And now he tried to disentangle a strangely intricate genealogy; but be was unable to find the right thread, and succeeded only in getting the different relationships more and more mixed up, like a skein of yarn. And at last he always concluded by saying: "You may believe me on my word that we are related; for we are related, although I can't quite figure out how."
It is not easy for the community of a country town to disentangle the truth from the mass of conjecture and contradictory reports to which a single fact gives rise. The provinces insist as in former days the politicians of the little Provence at the Tuileries insisted on full explanations, and they usually end by knowing everything.
"Is that a reason why I should make a friend of Mrs. Hannay?" "It's a reason why you should be civil to her. You will send an invitation to Gorst at the same time." She winced. "That I cannot do." "You can, dear, and you will. Gorst's in a pretty bad way. I knew he would be. He's got entangled now with some wretched girl, and I've got to disentangle him.
But in the early morning Rube Carter awoke to see him wearing the doeskin robe and moccasins, and in the act of covering his head with the great war bonnet. "What, changed your mind?" cried Rube.

All this meretricious toilet so elaborate, so complicated, and so contrary to nature must be accomplished, and it is accomplished, by the busy little fingers of each girl for herself; and so it seems to be very evident that a style of hair-dressing which it will require hours to disentangle, which must injure and in time ruin the natural beauty of the hair, ought to be one thing which a well-regulated court of inquiry would reject in our American fashions.
The future promised fair; I lured them to their doom, and when the doom came, lo! the promise was kept! but how? and now, Edith, the last of my race; Harold, the pride of my pride! speak, thing of Horror and Night, canst thou disentangle the web in which my soul struggles, weak as the fly in the spider's mesh?"
