He had found the Jukes very agreeable people, at any rate, and he believed that his stay with them would be most pleasant. Having reached the old pine, he sat down upon the sand and bent forward to unlace his shoes. His attention, however, was suddenly arrested by the sound of violin music to his left. That it was no amateur who was playing he was well aware, but one skilled in the art.
His tone was contemptuous, his voice was jarring, not yet having developed a man's fullness. Siegmund put on his slipper, and began to unlace the other boot. The slurring of the lace through the holes and the snacking of the tag seemed unnecessarily loud. It annoyed his wife. She took a breath to speak, then refrained, feeling suddenly her daughter's scornful restraint upon her.
Kimbal rescued them, separated them, folded them neatly, and stowed them under the seat. Saterlee made no comment. He was thinking of the state of a shirt that he had had on since early morning, and was wondering how, with his elbows pressed very tightly to his sides, he could possibly manage to unlace his boots. He made one or two tentative efforts. But Mrs.

"And I've made you unlace me, Captain, when you thought I was croaking, and it was all I could do to keep from snickering in your face." "What do you think, Doc?" Warden Atherton asked. "I tell you the heart action is splendid," was the answer. "Of course it is weak. That is only to be expected. I tell you Hutchins is right. The man is feigning."

We could not go into any shop, except the foreign book stores, because we were too dirty and had no time to unlace our shoes even if we wanted to wear out our silk stockings.
