If Milton had had an X-ray eye he could have seen her take a cigarette from her handbag and light it nonchalantly the moment he was gone. As for Bennett, Milton, who was watching him closely, thought he was about to discharge him on the spot for bothering him. He took the card, and his face expressed the most extreme surprise, then anger. He thought a moment.
"The next street is Weston and it don't look very promisin'." She drew the letter from her handbag and showed it to him. "Well, that's the queerest thing I know," he said, astonished by the letterhead. "I've been drivin' cabs horse and taxi for twenty years, and I never heard of no such people or no such place." "Well, at least go around the corner and see.
The carriage stopped beneath the portico, the great doors flew open revealing the glow of the hall fire and lights within, the footman sprang down from the box and two other footmen descended the steps to assist me and my belongings out of the carriage. These, I remember, consisted of a handbag with my dress clothes and a yellow-backed novel.
Everything seems to be crushed and broken machinery, wheels, glass, body.... Still some parts are strong enough to keep moving. So miraculously there moved a part, which brought my handbag here from Moscow, the very first ray of sun in my existence for a long time.
"Oh, sir, don't say that to a poor tradesman, sir!" said the tailor, shaking his head reproachfully, as he reopened the little handbag and drew a flat bill-case of large size from among the cards of patterns. "Mr Mark said if I would make it a bit easy, and drew at three, six, and nine, you would put your name to the paper, and there would be no more trouble."
She plucked a minute handkerchief from her handbag, put it to her eyes, and began to sob quietly. The burly Inspector of Police was moved to quick sympathy.

And with this Kenneth had to be content, for a roguish laugh appeared in Patty's eyes and he knew she would not treat matters seriously any further. Dropping the locket in her little handbag, Patty turned to go back to the others. "But you're not keeping your promise," said Kenneth, detaining her. "What promise?" "You said you'd wear the locket on Saturdays, and to-day is Saturday."
"Your lips have more colour." Miss Eyester opened a handbag and, taking out a small, round mirror which she carried for the purpose, inspected her lips critically. "It does seem so," she admitted. "If I can just keep from getting excited." "I can't imagine a better place than The Colonial." The reply contained a grain of irony.
Janet found out all about the hours, secured -as Elvira thought- two first-class berths, met her when she crept like a guilty thing out of the hotel at New York, took her to the station, went with her to an outfitter to be supplied with necessaries for the voyage, for she had been obliged to abandon everything but a few valuables in her handbag, and saw her safely on board, introduced her to some kind friendly English people, then on some excuse of seeing the steward, left her, as Elvira found, to make the voyage alone!
It would be to go off alone, with one suit of clothes in a handbag, oh, and fifty or a hundred dollars in my pocket I wouldn't mind that; I don't want to be a tramp to some mining town, or mill town, or slum, where I could start a general practise; where the things I'd get would be accident cases, confinement cases; real things, urgent things, that night and day are all alike to.
