Perhaps that is why he is so touchy on the subject." "Did he ever give you any fuller account of his experience than is detailed here?" "No; he won't talk about it." "He tried to let the house, however." "Yes, but he did not succeed for a long time. Finally the mayor took it." Refolding the paper, I handed it back to Mr. Robinson. I had its contents well in mind.
"Then we shall have to remain estranged," said Hilary as he stood by the open window refolding the letter and thinking of his position. "Hil! Hil!" came from below. "Ahoy!" he answered. "Well, little lady?" and he leaned out. "Isn't it a beautiful morning, Hil," said Adela, looking up. "Lovely." "Why don't you come down and have a run with me in the woods?"
Here a not-too-luxurious but sufficing bed was contrived on the floor of the lobby from a pile of neatly folded blankets at hand, and a second night's repose was enjoyed by the lonely patron, who again at an early hour of the morning, after thoughtfully refolding the blankets that had protected him, was at some pains to leave the place as he had entered it without attracting public notice, perchance of unpleasant character.
Refolding the paper, and retaining it in his hand, he remarks: "I will touch the ballots again, and perhaps one of them will be designated this time."

Hamilton copied the name into his notebook and, refolding the paper as carefully as possible in the same folds, he handed it to the barefooted boy standing on the road beside his horse's head. "Did you-all read it?" he asked. "Yes," said Hamilton. "Did you-all see that he said 'Very Good'?" "'Very Good' was what was written," agreed Hamilton, thinking of the wavering and smudged pothooks.
Hastily refolding the note, I went into his study, and placed it on the table before him, with an averted glance and trembling hand. I dreaded lest his keen, clear eye should read guilt in my conscious face. Fortunately for me, he was too much agitated himself to notice my confusion. He eagerly clutched the paper, and his aspect grew dark as he perused it.
He lived in a vortex of mental confusion, performing his tasks mechanically. When drawing a gallon of kerosene or refolding the shown dress goods, or at any task not requiring him to be genially talkative, he would be saying to Miss Augusta Blivens in far-off Hollywood, "Yes, my wife is more than a wife.
