She opened the package wondering if he had sent a doll, and also wondering what she should do with it if he had. But he had not sent one. There were several beautiful books such as Colin had, and two of them were about gardens and were full of pictures. There were two or three games and there was a beautiful little writing-case with a gold monogram on it and a gold pen and inkstand.
This was such a fine sentence that it was almost a comfort, and she thought of writing it to Maude Sefton, but as she got up to fetch her writing-case from the schoolroom, she saw that her books were standing just in the way she did not like, and with all the volumes mixed up together. So she tumbled them all out of the shelves on the floor, and at that moment Mrs. Halfpenny looked into the room.
Will you be so obliging I am not strong as to hand me that writing case?" Sir Francis walked to the table she indicated, which was at the far end of the great barn of a room, and taking the writing-case from it, gave it to her. She reached her keys from the stand at her elbow, unlocked the case, and took from it some bank-notes. "I received these from you a month ago," she said.
Hearing this, Arthur volunteered the loan of a traveling writing-case, which he said he had with him, and, bringing it to the bed, shook the note-paper out of the pocket of the case forthwith in his usual careless way. With the paper there fell out on the counterpane of the bed a small packet of sticking-plaster, and a little water-color drawing of a landscape.
It was too much for his well-bridled spirit. With a cry, full of horror, indignation and compassion, he dropped his writing-case and scroll, and, rushing forward, flung himself on his knees beside her, one arm about her, the other extended in supplication to the Pharaoh.
The Major put up his eyebrows when he heard of the expedition and went to The Boy's room, where he rummaged. Presently he came out and found me leaving cards on the Mess. There was no one else in the ante-room. He said: "The Boy has gone out shooting. DOES a man shoot tetur with a revolver and a writing-case?" I said: "Nonsense, Major!" for I saw what was in his mind.
As the steamer was running down the English Channel he wrote a letter to an old college friend just returning to England whom he had not seen for twenty years, and whom he was very sorry to miss: 'In answer to yours of November 19 I directed an envelope to you long ago. It has lain in my writing-case ever since, often seen but always taken precedence of by the thing that stepped in before.
You shall not couple my name with yours; and if you are going to ask Captain Horton down here, I advise you, to prevent mistakes, to inform him that I distinctly refuse to join you in the invitation." Fan, without replying, sat down before her writing-case. The other paused at the door, and after hesitating a few moments came back and put her hands on the girl's shoulder.
If we never meet again in the world, remember there is no thought in my heart of you that is not one of affection and gratitude. Her hand never trembled as she wrote this letter. She placed the key in it, folded, sealed, and addressed it. It was dark by this time. As she knelt to cord and lock her trunk, she espied the writing-case within it.
It was only a freak my telling her to write me through the World's Fair post-office; but when she did not come on the day before I met you, in fact I wrote just a few lines of inquiry. In reply to this I received a telegram last evening. I will get it. She crossed the room and opened a little traveller's writing-case, coming back with a yellow envelope in her hand.
