They who have made experience, as we have all made experience, of the insufficiency of earthly utterances, of the doubtfulness of the clearest words of men, of the possible incapacity of the most loving, to be what they pledge themselves to be, and of the certainty that even if they are so for a while they cannot be so always have surely learned one half, at least, of the lesson that life is meant to teach us; and it is our own fault if we have not bettered it with the better half, having uncoiled the tendrils of our hearts from the rotten props round which they have been too apt to twine themselves, and wreathed them about the pillars of the eternal throne, which can never shake nor fail.
All were ropes and lines not a raw-hide among them. "There he goes! He's gone!" roared a score of frantic voices, as the engulfed laborer sank out of sight in the sand. Harry Hazelton feverishly uncoiled one of the ropes, gathering a few folds in his right hand. "Catch, Tom!" Harry shouted, making a cast. The line swirled through the air, then settled on the sands.
He sat there, smiling and dapper, balancing his hard round hat on his knee, and holding gloves in his hand. Louise looked the more untidy by contrast: as usual, her hair was half uncoiled. Maurice saw this in a flash, saw also the look of annoyance that crossed her face at his unceremonious entry. She raised astonished eyebrows. Then, however, she shook hands with him. "I think you know Mr.
He picked up and uncoiled a spare rope. "You'd best take hold o' this and let me slip ye over the starboard side, forra'd there, as she goes about. Bain't afeard, hey?" "I'm not afraid of anything but being caught, sir." "Sarah will take her in close: there's plenty water." "O.P.," said the voice aft. "My angel." "Tell 'en he's a good boy, and I wouldn' mind having one like him."
The icy flood swept over the land, bringing out with a new emphasis the close, glossy foliage and broken façade it appeared unreal, portentous. The odors of the flowers, of the orange blossoms, uncoiled in heavy, palpable waves across the water, accompanied by the owl's fluctuating cry.
Her hair was uncoiled, and fell in dark masses over her white shoulders, blowing out behind her in the wind. The crowd hesitated at the sight of her, and quieted a little. She stood rigid as a statue for a moment, holding her arms outstretched. Then, dropping them with a gesture of appeal she began to speak.
If the airy creature be watched as it lights upon a flower, it will not be difficult to see it uncurl this long tongue and probe the depths of the flower. If the butterfly be taken in the hand and the tip of a pin inserted in the center of the coiled tongue, it can be uncoiled without the slightest harm to the butterfly.

"Dr. Shark said I ought to put a mustard poultice on my stomach, so I uncoiled myself and summoned my servants, and they began putting on the mustard plaster. It had to be bound all around me so it wouldn't slip off, and I began to look like an express package.
Charley came to a halt and uncoiled the rawhide rope which he had taken from the canoe. He paid it out, and passed one end of it to his boss. He fastened the other end about his waist. Half-way down its length Bill took possession of it. It was a guiding life-line so that those behind him should not lose the trail. Then the upward struggle began.
'You've crumpled my dress-shirt 'orrid, said he, 'an' I shan't sing no more to this 'ere bloomin' drawin'-room. Learoyd, roused by the confusion, uncoiled himself, crept behind Ortheris, and slung him aloft on his shoulders.
