Agnew was curled up at Milton's feet. Harden was not to be seen. Enoch hurried to the river's edge. A sheet of paper fluttered from the split end of a stake that had been stuck in a conspicuous spot. It was unaddressed and Enoch opened it. "I have gone to find Forrester, and help him out. I took one-third of the grub and one of the guns and a third of the shells.
"But thou art weary, holy Father; let me do it," Hotep protested gently. "Nay, nay, I can do it," the old man insisted. "See!" drawing forth a scroll unaddressed, "I have written all this in an hour. O aye, I can write with the young men yet." He made the interlineation, rolled the scroll and sealed it. "I am sturdy, still."
That was really depressing. Peter, as the egg boiled, looked back rather wistfully over his year. It seemed a very long time ago since he had come up. His had been an undistinguished arrival; he had not come as a sandwich man between two signboards that labelled his past career and explained his path that was to be; he had been unaddressed to any destination.
"I've got a letter for you," Lacey said. "The lady's aunt and herself are cousins of mine more or less removed, and originally at home in the U. S. A. a generation ago. Her mother was an American. She didn't know your name Miss Hylda Maryon, I mean. I told her, but there wasn't time to put it on." He handed over the unaddressed envelope. David opened the letter, and read: "I have seen the papers.
Miss Riley had to meet a friend there; Robbins must wait till she was ready to come home. Only as the car slowed down in front of the third-rate hotel did Clo touch the hasp of the gray suede bag. It was not locked, and save for a crumpled dollar bill, its sole contents was a large, unaddressed envelope fastened with three gold seals.
There came to me a little note on foreign paper, unaddressed, an enclosure forwarded by Janet, and containing merely one scrap from the playful XENIEN of Ottilia's favourite brotherly poets, of untranslatable flavour: Who shuns true friends flies fortune in the concrete: Would he see what he aims at? let him ask his heels. It filled me with a breath of old German peace.
"We simply got jollying a bit in the first place about the amount of perfectly senseless, no-account truck that'll collect in a fellow's pockets; and then some sort of a scorched piece of paper he had, or something, got him telling me about a nasty, sizzling close call he had to-day with a live wire; and then I got telling him here about a friend of mine and a mighty good fellow, too who dropped dead on the street one day last summer with an unaddressed, typewritten letter in his pocket that began 'Dearest Little Rosie, called her a 'Honey' and a 'Dolly Girl' and a 'Pink-Fingered Precious, made a rather foolish dinner appointment for Thursday in New Haven, and was signed in the Lord's own time at the end of four pages, 'Yours forever, and then some.
Without comment he pulled open the inside drawer and started to lay the white envelope on top of the papers already there, when he hesitated. "The envelope is unaddressed, Helen," he remarked, extending it toward her. She waved it back. "It is sealed with red wax," she stated. "That is all that is necessary for identification."
Piqued by the thought, she carefully reread the manuscript, and when she had again reached its uncompromising end, she gave herself up to a few minutes of concentrated thought, then, taking a sheet of paper from the rack before her, she wrote upon it a single sentence, and folding the sheet, put it in an envelope which she left unaddressed.
She travelled then, not hurrying, down the breadth of a great apartment to a side room where her father sat, capped and writing; and she said: "Papa, the man who assaulted me in the train is now in the hall. As his sentence was three years, he must have escaped " She was gone at once, the unaddressed envelope, still unopened, shivering a little in her hand.
