Lying at full length on his side, his head propped on his hand, talking in the lazy tone of after-dinner content which had descended upon him, he continued to watch her as she repacked the hamper. It was not until she deliberately forsook him that he gave up to her wishes.
"Now all must be repacked," said the widow. "I'll keep this shawl," said Calabash. "You'll keep it!" cried Nicholas, brutally, "if I give it to you. You are always taking you Miss Free-and-easy." "Oh! you then refrain from taking?" "I? I nail at the risk of my skin. It's not you who'd have been jugged if they'd caught me on the barge." "Well, there's your shawl!
On the morning of the day that I was to leave there I was surprised to receive a package by one of the local English expresses of the city, and more surprised to find that the package contained a small box of specimens which had been missing when I had repacked my property at Manila.
It was five hours later when the watchers on Hardscrabble saw the Johnson party turn south, up the valley between barb and shank of the mountain; an hour after that Zurich rejoined them, as they repacked at the trail foot, and made his report: "I couldn't hear where they're going; but it is somewhere west or westerly, and it's a day farther on.

Early on a brilliant morning, with baggage repacked, and the lessening amount of provisions more firmly strapped on the shoulders of the Indians, the explorers left their pleasant site on the banks of the Maniri. The repose allowed to the bulk of the party during the absence of their Bolivian companions had been wholesome and refreshing.
It was as though everything had been unpacked the night before to be repacked next morning. Not a door in the house was true on its hinges. The little windows, fifteen feet up, were darkened with wasp-nests, and lizards hunted flies between the beams of the wood-ceiled roof. But all this was part of Scott's life.
Walker stopped, then he added: "It's a thing which I did not know until that moment, but it's the truth. If hard-packed earth is dug up and repacked air gets into it, and if one pours water on the place air bubbles will come up." He did not go on, and I flung the big query of his story at him. "And you found the plates there?" "Yes," he replied, "in the false bottom of an old steamer trunk."
The basket having been repacked, and it being found perfectly impossible to awaken Mr. Pickwick from his torpor, some discussion took place whether it would be better for Mr. Weller to wheel his master back again, or to leave him where he was, until they should all be ready to return.
