Up the ladder scrambled the two gray-haired men, the officer and two of the sailors with their hands on their revolvers. Mr. Farnam folded his arms and stood looking at his niece. "So," he said nodding his head slowly. With a sigh her arms unwound from Carlyle's neck, and her eyes, transfigured and far away, fell upon the boarding party.
She felt that the spite of her three very near neighbors was really a matter to laugh over, and the spleen of Florence Hallman a joke. But for all that she gave Andy Green one last warning when he climbed up to the spring seat of the wagon and unwound the lines from the brake-handle, ready to drive back to his own work.
Turning, I saw that the plain-faced woman had unwound her comforter, and now I could see, hanging low on her chest, an immense lump wrapped in clean white linen and bound up with a gaudy yellow handkerchief. It was a goître. "Iss, my dears," she answered, touching it and smiling, but with tears in her eyes; "this here's my only child, an' iver will be.
For as I incautiously laid down my gun for a moment to place my hands under the arms of the moaning hypocrite who had begged me to assist him, the rascal flung his arms and legs round me, pinning me in a grip that for the moment held me helpless, and dragged me to the ground, rolling over on top of me, while the other, springing with equal suddenness into vigorous life and activity, also flung himself upon me and held me face downward in the sandy soil while his comrade swiftly bound my hands behind my back with the long silken sash which he had rapidly unwound from his waist.
Each section as it is unwound from the roll is numbered by a perforated machine, to save the unnecessary handling that would otherwise be caused if one had to wade through all the small sections to join in the original lengths in which they are received.
"Roger, Roger, there he is," whispered Harry in great excitement. "Quick, quick! unwind that silk from your finger, and Where can we find anything to tie on the end for a weight?" he added. Roger unwound the silk as fast as he knew how, and Harry desperately searched every nook and cranny of the cell for something to secure to the end.

Lloyd glanced up. "Yes; although I haven't the slightest idea what it can be." A faint, delicious odor stole out as Mary unwound the veil, an odor of sandalwood, that to her was always suggestive of the "Arabian Nights," of beautiful Oriental things, and of hidden treasures in secret panels of old castles. "I've hunted for that box high and low!" cried Lloyd, reaching forward to take it.
Follow this ball of thread to the lake behind the castle. When you reach the lake at midday, the ball will be unwound. In a few minutes more the daughters of the cruel Giant of Loch Lein will come to the lake to bathe. Their names are Blue Lily, White Lily, and Yellow Lily. The latter is the wisest and most beautiful of the three.
No, not even the Mahabharata when Kouro fought Pandu." Then spoke up a subadar of the Pioneers, a tall Sikh with his beard curled like the ancient Assyrians.
