He said he guessed he could untangle matters. Out of the kindness of his heart he had thought the rehearsals of "Salome" were too fatiguing for Miss Garden, and so got assistance for her. After a three or four days' operatic war, in which literally columns of printers' ink was shed, the entente cordiale was resumed, and the song-birds became doves of peace again.
Mamma Bee loved her, she well knew, yet Mary Louise had never enjoyed the same affectionate intercourse with her mother that she had with her grandfather, for Mamma Bee's whole life seemed to center around the old Colonel. This unusual devotion was proof enough to Mary Louise that her grandfather was innocent, but it did not untangle the maze.
It is no wonder, then, that it has been found necessary to establish a school for telephone girls where they can be taught how to untangle the snarl and handle the vast, complicated system. In these schools the operators go through a regular course lasting a month.
I do not now, and never did know, how I got out of the general's tent, whether he kicked me out, or threw his trunk at me, or whether there was an explosion, but when I got outside there were two soldiers trying to untangle me from the guy ropes of the general's tent, his wash basin and pail of water were tipped over, and a cord that was strung outside with a lot of uniforms, shirts, sabers, etc., had fallen down, and the general was walking up and down his tent in an excited manner, calling me an escaped lunatic, and telling the guards to tie me up by the thumbs, and buck and gag me.
"Well, the evening's off to a good start," Sandy said with a happy laugh as they headed back along the lakeshore road to the yacht club. "Hope I didn't put away too much fried chicken to sashay properly at the square dance," Bud remarked. Tom chuckled. "Don't worry, pal. You always untangle those feet of yours when the fiddle strikes up!"
I suggested, with an attempt at lightness. Peter nodded his head. "I've been wondering how long you're going to wait," he observed, apparently as much to himself as to me. "Wait for what?" I inquired. "For what you call your mix-up to untangle," was his answer. "There's nothing for me to do but to wait," I reminded him. He shook his head in dissent.
It seems too preposterous perfectly lurid that I could have been going to tell you what a tangle I'd got myself in, and to ask you to help untangle me. I must choke in the infernal coil, but I'd like to have the sweetness of your pity in it whatever it is." She put out her hand. "Whatever it is, I do pity you; I said that." "Thank you." He kissed the band she gave him and went.
Now, I've no objection to 'em, only that they ought to work grown folks an' not children. They may kill me if they can," she laughed, "I am grown, an' can stan' it, but I can't bear to think of 'em killin' my little brothers an' sisters they're entitled to live until they get grown anyway." She stopped to cough and to show Helen how to untangle some threads.
To this neither Rondel nor Henderson had an answer. "See here," said Uncle John, "I'll untangle this matter in a jiffy. Here is money; give it to the woman and tell her to get out or we'll eject her by force." The woman grabbed the money eagerly, but after placing it in an ample pocket she said: "I will go no place but Dunkirk. I will not leave you until you take me there."
The Great White Bear sat down and tried to untangle the little hard knots, but his tail was so short, and the place where his tail fur was tangled was so hard to reach that the Great White Bear could not untangle his tail fur, and he kept getting angrier every minute, and at last he became so furious that he rushed from his cave and began tearing the woods to pieces to find the Little Gray Mouse.
