His English, though queer, was voluminous; but I am not going to drag the reader at our heels laden with lore which can be applied only on the spot or in the presence of postal-card views of the Colosseum.
"For instance, what did you find on the body?" "Nothing of any importance a bunch of keys, a fountain-pen, and and just some useless trash I believe four dollars and nineteen cents." "Anything else?" "Oh, some scraps of paper and a picture postal-card." "Any cigars?" asked Garrison. "Yep three, with labels on 'em all but one, I mean." He had taken one label for his son's collection.
"The number of documents scattered among our auxiliaries cannot be accurately stated, but is not less than twelve or fifteen thousand, and the correspondence of the officers by letter and postal-card, will not fall short of the same estimate.
Peterkin and Elizabeth Eliza! AMANDA. Too late for the exhibition. Such a shame! But in time for the collation. AMANDA. But what made you so late? Did you miss the train? This is Elizabeth Eliza, girls you have heard me speak of her. What a pity you were too late! MRS. PETERKIN. We tried to come; we did our best. MOTHER. Did you miss the train? Didn't you get my postal-card?
It was not until he opened up the old man's books on the subject of wills that Garrison found the slightest clew, and then he came upon a postal-card addressed to "Sykey Robinson, Esq.," from Theodore's mother. It mentioned the fact that she had arrived quite safely at "the house," and requested that her husband forward a pair of her glasses, left behind when she started.
A letter is "mailed," not "posted;" the "postman" gives way to the "letter-carrier;" a "post-card" is expanded into a "postal-card." A second reflection will suggest to him the superior stability of the New York climate.
He presented himself, with his battered valise, at the door of Thomas Bingle's apartment and was given a warm, even hearty reception! And it was on that day at that very hour, so to speak that Thomas Bingle became a fabulously rich man without the slightest effort or intention on his part. Mr. Hooper one day recalled to mind the postal-card will.
With this pair the various postal-card reproductions must have long superseded the desire or the knowledge of copies, and I doubt if many Americans of any sort now support that honored tradition. Who, then, does support it? The galleries of the Prado seem as full of copyists as they could have been fifty years ago, and many of them were making very good copies.
He was to all who came to visit him a model of calmness and patience in affliction. I was absent from home at the last, but heard by daily postal-card of his failing condition; and never again saw him alive. It was a last look. He turned and walked away, laid himself down upon the bright spot in the rug, and quietly died.
Whenever he had gathered two or three about him they strayed off as the others came up, and we left him sardonically patient of their adhesions and defections, which seemed destined to continue indefinitely, while we struggled out through the postal-card boys and mosaic-pin men to our carriage.
