"I would do it for you only on condition you come to live with me at Port Sullivan," Aaron concluded; "and also you must give me, to take care of it for you, all the cash money you get for the house." Uncle Mosha frowned as he drew from his pocket a small packet wrapped in newspaper. This he proceeded to unwrap until there was exposed the unburnt half of a large black cigar.
"Now, sir," added I, taking the turban again, "observe well before I unwrap it, that it is of no very fresh date in the tree; and the state in which you see it, and the nest so neatly made in it, without having been touched by the hand of man, are sufficient proofs that the vulture drops or laid it in the tree upon the day it was seized; and that the branches hindered it from falling to the ground.
Then he began slowly to unwrap the newspaper from the bundle: there were five layers of it, but at length he disclosed a bolt of cardinal cloth. "Call this to mind, Cynthy?" "Yes," she answered with a smile. "H-how's this for the dress, Mr. Painter-man?" said Jethro, with a pride that was ill-concealed. The painter started up from his seat and took the material in his hands and looked at Cynthia.
"Taking scalps is not all the fun it's supposed to be, is it?" asked Mame Welch. "The taking is all right. The taking back is what hurts my feelings." Azzie sighed deeply as she began to unwrap the paper about the false fronts. "I don't know whether I'll have the courage to lay them inside her door or not.

I unpacked my trunks without assistance; my wife unpacked hers.

Unable to secure any response to her repeated calls for the maid, my wife was nearly reduced to tears.

I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first."
At the call of the field-cricket, the herald of the spring, the germs that slumber in nymph or chrysalis have broken through their spell.

Turning once more to the bureau, the Girl took out a small parcel done up in tissue paper and began to unwrap it.
