William Makepeace Thackeray

"As for "tickers", (…) her apartments were alive with their clicking. Tor, happening to mention one night that hers, (…) went ill, on the very next morning there came to her a little bijou marked Leroy (…) and another signed Breguet, which was covered with pearls (...)."
William Makepeace Thackeray
Vanity Fair, 1847-1848
