As she retied the ribbon in one of the sleeves of her nightgown she thought: "And that Tapp boy came back a second time! Some fisherman's son, I suppose. But exceedingly nice looking!" A little later the feather bed had taken her into its arms and she almost instantly fell asleep. Occasionally through the night she was roused by unfamiliar sounds.
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.
But McCaskey ran on with an insulting attempt at banter: "I'm onto you short-weighers. Take your bit out of the drunks; I'm sober." When Pierce had retied the sack and returned it he looked up and into Joe's face. His own was white, his eyes were blazing. "Don't pull any more comedy here," he said, quietly. "That short- weight joke doesn't go at the Rialto." "Oh, it don't? JOKE!" McCaskey snorted.
His strong hands clenched in an action betraying the reckless rage in his heart. Then he carefully removed his hunting coat, and examined his wound. He retied the bandage, muttering gloomily, "I'm so weak as to be light-headed. If this cut opens again, it's all day for me." After that the inmates of the hut were quiet.
Venable sat down next to Mary, and they talked of the sea, in which a few belated bathers were splashing, and of the hot and distant city, and finally of Mary's work. These topics did not interest Mamma, who carried on a few gay, restless conversations with various acquaintances on the porch meanwhile, and retied her parasol bow several times.
The Indians changed from gay to grave; they picked up their weapons and looked keenly on every side; the big Indian at once retied Joe, and then all crowded round the chief. "Did you hear what Silvertip said, and did you notice the effect it had?" whispered Jim, taking advantage of the moment. "It sounded like French, but of course it wasn't," replied Joe. "It was French. 'Le Vent de la Mort."
She drew the king down a bit, slowed him from the swooping run, set him into the wonderful rock-and-away of the singlefoot and retied the ribbon on her hair. She wore no hat this day and the tawny cloud of her hair fluffed back from her forehead, straining at its bands, its loose ends standing up like fairy stuff all over her head.
It would have broken but for your forethought, Elfride exclaimed apprehensively. She retied the two ends. The rope was now firm in every part. 'When you have let it down, said Knight, already resuming his position of ruling power, 'go back from the edge of the slope, and over the bank as far as the rope will allow you. Then lean down, and hold the end with both hands.
The friction often burned these cords through and the weights had to be lifted and retied again and again. "We want a clever invention to put this right," she said. "A lot of good time's wasted with the weights. Nobody's thought upon the right thing yet." "I'm properly dazed," confessed Nelly Northover. "You live and learn without a doubt nothing's so true as that."
Bonne Maman threw around her supervising glance, inserted a pin here, retied a ribbon there, straightened her father's cravat; but while all this little world was stamping with impatience, beckoned out of doors by the beauty of the day, there came a ring at the bell, echoing through the apartment and disturbing their gay proceedings. "Suppose we don't open the door?" propose the children.
