Mary Rogers calmly walked around her friend, bestowing a practical shake there, a pluck here, completely retying one bow and restoring an engaging fullness to another, yet critically examining, with her head on one side, the fascinating result. Then Susy performed the same function for Mary with equal deliberation and deftness. Suddenly Mary started and looked up.
Suddenly it came over her that she had had enough of him more than was good for her, and she sat up straight, primly retying her neckerchief. "To-morrow?" he was saying, too civilly; but on her way to the pavilion she could not remember what she had replied, or how she had rid herself of him.
Retying the paper, he tucked them all back into place, turned the key, shook the box to see that the lock held tight, picked it up with one hand by its side handle, and, throwing open the door, deposited it on the landing outside. Its leather companion was then placed beside it, the hat-case crowning the whole. Mike's voice was now heard in the narrow front hall. "How fur is it up, mum?
She heaved a long sigh, then fell back on to the floor, and was walking along a little white road with tall black trees on either side, a little road that led to nowhere, and where nobody walked at all nobody at all. "Do you think we might ask her to come with us," said Fraulein Elsa, retying her pink sash ribbon before my mirror.
"What a brute he was, ugh!" she said, retying the ribbons of her bonnet under her square chin, and smoothing out her linen duster. Cass tried to look as if he had forgotten the whole affair. "Who?

He swung one arm in a stiff gesture that embraced the entire valley. "They're all sure, too," his voice grated hoarsely, "They're all sure, too just as sure as we could ever be and there's a whole town of them!" She was bending silently over the table, retying the bundle, when he crossed back to her side, a lighted lantern dangling in one hand. "I don't know why myself," he tried to explain.
It seemed more dangerous to refuse than to go. He browned the celebrated new shoes; he pressed the distinguished new trousers, with a light and quite unsatisfactory flatiron; he re-re-retied his best spotted blue bow it persisted in having the top flaps too short, but the retying gave him spiritual strength and he modestly clumped into the aloof brick portal of the Astoria Club on time.
She pulled the ribbon from her hair and brushed it before retying the ribbon carefully and flinging her hair behind her back. The least I can do, she thought, is to make myself halfway presentable, though it's a pity I haven't time to change my coat. A hat might have been welcome for its warmth the evening was sure to be cold and for fashion as well.
Fanny turned to the man, ready to share her anxiety with him, but he had sat down on the bank and was retying a bootlace that had come undone. Margot never showed herself at the hut window, at the hut door.
"Land sake, Ella," said Mrs. Dunn, "I told you to empty them baskets long ago. Whatever have you been a-doin' all this time?" "I was retying my sash, Ma," exclaimed Ella, reappearing from the next room; "I think it has more of an air tied on the side." "Ain't she the airy piece!" exclaimed the proud mother, looking at her daughter with undisguised admiration.
