noun necessaires · nécessaire

A small case for holding personal items, especially toiletries. While this was being made they missed one boat, and, by the time it was ready, the sleuths were on their track – this unlucky medicine chest having played the same part that Marie Antoinette's nécessaire did in the escape to Varennes.
