Or rather, how shall I forgive you for keeping it from me all these years? I see that you acquired it in 1863 and I never knew! I must tell you that I looked upon it with suspicion when I unwrapped it a suspicion that the title did not allay. For I recalled the last time you gave me a book the year before I came here. That book, my friend, was "Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia."
She went to the garden gate to meet them, and saw at once by Blanche's tear-stained face that something was wrong. They told her what they wanted, and she invited them in without hesitation, taking them straight to the kitchen, where a bright fire was blazing. Alan unwrapped poor Curly, and Mrs.
They went upstairs together; and as Electra unlocked and bent over a large square trunk, her companion noticed a peculiar curl about the lines of the mouth, and a heavy scowl on the broad brow. "I want to show you the only bright, shining face I ever painted." She unwrapped an oval portrait, placed it on the mantelpiece, and, stepping back, fixed her gaze on Irene.
"Sure, an' an inch thick. It's a peach. Look at it." He unwrapped the steak and held it up for the other's inspection. Then he made the coffee and set the table, while Matt fried the steak. "Don't put on too much of them red peppers," Jim warned. "I ain't used to your Mexican cookin'. You always season too hot." Matt grunted a laugh and went on with his cooking.
Just then I heard a key in the lock, and Kennedy came in. "Is your name Bruce?" I asked. "Why?" he replied eagerly. "Has anything come?" I pointed to the package. Kennedy made a dive for it and unwrapped it. It was a woman's pongee automobile-coat. He held it up to the light. The pocket on the right-hand side was scorched and burned, and a hole was torn clean through it.
The rousing out of Barker consisted of Stacy's lifting that young gentleman bodily from his bunk and standing him upright in the open doorway. But Barker was accustomed to this Spartan process, and after a moment's balancing with closed lids like an unwrapped mummy, he sat down in the doorway and began to dress.
She looked steadily at the words of that Friend in heaven whom she loved and wished to obey; and then it seemed to Daisy that she cared nothing at all about anything but pleasing him. "Miss Daisy " said June, "Miss Nora is come." Away went Daisy, with a bound, to the dressing-room; and carried Nora off, as soon as she was unwrapped from her mufflings, to see the preparations in the library.
His ears had been stretched by many huge ornaments, and the cartilage of his nose was torn and ragged where the chances of battle had pulled out rings and spikes. His eager eyes gazed up at me out of a face stiffened and set with elephantiasis, and by his mat lay, unwrapped from their fiber coverings, that they might comfort his passing spirit, two excellently preserved negroid heads.
She tried on all the ornaments, and then, after awhile, when she had admired them to her heart's content, she took up the silk-covered package, and curiously unwrapped it. When she saw what it contained, however, her face grew radiant with delight, and "Ah!" she exclaimed to herself, "King Louis's gifts are indeed princely, and this one is the most royal of all!"
He unwrapped his mummies and deciphered his moldering papyri, living far more in ancient Egypt than in modern Washington. The Great War and its demands upon the youth of the world left the Institute short-handed and he labored harder than ever, doing the work of two assistants as well as his own.
