"And that child, sir?" said the mother, wistfully, forgetting the dread fiat pronounced against herself, "he is so delicate!" "Not at all, ma'am, a very fine little fellow;" and the doctor patted the boy's head, and abruptly vanished.
He seemed so much larger than she had expected; from his knee to his high shining white collar was an immense distance and midway there was a thick gold watch-chain rising and falling as he breathed. He smelt very faintly of tooth-powder. But on the whole she was comfortable; only the thin gold ring round her finger felt strange.
A kind of hooded cap of red velvet completed the costume of this personage, who wore excellent furred slippers. Although the fashion of wearing trinkets was over, the golden watch-chain sustained a goodly number of fine gold seals and rings.
He wore upon his watch-chain a small gold medallion, a trinket which had attracted my attention before. It was about the size of a sovereign, and embossed upon it were several heads of chubby cupids four sweet little faces. At first glance at him a woman might have said mentally, "What nice eyes!"
Van Blaricom, who wore a long gold watch-chain, now took it off and offered it to the chief, motioning him to put it round his neck.

He seemed to take a fancy to Rupert from the fust, and in a few minutes he 'ad given 'im a big cigar out of a sealskin case and ordered 'im a glass of sherry wine.
And Major White paused in this great conversational effort to consult a small gold compass attached to his watch-chain. The two women waited patiently. "Fine place, these Dunes," said the major, after a pause. "Could conceal three thousand men between here and Scheveningen." "But it is not a question of hiding soldiers," said Mrs.
No I don't mean to use it on your step-father. I'll have your pretty ears mummified and wear them on my watch-chain. No mind my spectacles! Let me go. I daresay it won't come to anything." "Do you really mean you'd take me?" "I'd take you fast enough, but I wouldn't keep you. We must find a dragon to guard the Princess.
Her little gold pencil-case hung with the other toys at her watch-chain. After looking about her for a moment, she knelt over her husband and put her hand into the breast-pocket of his coat. His pocket-book was there. Some papers fell from it as she unfastened the clasp. One of them was the letter which had come to him from Mr. Brock's death-bed.
