He wasted half an hour trying to untie a knot, hunted for a package of papers which were finally found in their proper place, had a vexing ten minutes with his office key, etc.
The trouble they had with their gigantic captive, the difficulty they anticipated in disposing of him, and their belief that he was a good Mussulman, were arguments in favour of granting his request, and setting him at liberty. It was therefore decided to let him go, on the conditions of his taking his departure at once. Golah consented; and they proceeded to untie his hands.
"We seem to have struck camp at last," remarked the professor to Andy. "I wonder what they are going to do with us now." "The least they could do would be to untie us and give us a good meal," growled the old hunter, who was stiff from being bound so long on the sled. "Who said dinner?" broke in Washington from his sled. "I jest wish I had a chicken pot-pie!"
Hanway-Harley, and that lady, being armored to the teeth, in the name of comfort had retired to her own apartments with a purpose to unloose what buttons and remove what pins and untie what strings stood between her and a great bodily relief.

They faced each other, and were evidently discussing mirthfully how the obstacle was to be met. The man stooped to untie the shoes, his pockets bulging with the day's luncheon; but suddenly the woman backed away and began to climb the fence, a difficult feat. The man lumbered after her, catching one shoe in the top rail, finally freeing himself.

They pottered about in the boat for a while, talking make-believe out-on-the-ocean talk, hauling sails and working the helm. Turly was captain, and Terry had to be the entire crew.
