Why, a big, ugly snake was twined around it, just as a grapevine twines around the clothes-post. “Hello, there!” cried Grandpa. “You don’t need that toadstool at all, Mr. Snake, for water won’t hurt you. I want it for Nellie Chip-Chip, so kindly unwind yourself from it.”
In fact, if he knew the exact truth, he might take a reasonable offer for The Dutchman." Langdon nodded approvingly. He loved his subtle master; cards up his sleeves tingled his nerves, and loaded dice were a joy for evermore. Crane proceeded to unwind the silken cord.
"Oh I don't suppose anything. Good-bye mater." "I think it so splendid of you to go, to turn your back on temptation, to unwind yourself from that wretched girl's coils." "Coils?"

'You young scoundrel! how dare you show your face, after such an audacious piece of impudence! You're the plague of the parish, and a good thrashing is what you will get, sure as my name's Jonathan Green!

While we were so waiting one of the deck passengers below us, a Somali in white clothes and a gorgeous cerise turban, decided to turn in. He spread a square of thin matting atop one of the hatches, and began to unwind yards and yards of the fine silk turban.
"Oh, when you've done it once it'll be all easy and clear," said Droop, soothingly. Phoebe looked hopefully into his face. "Will you take us, Mr. Droop?" she asked. "Oh, I s'pose I'll hev to." "An' only unwind six years?" "Yes jest six years." She jumped up excitedly. "Then I'll be off to my packin'!" She ran to the door and, pausing here, turned again to their visitor.
"Two hundred feet," was the answer. Eagles and Foxes gathered and broke into clamorous discussion. How should the wire be measured? Don gathered his patrol and took it to one side. "Andy has a fifty-foot tape. We'll measure as we unwind. Bobbie, you stay here and hold this end. Come on, fellows." Into the dense growth of trees they wormed their way.
Buddhi-Mati, though her hands shook and her heart beat fast as she realized all that depended on her, kept the silk from becoming entangled; and when it was nearly all unwound, she heard her husband's voice saying to her: "Now tie the cotton thread to the end of the silk that you hold, and let it gradually unwind." She obeyed, fully understanding now what all these preparations were for.

In any case, as I was just about to tell Miss Penny for the benefit of her criminal friend, there would be lots of red tape to unwind before they could do anything, and this little isle of Sark is the quaintest place in the world in the matter of its own old observances and their integrity, and the rejection of new ideas.

He says his first wife was so different, 'n' he says it's just been shock after shock, 'n' two shocks when the twins come. Little Jane caught her dress in a wheel while we was talkin', 'n' we had to turn her 'n' the express-wagon both upside down 't once afore we could unwind it, 'n' while we was doin' that, one o' the twins fell out o' the carriage.
