He finds his camel, unfastens him, dons his ordinary clothing, takes his wife upon the camel's back with him, and departs. The day dawns. She says: "O thou who art the son of my paternal uncle, I am thirsty." Now she planned a treachery. He said to her: "Is there any water here?" "The day the Targui took me off we found some in that pass." They arrived at the well.
In the "straith" is a hatchway, which opens by machinery, through which the waggon descends with a man in it, who, when it arrives over the hold, unfastens a catch which secures the bottom of the waggon; this being made to turn upon hinges, like a trap door when opened, the whole of the coal is poured into the hold.
"Yes: I know, I know." "Oh! we cannot sit down. We have to call at twenty houses yet." "Come now, you are not going to run away at once!" And then the visitors finished by sitting down on the edge of a couch; the chatter beginning again, shriller than ever. "Well! what do you think of yesterday at the Vaudeville?" "Oh! it was splendid!" "You know she unfastens her dress and lets down her hair.
She goes through the stables and unfastens the cattle and lets them out into the fields. She goes straight into men's hearts and gladdens them. She makes it difficult for the best-behaved boy to sit still on his bench at school and occasions a terrible lot of mistakes in the exercise-books. But she does not do this all at once.
Suddenly there was a slight noise outside and then, to their great relief, the unmistakable sound of footfalls on the planks above them, softened by the thick carpet of matted vine. "Sh-h, don't speak!" Tom whispered, his heart beating rapidly. "Wait till she unfastens it or says something." For a few seconds a minute they waited in breathless suspense.
Next day he regaled his fellow workers with elaborate recitals of his holiday hours. "Believe me, that kid's a caution. Sixteen months old, and what does he do yesterday? He unfastens the ketch on the back-porch gate. We got a gate on the back porch, see." I come home, and the wife says to me: 'Say, you better get busy and fix a new ketch on that gate to the back porch.
Then he unties whatever is tied in the house or its vicinity. In the courtyard he takes the axe out of the log in which it is stuck; he unfastens the boat, if it is moored to a tree, he withdraws the cartridges from his gun, and the arrows from his crossbow.
Some of the days have been intensely hot, but the British Tommy unfastens his coat and leaves his shirt open at the chest, and with the sun bronzing his face to a deeper, richer tint, marches on, singing a cockney ballad as though he were on the road to Weybridge or Woking.
Some of the men in the hotel have tried to play what they call "a joke" on me. The steward of the house has a key which unfastens the lock on my door, as well as others; so they went into my room and tied a string to the foot of my bed, first boring a hole through the boards into the hall, and running the string through it.
After all, cook," turning to that portly matron, "I think I'm tired to-day. Suppose you make this jam; and I can make some more some other time." As she says this, she unfastens both the aprons and flings them far from her, and pulls down her sleeves over her pretty white arms, to Gower's everlasting regret, who cannot take his eyes off them, and to whom they are a "joy forever."
