Not many minutes probably, yet they had not seemed few, and they had given her so much to think of, not only while creeping home, but while waiting afterwards at the inn, that she was still busy with them when, late in the afternoon, Milly reappeared. She had stopped at the point of the path where the Tauchnitz lay, had taken it up and, with the pencil attached to her watch-guard, had scrawled a word
A huge white muslin stock with a conspicuous bow, invented by some exquisite to charm "the charming sex" in 1809, projected so far above the wearer's chin that the lower part of his face was lost, as it were, in a muslin abyss. A silk watch-guard, plaited to resemble the keepsakes made of hair, meandered down the shirt front and secured his watch from the improbable theft.
Athel the elder; he plays with his watch-guard, and is clearly in hearty mood, not at all disliking the things that are being said about a certain member of the legislature.
A fellow-passenger had informed me whether rightly or wrongly I knew not and cared not that watches, jewellery, and guns, were among the taxable articles. Knowing that my portmanteau contained no such articles, except a brass watch-guard, I presented myself to the official with an air of conscious innocence.
Lord Dymchurch reflected, playing, as he commonly did, with a seal upon his watch-guard. "That's suggestive," he said. Dyce might have gone on to say that the suggestion, with reference to this very book of Herbert Spencer's, came from a French sociologist he had been reading; but it did not seem to him worth while. "You look upon the State as an organism," pursued Lord Dymchurch.
"I understand that I love mamma, and will not have this wicked woman in her place," said Leam hotly. "I think you will," he answered, playing with his watch-guard. "And in the future, my little daughter, you will thank me." "Thank you? For what?" asked Leam. "You made mamma miserable when she lived: you and your madame helped to kill her, and now you put this woman in her place!
"Here you are!" cried Meta Rivers, springing to meet them. "Good girls, to come early. Where's my little Daisy?" "Coming in good time," said Ethel. "How pretty it all looks!" "But where's Flora? where's my watch-guard?" anxiously asked Blanche. "She was here just now," said Meta, looking round. "What a genius she is, Ethel!
Tom's most well now, and got his bullet around his neck on a watch-guard for a watch, and is always seeing what time it is, and so there ain't nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of it, because if I'd a knowed what a trouble it was to make a book I wouldn't a tackled it, and ain't a-going to no more.
Do you swear that the scarab was not hanging from his watch-guard?" "Yes, I do." "Did you notice the watch-guard particularly?" "No, not particularly." "Then what makes you so sure that the scarab was not attached to it?" "It couldn't have been." "Why could it not?" "Because if it had been there I should have seen it." "What kind of a watch-guard was Mr. Bellingham wearing?"
Our new friend, it seems, had himself been a prominent racing bicyclist a few years back, and was presently, at Hewitt's request, exhibiting a neat gold medal that hung at his watch-guard. That was won, he explained, in the old tall bicycle days, the days of bad tracks, when every racing cyclist carried cinder scars on his face from numerous accidents.
