Some of these jewels were family treasures, well known to New York for generations; and in such cases it was becoming the fashion to leave the real jewels in the safe-deposit vault, and to wear imitation stones exactly like them.
He carried a 38-calibre revolver in his pocket, and he chewed peppermint gum thoughtfully. The furniture of the house was swathed in its summer dust protectors. The silver was far away in safe-deposit vaults. The burglar expected no remarkable "haul."
And he put the originals and thirty-one of the copies in thirty-two different safe-deposit vaults in the city, and took the other copy to his home in a valise. And that night burglars broke in, and the valise was missing.
He knows, too, that I have quite a sum in bonds that I could convert into cash at once." "Well, take my advice and hold on to them to every cent you have. Where do you keep them?" "In the bank...in a safe-deposit vault Oh, how careless of me! I've left the key out on the table! I usually keep it...you remember...in the secret drawer of the cabinet."
We followed as quickly as we could, but this time luck was against us Sydenham had disappeared. "To the safe-deposit company," said Indiman, and we jumped into a hansom.

After passing through several heavy doors, which "Specs" unlocked, saluting the sentries at each, they came to a great iron grille and he motioned to Lawrence to look through, saying, "This is as far as I can take you." Lawrence looked through, and he saw what appeared to be the door of an enormous safe-deposit k vault.
Looking back, Stillman marveled at the indiscretion he had committed when he handed over not only his reserve, but Claire Robson's reputation into the safekeeping of Lily Condor. Had he ever had the simplicity to imagine that a woman of Mrs. Condor's stamp would constitute herself a safe-deposit vault for hoarding secrets without exacting a price?

"I had seen an advertisement of this Lucas Street safe-deposit and it seemed just the thing I wanted. Besides the gold, I had all the papers to do with the claims plans, reports, receipts, licences and so on.
