The unknown fair one, seated in front of a dressing-table blazing with wax lights, was unfastening her frippery with the utmost calmness. "Ring for Giulia," said she; "I want to get my dress off."

"Oh, the snow couldn't keep us, Shadrach," returned the Governor, as he gave him his overcoat, and set himself to unfastening his wife's wraps. "We were too anxious to get home.

"Light thou the lamps," Claudia commanded as, without unfastening her outer wrap, she sat down and watched the big slave. When he had applied fire to the oil held high in silver basins set on polished cedar standards, he turned to his mistress. For a moment she did not heed him. Then she said, "Say to the servants, Pilate cometh soon.
He began unfastening it. "I give you my shirt," he said. "My mother says it is the best she ever made it is yours." For a second Tony's thoughts were busy, then, without hesitation, he, too, unfastened his shirt, which luckily was a fine blue silk "soft" one. "And I give you mine," he said simply.
