking a visiting-card from his pocket, had written on it in pencil a few words in a foreign tongue; but as at that moment he saw Nick coming in he immediately put it out of view.
"To play the Sarasate alone to you?" he asked. "That's it-at nine o'clock to-night, if you can." "I will come yes, I will come," Jethro answered, the lids drooping over his eyes in which were the shadows of the first murder of the created world. "Here is my address, then." Ingolby wrote something on his visiting-card. "My man'll let you in, if you show that. Well, good-bye."
I had come to pay a morning visit, and I stopped on more than a fortnight. The Hungarian has a particularly pleasant way of greeting a stranger under his own roof. He gives you the idea that he has been expecting you, though in reality your existence and name were unknown to him till he read the letter or the visiting-card with which you have just presented him.
