They never stray far from camp." Bartley watched Cheyenne untwist a piece of soft rope and make a pair of serviceable hobbles. "Now he'll travel easy and git enough grass to keep him in shape. And them hobbles won't burn him. Any time you're shy of hobbles, that's how to make 'em."
But oh, they are termagants in conjunction! like fiddlers who are rogues when they go single, and joined in consort, gentlemen musicianers. I care not much if I untwist my committee-man, and so give him the receipt of this grand Catholicon.
It was hard work that descent, for he could not slide on account of the knots; and, to make his position more awkward, the rope began to untwist one line from the other, and, in consequence, as the boy descended slowly, he bore no small resemblance to a leg of mutton turning before a fire.
But the chain was stretched straight and stiff as a lance, she could not untwist it. She was still struggling, with pink fingers bruised and rust-stained, when something heavy crashed through the saplings and a voice cried close to her: "Drop it! What are you doing?" and a hand fell on the chain. Betty, at bay, raised her head.
He had first to untwist a piece of rope, then to divide it into small strands, and to twist them up again by means of a winch, which he manufactured like those he had seen on board. The string was much thicker than he wished to make it, but he could not otherwise give it sufficient strength. At last that was finished, and fitted to the bow. He had still the arrows to make.
I was too tired to untwist my hair, and I pulled and dragged at my dress, which seemed to have a hundred fastenings. Creeping into bed, I perceived the odor of flowers, and looking at my table discovered a bunch of white roses. "Roses are nonsense, and life is nonsense," I thought. When I opened my eyes, Alice was standing by the bed, with a glass of roses in her hand.
"You think they had got over first?" "It looked that way. They told the boy to pull out of his coat. He got his arms out, started to untwist the coat, stuck his fingers with the barbs, and tumbled over into the factory yard." "And then?" pressed Dave eagerly. "H'm! I went to sleep." "What! not knowing but what they were burglars?" "Boss, I never mix up with other people's business, good or bad."
It appears just severed from the body, and cast on the damp pavement of a cavern: a deadly paleness covers the countenance, and the mouth exhales a pestilential vapour: the snakes, which fill almost the whole picture, beginning to untwist their folds; one or two seemed already crept away, and crawling up the rock in company with toads and other venomous reptiles.
Alice crouched down among the trees as well as she could, for her neck kept getting entangled among the branches, and every now and then she had to stop and untwist it.
"Yes," said Margaret, standing up and glancing over her left shoulder at the soft folds of maroon-colored stuff, which, with a mysterious feminine movement of the foot, she caused to untwist itself and flow out gracefully behind her. There was really something very pretty in the hesitating lines of the tall, slender figure, as she leaned back that way.
