What was his surprise, his horror, when, on raising the head and unlacing the helm of the knight, he found that his adversary was none other than Maria! Conrad, she said in failing tones, I also am to blame. Without thy love life was nothing to me, and I resolved to die by thy hand. Forget my folly, remember only that I loved thee. Farewell! And with these words she expired.
The light burned clear, the noise went on. This time, however, he did not ask Tom what he might or might not do, but dropped on his knees by his bedside to open his heart to Him who heareth the cry of the tender child, or the strong man. Tom was unlacing his boots with his back towards Arthur, and looked up in wonder at the sudden silence.
He stood, leaning his head on his arms in the saddle, waiting, until after what seemed an age she slipped out of the darkness, almost into his arms, standing pale, her fingers lacing and unlacing the girl who had kissed him once to say good-by. "Will Banion!" she whispered. "Yes, I sent for you. I felt you'd find the letter." "Yes, Molly." It was long before he would look at her.
They were all thrown into confusion by Luscinda's fainting, and as her mother was unlacing her to give her air a sealed paper was discovered in her bosom which Don Fernando seized at once and began to read by the light of one of the torches.
Lightly he set his fingers against her softly pulsing throat; it was cold, like ice. Plainly she was chilled through. As he began unlacing her boots a curiously bitter thought came to him.

Gates and Tommy were busily unlacing the canvas cover from our brass cannon. While it was only used for signaling, it could make a stunning racket.
The young woman had already taken off her wreath and her dress, and she was in her petticoat, unlacing her boots, while Jean was finishing his cigar, and looking at her out of the corners of his eyes. It was an ardent look, more sensual than tender, for he felt more desire than love for her, and suddenly with a brusque movement, like a man who is going to set to work, he took off his coat.
"Look for yourself, My Lord Earl," replied the girl removing the helm, which she had been unlacing from the fallen man. "Edward?" he ejaculated. "But no, it cannot be, I did but yesterday leave Edward in Dover." "I know not who he be," said Joan de Tany, "except that he be the most marvelous fighter and the bravest man it has ever been given me to see.
Jack and Hal, however, were satisfied that their captors knew nothing of the great sum of money they had collected. "And, while I think of it, Dan," continued Owen, "ye know where to leave them boys' shoes. Ye know who they'll fit." Josh Owens started by unlacing Jack's shoes roughly and hauling them off. As he did so, oven in the darkness, he saw something fall the ground.
Yes I will." She rang the bell, bustled out of the room, called for tea at the staircase, came back, pulled out Madam Gadow's ungainly hassock and began unlacing his boot. Lewisham's mood changed.
