Her robe was partly open, and hunger burned in him; then, before he could lift himself, she bent over and began unfastening his boots. "You all right, Bruce? I heard you tossing around." "I'm fine," he told her mechanically. "Just making plans for tomorrow." He watched her turn back slowly, then lay quietly, trying not to disturb her again. Tomorrow, he thought.
At the same time his heart had begun to ache and long after the communion of his kind. For not once since he set out and that seemed months where it was only weeks, had he had an opportunity of doing anything for anybody except, indeed, unfastening the dog's collar; and not to be able to help was to Gibbie like being dead.
Primrose had begged of her to open it when the bills came in, and pay for the furniture Primrose seemed to have an absolute prejudice against unfastening that envelope herself. Miss Egerton opened it slowly now, smiling as she did so at the quaint inscription on the cover.
As he spoke, the brown men were scuttling about, one unfastening the door of a little tower, which stuck as if it had not been opened for a long time, another darting into the house, which appeared silent and tenantless, a third and fourth running to a more distant part, and vanishing also through a dark doorway.
At this the Hakim had looked grave, and bidden him recline upon the rug outside the tent door, taking the arm in hand once more and gently unfastening the bandages before bathing and applying a soothing antiseptic application upon fresh lint to the wound, and bandaging less tightly once again.
The coast-guards crossed the wharf with noiseless steps, and, unfastening the skiff which the smugglers had just used, they climbed down into it, and pushed off toward the Alert. A few strokes brought them alongside of her, and, thrusting their arms under the sail, they began the examination which the smugglers had so much dreaded.
A human thief entering the window would have disturbed this arrangement, and would scarcely risk discovery by attempting to replace it, especially a thief in so great a hurry as to snatch the brooch up without unfastening the pin.
Tremblingly he prepared to obey, but not without unfastening the horse which the dead Marquis had so lately ridden, and taking some trouble to attach it to his vehicle for his own uses.
Markham flew to her assistance, and, unfastening the collar of her dress, something was disclosed to view which gave that lady a second sensational shock, more thrilling than the first.
The sky was full of fiends who directed all their wild rage at his head. When he came to the well, he flung himself face downward and peered into its darkness. There were furtive silver glintings some feet from the surface. He grabbed one of the canteens, and, unfastening its cap, swung it down by the cord. The water flowed slowly in with an indolent gurgle.
