"I'm not ashamed to tell you, Jimmie Batch, that I've been the making of you since that night you threw the wink at me. And and it hurts, this does. God! how it hurts!" He was pleating the table-cloth, swallowing as if his throat had constricted, and still rearing his head this way and that in the tight collar. "I never claimed not to be a bad egg.
If she had looked up at that moment and caught the flash in the watching eyes, Miss Lilias would have been on her guard; but, as it was, she complacently settled herself to the study of patterns, holding up the little squares of gauze to the light, laying them against her dress, and pleating them in her fingers with an absorption which rendered her unconscious of her surroundings.
The woman was pleating a fold of her skirt between thumb and forefinger, plucking and unplucking with immense care and concentration. The man was suddenly shaken with a fit of asthma, and clutched at the cart as though seeking support. We waited for some reply, and at length the man answered between the spasms of his malady. "He says he doesn't know," my companion translated.

"I've always wanted to apologize to Mr. Garrison, though I do not know him he does not know me," said the girl softly, pleating the gelding's mane at a great rate. "It was all a mistake, of course.

After Ruth had arranged the tables for dinner she stole out to the porch for a breath of fresh air. Already the approach of an Arizona summer was beginning to make itself felt during the middle of the day. Yeager sat beneath the wild cucumber vines pleating a horsehair hatband for Daisy Ellington. Ruth liked this brown, lithe cowpuncher, all sinew and bone and muscle.
Go, says Alexander the Great to his soldiers, when they refused to follow him to the Indies, go tell your countrymen, that you left Alexander corn pleating the conquest of the world. This passage was always particularly admired by the prince of Conde, as we learn from St Evremond.
