I wouldn't have him sleep in that old packing-box. There are little wicker cradles at the store I saw them last week they don't cost much, and you could bring one up in the carriage. There's the other baby, crying, and I don't know where Pomona is. Just you mind him a minute, please!" and out she ran. I looked out of the window. The horse still stood harnessed to the carriage, as I had left him.
It seemed that he ought to have been smoking a white cigar. As a matter of fact, he had sat so still that half the weed was ash. When the two moved to greet Jim there was a mighty creaking of wicker. There was another when Jim spilled his own great weight into a chair. A steward in white raised his eyebrows inquiringly and Jim nodded the eighth of an inch.
The flight of Rozier and d'Arlandes inspired two members of the Philadelphia Philosophical Academy to construct a balloon or series of balloons of their own design; they made a machine which consisted of no less than 47 small hydrogen balloons attached to a wicker car, and made certain preliminary trials, using animals as passengers.
There were gray rugs and gray walls, some old mahogany, the snuff-box picture of Napoleon over his desk, a dog-basket of brown wicker in a corner. Muffin, Derry's Airedale, stood at attention as his master came in. He knew that the length of his sojourn depended on his manners. A bright fire was burning, a long chair slanted across the hearthrug.
There are seventy-three shops, by actual count, containing everything that could be imagined or desired by a pretty lady, whether for her body, or for that vague stream of emotion she calls her "soul".

Dagobert, entering one of these stables, took from off a chest the portion of oats destined for his horse, and, pouring it into a winnowing basket, shook it as he approached Jovial. To his great astonishment, his old travelling companion did not respond with a joyous neigh to the rustle of the oats rattling on the wicker work.
Their owners take good care of them and endeavor to keep them in good condition for fighting. In the market places we see these fowls in wicker coops. Many venders of food and other articles have game-cocks tied by strings to their stools and stations.
You, your own self; what do you think about it? But forgive me for heckling. Won't you sit down? Or will you come into the study? Aunt is in there." We went into the study, a cheerful, bright room, with low wicker chairs, and a big, littered writing-table. "Mr. Mordan doesn't believe it," said Constance Grey, when I had shaken hands with her aunt.
His mother had done her best to spoil him, yet the child showed plainly that there was in him the material for a sturdy, strong character. When Charlotte had made several small purchases at the market, she did not offer to give Randolph the little wicker basket she carried, but the boy took it from her with a smile and a proud air.
When he was sufficiently awake, Annixter thrust his feet into a pair of wicker slippers, and shuffled across the office adjoining his bedroom, to the bathroom just beyond, and stood under the icy shower a few minutes, his teeth chattering, fulminating oaths at the coldness of the water.
