Safe

Safe

A safe (also called strongbox, coffer or kist) is a secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects against theft or damage. A safe is usually a hollow cuboid or cylinder, with one face removable or hinged to form a door. The body and door may be cast from metal (such as steel) or formed out of plastic through blow molding. A less secure version (only suitable for petty cash) is usually called a cash-box.

    She would refuse love safe with wealth and honor!
    The lovely shall be choosers, shall they?
    Then let them choose!’

    [U]nless a woman is held, by man, safe within the bounds of belief, she becomes inevitably a destructive force.
