He was beaten about the head worse than any of us." "'Zactly, sir; but did you examine on him?" "Yes, and retied the bandage about his head." "That's good, sir; but you didn't find out quite what was the matter." "I thought I knew enough." "Yes, sir, but I did examine him when you sent me below to see how he was, and I found out." "What?" cried Mark, eagerly.
"We'll go home through the Holler," said Phineas, after she had retied her veil and they were ready to start. "It's the long way round, ye know. I ain't goin' ter give ye no snippy little two-mile run, Dianthy, like Colonel Smith did," he finished gleefully. "No, of course not," murmured Diantha, smothering a sigh as the automobile started with a jerk.
He merely retied the luggage with a packer's hitch that would take the greenhorn through his whole vocabulary before he untied it that night, and he would add two bits to the price of the gas because his time belonged to Bill, and Bill expected Casey's time to be paid for by the public.
He retied his cravat, yawned, rose, shook himself perfectly neat again, and going to Herbert's dressing-table quietly took up a brush and began to lightly brush himself, occasionally turning to the window to glance out.

"I wonder what school will bring us this year?" mused Nora O'Malley, as she retied her bow for the fifth time before the mirror and critically surveyed the final effect. "We had a stormy enough time last year, goodness knows. Really, girls, it is hard to believe that Miriam Nesbit and Julia Crosby were at one time the banes of our existence.

As they passed along, returning the salutations of all the guests who were so eager to smile upon them, Sidonie had a momentary thrill of pride, of satisfied vanity. Unhappily it did not last.
He was ready almost as soon as Pierre had retied the pack, which was to be Adrian's burden. "All right! I'll swing her up. This 'carry' isn't a long one and the first thoroughfare is ten miles before we come to dead water. But it's up-stream that far and we'll have to warp up some. Part is fair, but more is rips." If Pierre thought to confound his mate by his woodland slang he was disappointed.
She picked a raveling from her sleeve, and stroked her fur, and inspected the tips of her gloves, and untied and retied the strings of her cap all with an inscrutable face. Then suddenly her mind appeared to be made up. "Well, dear, run and bring your car and we'll pick up Imogene," she said, giving him a quick pat on the cheek. Lee experienced an inward and involuntary shrinking at that touch.
As this was a mark of deep affection, King only grinned at her and retied it, with an ease and grace born of long practice. "Well, Mehitabel," said Cousin Jack, "I always said you were a child who could do the most unexpected things.
