There was serious trouble between yourself and Sergeant Haney and Howard the night you reached Fort Scott after the campaign, and you were ordered confined. I have heard there at Scott a story I do not believe. Will you not tell your captain and me the real cause?" "Well, sir, it was about my writing-case," said the corporal, in low and hesitant voice.
Fan glanced into her face, then dropped her eyes and turned crimson. "Have I frightened the shy little innocent? Doesn't she like to have her wicked little plans exposed?" said the other mockingly. "Can you not read me better, Mary?" said Fan; but her face was still bent over her writing-case, nor would she say more, although the other stood by waiting. Nor would Mary question her any further.
She gave Rose a swift and comprehensive glance, then slipped her pen into her writing-case and closed it. "I am afraid I have interrupted you," said Rose. "Oh no, it doesn't matter." Dinah's dimple showed for a second and was gone. "I can't write any more now. There's something about this air that makes me feel now and then that I must get up and jump. Does it affect you that way?"
All the way to Pendleton, May was proposing different things: a book, a work-box, a writing-case, etc; but at the mention of all these Rosalie shook her head. 'Popsey was too small for any of these, she said; 'she could not read, nor sew, nor write. So then May proposed a doll, and Rosalie thought that was a very good idea.
But once or twice I drew them from the old envelope in which I had placed them, and turned them over in wonder.

When the Duc de Richelieu was shown his letter to Alberoni, he confessed all that concerned himself, but would not disclose his accomplices. Nothing but billets-doux were found in his writing-case. Alberoni in this affair trusted a man who had formerly been in his service, but who is now a spy of my son's.
Will you write it now?" inquired Captain Pendleton, drawing from his pocket a rolled writing-case, containing all that was requisite for the work. "A thousand thanks, Pendleton. I do not see how in the name of Heaven we could have managed without you," replied Berners, as he took the case, unrolled it on his knee, and proceeded to write the required "power of attorney."
He laughed again, but uneasily. "How did you discover me?" With a readiness which showed that she had already prepared an answer to the question, she unlocked a writing-case, which was on the side table, and took from it a newspaper. "By one of those strange accidents which are the ruin of men like you. Among the papers sent to the overseer from his English friends was this one."
The big, new box with her initials on the side; the dressing-bag with its dainty fittings; the writing-case and workbox; the miniature medicine chest stocked with domestic remedies, in case she should feel feverish or chilled, have earache, toothache, or headache; be threatened with sore throat or swollen glands they were all new possessions, and as such afforded acute satisfaction, for though the wardrobe list was disappointingly short, there were at least no restrictions as to quality.
At first, Tu, whose nature was the reverse of inquisitive, declined to listen to these promptings, but so persistent did they become that he at last put down his book "The Spring and Autumn Annals" and, seating himself, at the sitting-room table, opened the writing-case so innocently left by Jasmine.
