But food he must have. So he had dug some worms and put them in one of his trick cans and then proceeded to untangle the line. Having secured an unknotted length of five or six feet he equipped this with a fish-hook of his own manufacture and sallied forth toward the river. He was not only hungry, but sleepy, and it never occurred to him that this was the exorbitant price of four cigarettes.
He felt it tugging at the line while he unknotted the tangle. While he was doing this Maisanguaq saw the beast rise to the surface of the water not far from Ootah and describe a quick circle about his kayak. Before he realized it, the leather line had wrapped itself about his chest and under his arms. It took but a minute for the animal to circle the boat then it plunged.
Rosemary nervously knotted and unknotted her handkerchief. Her blue eyes roved around the familiar room and came back to the grim face and the dark eyes which watched her relentlessly. "Oh, Hugh!" she cried desperately, "PLEASE!" Her brother picked up a paper weight and studied it intently.
The air is growing chilly." He shook out the coat and threw it around her. "Oh, thank you," she murmured gratefully, slipping her arms into the sleeves. "And this box has some kind of a hat, I hope," he went on. "I ought to have looked, but there really wasn't time." He unknotted the strings and produced a large picture hat with long black plumes. He was relieved to find it black.
Perkins's gift, and Jim dropped laughingly on the grass. "Of course. Let's see what's in it." Gravely she seated herself beside him and unknotted the square of white. It contained three little handkerchiefs with pink borders, a small bottle of particularly strong scent, and a string of beads remotely resembling coral.
Peggy, in an effort to show off heavily before Francis, came a cropper over a stool at his feet, pulling Marjorie down in her fall; both of them laughing like children as they fell, so that they could scarcely disentangle themselves, and had to be unknotted by Francis.
But when he unknotted the halter and backed her out of the stable, quite involuntarily he ran a tender hand down her sleek neck. He sighed as he led her out of the rear door. The old mare hung back, stretching first one hind leg and then the other as old horses do when first they come from the stall in the morning.
"No," he said, "it ain't possible. Besides, what Kate says may be true. She ought to know she says he'll wait for Mac Strann. I didn't think of that; I thought I was savin' Dan from another well, what a damn fool I been!" He unknotted his bandana and with it mopped his face to a semblance of cleanliness. "It was the ridin' that done it," he explained, shame-faced.
There is, of course, not very much plot, in the martinet sense of that word: there never was in Richardson, despite his immense apparatus and elaboration. The story is not knotted and unknotted; the wheel does not come full circle on itself; it merely runs along pleasantly till it is time for it to stop, and it stops rather abruptly.
"What is the matter with your eye?" she asked, in order to break the silence. He laid aside his hat, and his ragged hair, quite white, fell to his shoulders. By way of answer, he unknotted the bloodstained dusky handkerchief, and looked up at her. The hidden eye was uninjured and as bright as the other. "Nothing," he answered, and he confirmed the statement by a low-born wink.
