Risler, at a distance, gazed at them in admiration. "How pretty she is! How well they dance!" But, when they spied him, the dancers separated, and Sidonie walked quickly to him. "What! You here? What are you doing? They are looking everywhere for you. Why aren't you in there?" As she spoke she retied his cravat with a pretty, impatient gesture.
He retied the bundle, took his room-key from the hand of the smiling clerk and started up the stairway, humming a tune under his breath as he went. At the first turn he stopped and looked back. "Send the bell-hop up to wake me at seven," he called down to the clerk. "I'm going to take a much-needed nap and it'll be all your life's worth to let me miss that train!"
He would inquire in the morning; and meantime, he would leave the bundle at the office of the printer, where lost articles were commonly kept until they could be advertised in the paper, and called for by their owners. He replaced the things, and carefully retied the ends of the kerchief. It was dark when he reached town, and he went straight to his room and locked the bundle in his closet.
The white bridal gown with its long train made the badly cut, awkwardly worn black coat appear even more uncouth; but a coat can not be retied like a cravat; she must needs take it as it was. 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.
Ma Norton twisted Lydia around and retied her hair ribbon while she listened. They all knew Lydia's pride, so she quenched the impulse to give the child the books and said, "Till Thanksgiving is plenty of pay, Billy, and when the snow comes, the two mile extra walking will be too much. Get the books out of the parlor closet. You got a a ink on the back of your neck, Lydia.
He also, without a murmur, but with much pride in his dressing, put on the second of my discarded suits, and seemed to fancy himself mightily in his new gear. With plenty of cord I tied and retied the two bundles of swords and placed them across the horse in front of his saddle, and it was not yet daylight when Jem jingled out into the street like a moving armoury.
"My friend, you will decide before zat I go to Italy." said Mr. Pericles, and presently took his leave. When he was gone, Mr. Pole turned his chair to the table, and made an attempt to inspect one of the papers deliberately. Having untied it, he retied it with care, put it aside, marked 'immediate, and read the letter from Riga anew.
Ward washed his face in a basin of steaming water, got a can of talcum out of the dish cupboard, and took the soap-shine off his cheeks and chin. He combed his hair before the little mirror trying unavailingly to take the wave out of it with water, and leaving it more crinkly over his temples than it had been in the first place and retied the four-in-hand under the soft collar of his shirt.
There will be fewer bellies to feed. Sitka Charley retied the flour as he spoke, strapping the pack to the one on his own back. He kicked Joe till the pain broke through the poor devil's bliss and brought him doddering to his feet. Then he shoved him out upon the trail and started him on his way. The two Indians attempted to slip off. 'Hold, Gowhee! And thou, too, Kah-Chucte!
What! was I no longer to experience that supreme delight of shooting and being shot at of that unending excitement? Oh! was it really over?... I got up, and shook myself disconsolately, retied what remained of a neckcloth, and then looked in disgust at my boots. My boots! Two and a half months' work and sleep in them my only pair had not improved their appearance.
