"Well, well, sister mine," said the matter-of-fact Kate, going to a small cupboard and producing an ample work-box that served for both, "whatever mysteries may surround us, it is our business to fulfil our engagements, so we will at once begin our knitting of cuffs and comforters for the fishermen of the North Sea."
She had loved with all her heart, and her heart was broken; it was withered, like the handful of dried roses in the secret drawer of her work-box. Elizabeth was fortunate enough to obtain at the outset the patronage of some of those same "best people" in the adjacent city, who happened to know her story. Fashionable favor grows apace. It was only after hearing that Mrs.
"Good-by, sir," says Emily, struggling up with all her might among the bundles in the bottom of the cart; "good-by, and thank you again for the work-box and the sugar-plums."

After a little while, I asked her if she had seen him; she replied in the affirmative without further remarks. Her work-box lay upon the sofa, upon which she had been seated, and I put the note in it without being perceived.

For my part I niver travel without my work-box in my pocket." "Your work-box!" said Martin, laughing. "Jist so. An' it consists of wan sailmaker's needle, a ball o' twine, and a clasp-knife.

"Do you think she is sorry for what she has done?" asked the Judge anxiously from his wife, as he saw Eva's hot tears falling on the work-box; "but it cannot be helped. She marry! and that too with Munter! She is indeed nothing but a child!
Her father frequently lifted her to his knee; she would sit there till she felt or fancied he grew restless; then it was "Papa, put me down; I shall tire you with my weight." And the mighty burden slid to the rug, and establishing itself on carpet or stool just at "papa's" feet, the white work-box and the scarlet-speckled handkerchief came into play.
When you wish to use it moisten one end in the mouth, and rub it on any substance you wish to join; a piece kept in the work-box is very convenient." Chambers.
