All the little niceties of the dining-room and the sitting-room the American kitchen utensils which to Joan seemed marvellous and beautiful, the snowy curtains at every window, the white-handled knives and the plated silver all these things held joys and surprises and never-ending interest to the happy mother.
Some time after this a peddler came by one day and stopped to show his things to the boys, several of whom bought pocket-combs, jew's-harps, and various trifles of that sort. Among the knives was a little white-handled penknife that Lewis wanted very much, but he had spent all his pocket-money, and no one had any to lend him.
He recognized the group leader of the Radical-Socialists the masks were too small to be more than token disguises and beckoned to him, at the same time walking toward his 'copter. The man in black with the white-handled pistols followed him, spurs jingling. "Hello, Mr. Cardon," he said, joining him. "Nothing to it. We got a tip they were coming to sabotage Big Brother, over there.
"It was a small, white-handled knife, sir not one of the dinner knives, but one of the smaller ones." "Are you sure it was one of the knives you took upstairs last night?" "Quite sure, sir. We are very short of good cutlery, and I picked out this knife to put by the young gentleman's plate because it was a very good one.
Well, there were biscuit sure enough flour bread and sugar and coffee genuine Rio none of your rye or potato coffee, and butter regular butter and ham and eggs, and turnip greens, and potatoes, and fried chicken, and nice clean plates none of your tin affairs and a snow-white table-cloth and napkins, and white-handled knives and silver forks.
The room was divided into compartments in the approved manner, between which were screens of ground glass in mahogany framing, to prevent topers in one compartment being put to the blush by the recognitions of those in the next. On the inside of the counter two barmaids leant over the white-handled beer-engines, and the row of little silvered taps inside, dripping into a pewter trough.
He searched on this side, he searched on that; he pulled out the contents, one by one: a black-handled knife, a white-handled fork, a green-handled knife with a broken point, and a brown-handled fork with one prong, which comprised his household cutlery; a small whetstone, a comb and a blacking-brush, a gimlet and a small hammer, some leather shoe-strings, three or four tallow candles, a match-box and an extinguisher, the key of his door, the bolt of his casement window, and a few other miscellanies.
Across his face was a blue wheal where the whip had fallen, and in his hand a heavy white-handled knife which he always carried. "Hullo! what is all this?" said John, shouldering his way through the crowd. The latter avoided the blow by jumping behind John, with the result that the tip of the sjambock caught the Englishman on the leg.
It showed fragmentarily the stout ribs and planking in the hollow, empty part of the lighter. Decoud could see Nostromo standing up to pull. He saw him as high as the red sash on his waist, with a gleam of a white-handled revolver and the wooden haft of a long knife protruding on his left side. Decoud nerved himself for the effort of rowing.
A white-handled case-knife, presumably that used to cut Nanny Price's throat, was seen on a table by the three women who, with Sarah herself, were first on the scene of the murder. It disappeared later, and it is to be surmised that Sarah Malcolm managed to get it out of the room unseen. But to the last moment possible Sarah tried to get her three friends involved with her.
