A seashell that you secretly retain "on the side" to listen to the "sound of the salty surf" by holding the shell up to your ear during periods when you are unable to actually visit the seashore in person.
With the innumerable multitudes of bathers who visit the seashore, I don't think that Lady Ocean will be heartbroken or even actually notice my absence if I occasionally stay home with my conchubrine instead of loyally strolling her sandy shores each and every day.
