Tied myself up in a string of lies and now they have me tight. So help me, Anse, if I ever get this unsnarled, I’m never goin’ to open my mouth again to say more’n ’yes’ or ’no’!" The Texan laughed. "You ain’t never been one to color up a story redder’n a Navajo blanket!
Camden twisted his collar; he felt as if he were choking. "Heaven forbid!" was all he could manage. "I want woods and the open! I want a character with a little, twisted, unawakened soul to be unsnarled and made to behave itself. I don't mind being a bit naughty if I can be spanked into decorum.
When the office machinery needed mental oiling, when a new hand demanded to be put on silk-work instead of mercerized, when a consignment of skirt-material turned out to be more than usually metallic, it was in Mrs. Emma McChesney's little private office that the tangle was unsnarled. She walked into that little office, now, at nine o'clock of a brilliant September morning.
Twice I have seen cedar-birds, in their quest for nesting-material, trying to carry away the strings that orioles had attached to branches. According to our sentimental "School of Nature Study," the birds should have untied and unsnarled the strings in a human way, but they did not; they simply tugged at them, bringing their weight to bear, and tried to fly away with the loose end.
With vigorous jerks and pulls he unsnarled the writhing mass, boy by boy, each one of whom, upon catching sight of his face, slunk hurriedly away, as if glad to escape so lightly. There was left finally upon the ground only David alone. But when David did at last appear, the little girl burst into tears anew. "Oh, Jack, he's killed I know he's killed," she wailed.
The woman seized a stick, and belabored the belligerents with great vigor; but the fight continued, in spite of her, until several women interfered, and dragged the cart of the idlers, clogs and all, out of the reach of the others. The driver, after severely whipping her charge, unsnarled their rigging, and went on her way.
He lit a wax match to give him light for the choosing of the right amount, from the roll of bills which he drew forth. The chauffeur whistled with surprise at the size of the denominations. The twenty-five were handed over. "Thanks very much, my friend," and the face unsnarled itself, into the amiable lines of the normal. The voice was agreeable and smooth, which surprised the man the more.
"So here we all are, on a piece of paper pledged to victory or death," Reynolds laughed. "Anyhow, we're out of a rut." Nelsen figured that that was the thing about Charlie Reynolds. Some might not like him, entirely. But he could get the Bunch unsnarled and in motion. Old Paul Hendricks had come back from waiting on some casual customers in the store. "Want to sign, too, Paul?" Reynolds chuckled.
Turning quickly he hunted about the room until he found what he sought a quantity of the rope that lay strewn here and there. With rapid fingers he unsnarled the different lengths, the girl helping him, and then he tied the ends together until he had three ropes about seventy-five feet in length.
Leon had recognized the opportunity as one by which to capture what was left of Jared's independence, and rose to the emergency. "Leave it to me," he said. "Everything will be blooming to-morrow like like a garden er Eden." So now Isa had only Joyce's sore little heart to deal with. "Come, girl," she began at last; "tears never yet unsnarled a knot. Be you, or be you not, going to marry Jude?"
