It buttoned around her wrists snugly, but on unfastening the buttons the sleeves could be rolled up and pinned out of the way, so they would keep clean.
Selim went forward, and again I heard the keys rattle in his hands. Almost instantly the shadow of a head appeared at the window whence the light came. While the Lala was unfastening the lock I went close to the grating. I was just tall enough to meet a pair of dark eyes gazing at me intently through the lowest bars. "Alexander Patoff, is it you?" I asked in Russian.
But Nils was not easily dismayed; he came straight in with his horses, though it was in the middle of a working spell. If only I could hold the Captain here a bit while he got in! Nils realizes there is no time to be lost he is already unfastening the harness on the way. Suddenly the Captain looks at me, and asks: "Well, have you lost your tongue?" "'Twas Nils," I answer then.

"Tappington and you are friends?" "Well yes."
But the time came to go. For a long time, in the filthy street where the snow was melting, in the dark hall, in the silent room where her mother awaited her, the brilliant light of the salons continued to shine before her dazzled eyes. "Was it very fine? Did you have a charming time?" queried Madame Chebe in a low tone, unfastening the buckles of the gorgeous costume, one by one.
"When I heard them close shutter and window, I came out of my cellar, replaced my stool, and again mounted upon it. Unfastening the shutter, I opened it without noise, but the two broken panes were stopped up with the skirts of a pelisse.
