"Ah!... But if you had not come!" "It was fortunate, wasn't it?" she remarked. "I did not know you were in here. I was going up to the corral and heard the rattle as I came past. It was so faint that I might not have noticed it, had not Kid told of killing the rattler yesterday." Ashton stared fearfully at his blackening hand. Isobel smiled and began to unknot the neckerchief.
The string was tied so tightly that I could not unknot it. I drew my knife and cut it, and the oil-skin unrolled of itself. The first thing I came across was a letter from Bryce addressed to the two of us. It was not contained in an envelope, but seemed to have been slipped in as an after-thought. It ran: Dear Moira and Dear Jimmy,
He thought that, if they could unknot themselves and cover more ground, both he and his brother, Bob Cecil, had great futures. LORD SALISBURY: "It is curious you should ask me this. I heard him for the first time this afternoon." MARGOT: "Where did you hear him? And what was he speaking about?" LORD SALISBURY: "I heard him at Grosvenor House. I think...or some such thing. ..."
I looked at the sun, which truly was not very high, with a secret disquietude; for I had had a scurvy hope that after all I should be too late, and so the noose which I felt tightening about my neck might unknot itself. Wind and tide were against me, and an hour later saw me nearing the peninsula and marveling at the shipping which crowded its waters.
He was struggling furiously, and would soon have shaken them off, when the other boys sprang to their assistance. "You help them, Jim. I will get this cord off!" Fullarton said and, running to the bed, began to unknot the cord that bound the admiral.
So then of course we knew. 'Knew what? 'Why, that the milk was bewitched. We took the rope away. Well, that very day more butter came at the churning, and from that time on, more, but still not so much as ought by rights to have come. Then, one day, I thought to unknot the rope, and I undid, and undid, and undid. Well, when I had got it undone, that day the butter came as it should!
To unravel a ball of yarn, with which kittens have been making cobwebs, has always seemed to me a much easier task than to unknot the tangled skein of confused influences, that trip up our feet at every step in life's path.
"We want to go after him and his gang," said Dick. "We ought not to lose a minute doing it." "Can you walk, Dick?" "I guess so, although being tied up made me rather stiff." "I see your wrist is bleeding." "Yes, and I tried pretty hard to free myself." "And I tried, too," added Sam. "But I couldn't budge a single knot." "We could not unknot the knots," added Tom, who was bound to have his joke.
He was looking at the portrait of Aline. It was she, herself to the letter; her pure profile, her mocking and kindly mouth, and the long curl like a caress on the delicate neck. Felicia had ceased to exist for him. Poor Felicia, endowed with superior talents, she was indeed like those magicians who knot and unknot the destinies of men, without possessing any power over their own happiness.
Despite the tarpaulins the wet found its way in and soaked us to the skin, so that with daylight we were glad to make preparations for returning to Kiukiang. The awning we took in, but the lashings of the tarpaulins which covered the hood were so tightened by moisture that it was impossible to unknot them, and so the structure was left standing.
