"What makes you so sure?" returned Mrs. Evringham banteringly. Jewel flushed with embarrassment and glanced at her grandfather involuntarily, but he was busy eating and evidently would not help her. "I'd rather not say," replied the child at last, and her rejoinder incited her aunt to further merriment. "Aunt Madge doesn't laugh in a nice way," thought Jewel. "It's even pleasanter when she looks sorry."

She gave a slight exclamation as she finished. "Is your mother a saint?" she asked, looking up suddenly. "No," returned Jewel innocently. "She's a Christian Scientist."
Eloise suddenly put out her hand, and drawing Jewel to her, hid her forehead on the child's breast. "I wish you were older," she said.

"May our Lady reward your noble heart!" said she: "and now my mission is ended, and my earthly goal is won. Add only, lady, to your inestimable favours one more. These jewels" - and Ursula drew from her robe a casket, touched the spring, and the lid flying back, discovered jewels of great size and the most brilliant water, - "these jewels," she continued, laying the casket at Nina's feet, "once belonging to the princely house of Thoulouse, are valueless to me and mine. Suffer me to think that they are transferred to one whose queenly brow will give them a lustre it cannot borrow."英文原著 · 《Rienzi》
We went over to the South Gardens to see the lights change on the Tower of Jewels, passing the half-dome of Philosophy, the stained glass of the windows enveiling the background. They were still robing the tower in pure white, and the hundred thousand pieces of Austrian cut glass were shimmering.

One day when I was renewing the fuel in the room of a Mrs. Hubbard from Pittsburgh, I found no one in the apartment and Mrs. Hubbard's pearls and other jewels lying on the dresser. Immediately I was terrified with thought of the kangaroo court. I knew that the jewels were valued at several thousands of dollars. If I went away some one else might come into the room and possibly steal the jewels, for they were lying in plain sight and were valuable enough to tempt a weak-willed person.
