"No, I think not; mine leks are fery vell, but I fear mine lunks are gone," answered the German, untying his belt. It was found, however, on examination, that the lungs were all right, the bull's horn having merely grazed the poor man's ribs.
He could ease off the noose with his teeth, but it would be a slow process of escape. As soon as Phil had her victim fast, she rushed back into the sitting room. She found Eleanor on her feet, engaged in untying the handkerchief from Lillian's face and cutting the twine that was bound about her swollen wrists. "I've caught the enemy and he is ours," declared Phil cheerfully.
Here he was told the legend, which all the natives believed, that whoever untied that knot was destined to become lord of all the world. Most historians say that as the knot was tied with a strap whose ends could not be found, and was very complicated and intricate, Alexander, despairing of untying it, drew his sword and cut through the knot, thus making many ends appear.
"I heard voices," she said, walking into the sitting-room. "Sadie here?" The parson had stepped forward, more bent than usual, for he was peering down into her face. "Mary Ellen!" he exclaimed. The little woman looked up at him very sadly, Isabel thought. "Yes, William," she answered. But she was untying her bonnet, and she did not offer to shake hands.
The plot was of course still more indifferent, loose, and absurd than in the harlequinade; if it was only sufficiently chequered, the public did not ask why it laughed, and did not remonstrate with the poet, who instead of untying the knot cut it to pieces.
Adele seemed scarcely to need the warning she had already retired to a sofa with her treasure, and was busy untying the cord which secured the lid. Having removed this impediment, and lifted certain silvery envelopes of tissue paper, she merely exclaimed "Oh ciel! Que c'est beau!" and then remained absorbed in ecstatic contemplation.
"Aye, who knows," he replied, "we too, may go there some day," and dismounting, he began to loosen his saddle girths. "The gods forbid!" answered José, making the sign of the cross, as if to ward off the influence of some evil spell. "I do not understand you Americanos," he continued, also dismounting and untying a small pack at the back of his saddle.
Carr handed her into the rowboat with ceremony she swept him a courtesy. Her apron and manners were charmingly incongruous. When she was gracefully seated in the stern Mr. Carr turned for a moment, stared all Oyster Bay calmly in the face through his monocle, then, untying the painter, fairly skipped into the boat with a step distinctly frolicsome.
"Undo him then, and be ," growled the skipper and rolled off to drink himself drunk. "I doubt he's well-nigh done for him already," said Roberts, quickly untying Eric's hands, round which the cords had been pulled so tight as to leave two blue rings round his wrists.
The horse did not stir. Dorothy thought he just wiggled one of his drooping ears, but that was all. "Gid-dap!" called the boy, again. The horse stood still. "Perhaps," said Dorothy, "if you untied him, he would go." The boy laughed cheerfully and jumped out. "Guess I'm half asleep yet," he said, untying the horse.
