Guided by the impulse of the moment, Elizabeth dropped upon one knee, opened the band-box, took out a bonnet, and then searched the trunk for a pelisse. Miss Damer looked down upon her dress
She had a way of intimacy with the servants which Mrs. Argenter found it hard to check. She liked to get into Jane's room when she was "doing herself up" of an afternoon, and look over her cheap little treasures in her band-box and chest-drawer. She made especial love to a carnelian heart, and a twisted gold ring with two clasped hands on it.
Jo, pointing to the merry group, in the middle of which stood Nan, giving away her things right and left, as lavishly as if the big band-box had no bottom. It was those good traits that soon made little "Giddygaddy," as they called her, a favorite with every one.
"Now, Eva, have you kept count of your things? Of course you haven't, children never do: there's the spotted carpet-bag and the little blue band-box with your best bonnet, that's two; then the India rubber satchel is three; and my tape and needle box is four; and my band-box, five; and my collar-box; and that little hair trunk, seven. What have you done with your sunshade?
Then bethinking herself, she added quickly, "Oh, I forgot, 'taint free here!" After examining the satchel and finding that the night gown sleeve was safe, Mrs. Nichols took up her line of march for the house, herself carrying her umbrella and band-box, which she would not intrust to the care of the negroes, "as like enough they'd break the umberell, or squash her caps."
You see, I've got a band-box, and my umbrella and pattens besides. I had to bring them, not knowing how the roads might be up there, and with damp feet I get rheumaticy directly."
How nice of you to come and see our little place. It's a band-box, of course." Mrs. Sayre sat down, a gross disharmony in the room, but a solid and not unkindly woman for all that. "My dear," she said, "I am not paying a call. Or not only that. I came to talk to you about something. About Wallace and your sister." Nina was gratified and not a little triumphant. "I see," she said.
The carriage had turned in at the drive, and he glanced towards Brooks a little uneasily. "Do I look-as though I'd been going it a bit?" he asked. "Since Selina's got these band-box young men hanging around she's so mighty particular." Brooks leaned forward and rescued Mr. Bullsom's tie from underneath his ear. "You're all right," he said, reassuringly.
As to what exactly happened to them during their manipulation in this same military band-box not one of them was ever known to allude in a boastful spirit; but the lay mind had a very strong suspicion that not much time was wasted inside the barracks in fine talking.
We never leave the oars with the watchman; Max takes these, Annie and I each take a band-box, H. takes my carpet-sack, and Reeney brings up the rear with Annie's. It is a funny procession. Mr. B.'s family were absent, and as we sat on the gallery talking, it needed only a few minutes to show this was a "Union man." His home was elegant and tasteful, but even here there was neither tea nor coffee.
