In London that night poor Henderson's telegram describing the gradual unscrewing of the shot was judged to be a canard, and his evening paper, after wiring for authentication from him and receiving no reply the man was killed decided not to print a special edition. Even within the five-mile circle the great majority of people were inert.
He seated him with his back against the mound, and then, while he was unscrewing the top of a whiskey flask, Shirley began to swear again in a most violent and rapid way. "He has gone mad," thought the captain. "The sight of all that gold has crazed him." "Stop that," he said to the other, "and take a drink." Shirley broke off a string of oaths in the middle, and took a pull at the flask.
Five minutes had not elapsed between the time the animals were shut up and the unscrewing of their prison lid. Ardan, Barbicane, Maston, and Nicholl were upon the vessel, and they assisted at the operation with a sentiment of interest easy to understand.
God bless my soul!" -and without a word in confirmation or denial of his blatant observations, she managed to slip gradually out of the drawing-room to the hall and from thence to the carriage drive, where she found, as she thought she would, Lord Charlemont looking tenderly into the mechanism of his motor-car, unscrewing this, peering into that, and generally hanging round the vehicle with a fatuous lover's enthusiasm.
"Now what mischief was Hadley up to this time?" she asks. And Martha sticks to it that it was nothing at all. He merely found that old plant-sprayer and discovered that by unscrewing the nozzle it made a fine squirt gun.

"Very good; well, what were you unscrewing the nut for?" "Wha-at?" "Drop that 'wha-at' and answer the question; what were you unscrewing the nut for?" "If I hadn't wanted it I shouldn't have unscrewed it," croaks Denis, looking at the ceiling. "What did you want that nut for?" "The nut? We make weights out of those nuts for our lines." "Who is 'we'?"
They should be made thick, have strong feathers upon them, and be very securely bolted down with split pins at the points of the bolts, to prevent them from unscrewing. The plate will be very apt to be broken should some of the bolts become loose. Of course all the bolts and split pins, as well as the plates and guards, must be of brass.
However, nothing unduly outrageous happened till last night, when Adrian had a fit of insomnia and amused himself by unscrewing and transposing all the bedroom numbers on his floor.
"No no," cried Kennedy, "Not here take her up where the air is fresher." With his revolver still drawn to overawe the prisoner, the policeman forced him to aid us in carrying her up the rickety flight of cellar steps. Kennedy followed quickly, unscrewing the oxygen helmet as he went. In the deserted living room we deposited our senseless burden, while Kennedy, the helmet off now, bent over her.
T. X. shrugged his shoulders, and carefully unscrewing the instrument he had employed and replacing it in the case, he returned it to his inside pocket. "It was at your invitation, my dear Monsieur Kara," he said suavely.
