However, Ann never meditated in earnest, taking the indentures; indeed, the desk was always locked it held other documents more valuable than hers and Samuel Wales carried the key in his waistcoat-pocket. She went to a dame's school three months every year. Samuel Wales carted half a cord of wood to pay for her schooling, and she learned to write and read in the New England Primer.
Neither made anything, or sold anything, or had a card in his waistcoat-pocket ready for production at a moment's notice, setting forth name and address and trade. Neither was to be suspected of a desire to repel advances, and yet both were difficult to get on with. For human confidences must be mutual.
"Upon my word," said Prasville, airily, patting the waistcoat-pocket in which he had secreted the crystal ball, "I don't quite see what you can do, M. Nicole, now that Daubrecq's eye is here, with the list of the Twenty-seven inside it." "What I can do?" echoed M. Nicole, ironically. "Yes!
In his right waistcoat-pocket we found a prodigious bundle of white thin substances, folded one over another, about the bigness of three men, tied with a strong cable, and marked with black figures; which we humbly conceive to be writings, every letter almost half as large as the palm of our hands.
Then the Countess Gilda addressed herself squarely to Indiman. "I am in your debt, Mr. Indiman, and you must permit me to discharge the obligation. My dear uncle, your purse." Indiman bowed and accepted the fifty-dollar bill tendered him. "Now we are quits," she said, smiling. "Not quite," he answered, hardily. He drew a half-dollar from his waistcoat-pocket and offered it to her.
The steward's wrath rose at the performance, and he glowered back at him until his eyes watered. "Twenty past six," said Mr. Smith, suddenly, as he fumbled in his waistcoat-pocket and drew out a small folded paper. "It's time I made a start. I s'pose you've got some salt in the house?" "Plenty," said Mr. Wilks. "And beer?" inquired the other. "Yes, there is some beer," said the steward.
Barbara is standing by the tea-table, thin and willowy, a tea-caddy in one hand, and a spoon in the other, ladling tea into the deep-bodied pot a spoonful for each person and one for the pot. "I will draw you up a list of subjects to be avoided," says Algy, drawing his chair to the table, and pulling a pencil out of his waistcoat-pocket.
The Prince also rose, but he went forward to the group of Italians, and spoke to them for a few minutes. If he did not like that sort of music, he took the more excellent way, for the action of his elbow indicated a movement of his hand towards his waistcoat-pocket.
He opened it and pulled out a photograph, which he tore to bits, and then trampled underfoot. "There, Margery, there's a locket for you; you can throw it into the fire, or do anything you like with it. And I wish you many happy returns of the day." And he finally fastened it round my neck with his Trichinopoli watch-chain, leaving his watch loose in his waistcoat-pocket.
"Look at his face, for heaven's sake, before you put him down!" But Mat was not to be moved by this appeal. All the attention his eyes could spare during those few moments, was devoted, not to Mr. Blyth's face but to Mr. Blyth's watch-chain. There hung the bright little key of the painter's bureau, dangling jauntily to and fro over his waistcoat-pocket.
