He sees Christianity, not as an interesting school of philosophy, not as a charming subject for brilliant and amicable discussions, but as a force essential to the salvation of mankind; a force, however, which must first be disentangled from the accretions of ancient error before it can work its transforming miracles both in the heart of men and in the institutions of a materialistic civilisation.
By regarding her tears and her smiles as enemies, her stooping form, her hanging arms, and all her disentangled hair as toils designed to entrap man's heart. Then how much more should you suspect her studied, amorous beauty; when she displays her dainty outline, her richly ornamented form, and chatters gayly with the foolish man!
She thought the two seemed very close, but she disentangled them, and laid the baby doll on the counter. As she did so the big doll fell forward on the shelf, with its arms hanging over as if they were stretched out imploringly; but the girl never noticed it. 'I think this will be what you are wanting, madam, she said. The lady looked at it in a dissatisfied way.
Goods will arrive without damage." At three o'clock Clarisse woke. Her first words were: "Is it to be to-morrow?" He did not answer.

And as Sin Sin Wa disentangled yard upon yard of rope from the bundle on the floor by the bed where Rita Irvin lay in her long troubled sleep, he crooned a queer song.

"I didn't forsake it," cried Tottie, with flashing eyes, and shaking her thick curls indignantly which latter, by the way, since her coming under the stern influence of Miss Stivergill, had been disentangled, and hung about her like a golden glory.

"And here are we using his house and his cook and everything." She swung her feet off the sofa and disentangled them from the shawl, folded it neatly and sat looking at Peter, who opened his eyes. For a full minute they stared at each other in silence, then he stretched himself and rose. "I say, have you slept?" he asked. "Till a minute ago ... Mr. Ledgard ... why did you stay?

"Pop Daggett told me about his being thrown and breaking his neck," he said presently.
The soldier, to be sure, ransomed by gold, will return a braver fellow! If the hind, disentangled from the thickset toils, ever fights, then indeed shall he be valorous, who has intrusted himself to faithless foes; and he shall trample upon the Carthaginians in a second war, who dastardly has felt the thongs with his arms tied behind him, and has been afraid of death.
