"And when's that?" he inquired, driving at his point deliberately. "When momma says." Vada was fastening and unfastening the man's dirty waistcoat with great interest. "An' when does your momma say it?" Sunny persisted. "When poppa's done the chores." "Ah!" He felt himself on the wrong tack, and cast about for a fresh line of argument.

It was immediately apparent that the military man's spur had become entangled in the gimp which decorated the skirt of her dress. He caught a view of her face. "I'll unfasten you in one moment, miss," he said, with new-born gallantry. "Oh no I can do it, thank you," she hastily replied, and stooped for the performance. The unfastening was not such a trifling affair.
"That's about all," said the man, after a moment's thought; and unfastening the punt after the boys were in, he pushed off, but only to turn back directly and secure the boat again. "Why, what now, Dave?" cried Dick. "Aren't you going?" "Going, lad! yes; but I thowt if we caught no bohds you might like me to shute one or two." "Well, we've got the gun and plenty of powder."
I'll go and " "Don't bother, don't bother." Solomin opened the door. "Pavel!" he shouted down the dark staircase, "run and fetch the things from the cart!" "All right!" answered the never-failing Pavel. Solomin turned to Mariana, who had taken off her shawl and was unfastening her cloak. "Did everything go off happily?" he asked.

At this point the canvas-back ducks were served, one whole shade of a bird for each guest. "Fall to, gentlemen," said Washington, gazing hungrily at his bird. "When canvas-back ducks are on the table conversation is not required of any one." "It is fortunate for us that we have so considerate a host," said Confucius, unfastening his robe and preparing to do justice to the fare set before him.
"Like this," said he, unfastening the breast of his cassock, and taking out a small package, which, among other things, contained the designation of the Corps des Guides in an arrow of gold embroidery. "Had he not beautiful hair, long and silky as a girl's?" said he, as he produced a lock of light and sunny brown. "Poor Alphonse! thou wouldst have been twenty hadst thou lived till yesterday.

I've kept it all this time; and, please, I do love it so! For Mr. Westerdale was Rosalie's old friend, who had come to see her in the fair, just a year ago.
For a second or two the skipper held his breath with fear, then the other man raised himself feebly on his knees, and, throwing away his whip, staggered to his feet and, unfastening the reins, clambered unsteadily into his gig and drove off without a word.
As I uttered a cry of horror I saw the boy's woolly head appear for a moment above the surface, and then go down, weighted as he was by the shackles on his ankles; and, as I gazed, I nearly went after him, the boat gave such a lunge, but I saved myself, and found that it was caused by Morgan leaping back rope in hand, after unfastening the moorings, and it was well he did so, sending the boat well off into the stream, floating after our purchase.
Yes, there was Phebe; and these others must be his girl Hilda and his son Felix. They were near to him, every word they spoke reached his ears, and penetrated to his heart.
