I've a pocketful of matches. We can make a try. For, if there's a thief around, and we are caught and proved impostors Well, I leave you to imagine!" "I will go with you," she replied resolutely.
She brought three nuts out of her pocket, and told them that in these nuts the most beautiful, the loveliest things were hidden; for they were wishing-nuts. Ib looked at her, and she seemed so friendly, that he plucked up courage and asked her if she would give him the nuts; and the woman gave them to him, and gathered some more for herself, a whole pocketful, from the nut bush.
Here!" and she stepped over to the mantel and brought a six-shooter to me and laid it in my hand, "can you shoot?" "A little, but not very well." "It's loaded already ... here is a pocketful of extra bullets." She filled my coat pocket till it sagged heavily. I slipped the gun in my hip pocket.

Half a dozen attendants ran to meet them as they drew up at the steps. They all knew Oliver, and two fell to brushing his coat, and one got his cap, while the mechanic took the car to the shed.

"No, Colonel, none for me; smoke a cigar got a pocketful." "Smoke yo' own cigars, will you, and in the presence of a Virginian? I don't believe you have got a drop of Irish blood left in yo' veins, or you would take this pipe." "Too strong for me," remonstrated Fitz. "Throw that villainous device away, I say, Fitz, and surprise yo' nostrils with a whiff of this.
I haven't any luck with men; I don't get on with them; I'm not popular." Beaton recognized the fact with the satisfaction which it somehow always brings to human pride. "So much the better!" Fulkerson was ready for him at this point. "I don't want you to work the old-established racket the reputations. When I want them I'll go to them with a pocketful of rocks knock-down argument.
"I have again been over Beechwood Hall. You all remember Beechwood?" Yes. It was the "great house" at Enderley, just on the slope of the hill, below Rose Cottage.
