"No, I'll do it," said Tom sturdily; and going cautiously to work he unknotted the rope and drew it away, the donkey lying quite motionless. "Now, then, Sol, get up!" cried Tom. The donkey drew his legs together, leaped to his feet, shook himself till his ears seemed to rattle, and uttered a sound like a groan. "He is beaten now," said Dick. "Come and put on the pad and well go.
The door had been flung open, and a queer little procession entered. First of all came Grant, followed by a footman leading Peter Phipps by the arm. Phipps' hands were tied together. A gag in the form of a respirator covered his mouth. Cords which had apparently only just been unknotted were around each leg. He had the expression, of a man completely dazed.
"Here, add this to your collection," and he took a small French clock from the writing-table, a pretty, gilded toy from Paris. "Thank you, mon capitaine." Barlasch, with shaking fingers, unknotted the rope around his shoulders. As he was doing so one of the clocks on his back began to strike. He paused, and stood looking gravely at his superior officer.
His face had unknotted, the turmoil of little lines scattering. "Aw!" he said. "Good old tub, Teenie! Good old Big Tent!" A layer of tears sprang across Miss Hoag's glance and, suddenly gaining rush, ran down over her lashes. She dashed at them. "I'm human, Baron. Maybe you don't know it, but I'm human."

The moon rose; then the cithara and the flute began to play together. Salammbo unfastened her earrings, her necklace, her bracelets, and her long white simar; she unknotted the band in her hair, shaking the latter for a few minutes softly over her shoulders to cool herself by thus scattering it.
With an arm behind her neck, one hand clasped in the other, and her elbows far apart, she was throwing back her head so that he could see a foreshortened reflection of her half-closed eyes, her parted lips, her face clothed with amorous laughter. Her masses of yellow hair were unknotted behind, and they covered her back with the fell of a lioness.
Then he sat in silence, thought, and prayer that the tangle might be so unknotted, that God not be offended nor his own friends and sons slighted and alienated.
My father smiled and then unknotted the bright blue silk neckerchief he wore, and accompanied it with a hearty shake of the hand. "Thank you, captain," he said warmly. "And you merci. We go to war some day. Who know I may be prisonaire. I may come to fight against you, and then. Eh bien, ve fight, but you take me prisonaire, ma foi. I am vis ze shentleman, and it is good."
What business has a wife to come and see her husband without the ring on her finger? Nancy turned from him, opened the front of her dress, unknotted a string of silk, and showed her finger bright with the golden circlet. 'That's how I must wear it, except when I am with you. I keep touching to make sure it's there. Tarrant kissed her fingers.
I took the ribbon from her and put it to my lips, then unknotted it and tied it around my arm; and then, wearing my wife's colors, I went softly out into the street, and turned my face toward the guest house and the man whom I meant to kill. THE door of the guest house stood wide, and within the lower room were neither men that drank nor men that gave to drink.
