And while she pretended to read she played with the pearl necklace she wore. It was one shade with the white of her beautiful throat. "Who gave you those pearls?" She made no answer, but her hand dropped a little consciously. He had given them to her that afternoon, remarking, with rather questionable taste, that they were "a wedding-present for the second Mrs. Nevill Tyson."
This sum is mine; but a Duc de Soria cannot marry without a large expenditure of money, therefore we will divide it. You will not refuse this wedding-present from your brigand brother. Besides, I mean to have it so. The barony of Macumer, not being Spanish territory, remains to me. Thus I have still a country and a name, should I wish to take up a position in the world again.
"By George! it's Noddle!" exclaimed Hare. "He's climbed out of the canyon. Won't this please Mescal?" "Hey, Mother Mary," called Naab toward the cabin. "Send Mescal out. Here's a wedding-present." With laughing wonder the women-folk flocked out into the yard. Mescal hung back shy-eyed, roses dyeing the brown of her cheeks. "Mescal's wedding-present from Thunder River.
This one's about a girl. You might give it to Mary Ellen North for a wedding-present." The parson had grown almost gay under the vivifying influence of memory. But Mary Ellen did not smile. "Yes," she repeated softly, "I remember." "And then I laughed a little, and got out of the study the best way I could, and ran over to you to tell you what he said. And I left the sermon in your work-basket.
I present to you this small piece of information as a wedding-present, which, if adroitly handled, may add to the harmony of domestic life. And if by any chance he should have conceived the dastardly, the immoral idea of deserting you in favor of some mercenary marriage of which I rather suspect him you will find this piece of information invaluable in restoring his allegiance at once.
When encouraged by the lady's coquetry, he first formed his plans; he imagined that a promise of a wedding-present would easily secure her governess: but this was a slight mistake; avarice happened not to be the ruling, or, at least at this time, the reigning passion of mademoiselle's mind; and quickly perceiving his error, he paid assiduous court to her vanity.
"Don't you want the picture?" "What are you going to do with it?" "Give it to you, I guess. For a wedding-present, Mary." "You mustn't say those things," said Mary, gravely. She went on working, but her face was serious. "It's queer, isn't it," remarked Wilmer, after a pause, "this notion you've got that Marshby's the only one that could possibly do?

Tell the boss exactly how it happened, and say that I thought it was up to Geisenheimer's to give them a wedding-present. He clicked for a spell. 'Ah! he said. 'Ah! now you've done it! Now you've given yourself away! You did it on purpose. You mixed those tickets on purpose. I thought as much.
"That's more than I can tell you, ma'am. It lay on the floor in my room two nights back, and I picked it up. Well, if it ain't yourn, and I can't find no owner, it'ull do as a wedding-present for Bet." He slipped the purse again into his pocket and made off.
