The other half of the space was occupied by eighty or a hundred vertical compartments, in each of which stood something carefully enveloped in the same material. "Well, for all the world if it doesn't look like a set of big phonograph records!" exclaimed the man. He drew one of the objects out and very carefully unwrapped it. "Just what they are records! On steel.
He gradually unwrapped a piece of paper, which was passed over to Major Childs, who read it, and it was in the nature of a "Safe Guard" for "Wild Cat" to come into Fort Pierce to receive provisions and assistance while collecting his tribe, with the purpose of emigrating to their reservation west of Arkansas.
"Any bones broke?" He leaned to feel of the unwrapped part of Johnnie's hurt arm. The indifferent tone, the hated, ungentle touch, and the nearness of the longshoreman, all worked to unman Johnnie, who gave way again. He did not fear a whipping any longer. It was, as Mrs. Kukor might have put it, "somethink yet again."
I can't describe it! How can a fellow tell about such things! It's like well, it's like Frau Hummel's "stuffed" goose, that's all! ... Then the ducks, too, were unwrapped from their white cloths and weighed usually a pair of them and the old willow basket had nothing left but its bundle of cloths when Frau Hummel started out again on her 10-mile walk to the farm.
He arose as he spoke, and going to another part of the studio, opened a black oak coffer, and took out of it a long object wrapped up in a piece of faded yellow silk.

Jessie spent a good many minutes taking off her doll's hat and coat and her leggings and mittens and putting them on again. "I brought my railroad train," announced Carleton Marsh, the next morning. He unwrapped a long train of cars and an engine. "I got 'em for Christmas," he said.
Kennedy had unwrapped the package which proved to be the instrument he had left in the closet at Atherton's. It was, as I had observed, like an ordinary wax cylinder phonograph record.
He came in and sat on the bed and unwrapped his two volumes several hundred typewritten pages, elaborately bound up in covers of faded pink silk. And Thyrsis read one and Corydon the other, while the poet sat by and watched them and twisted his hands nervously.
She spent the whole delightful day in the shops, unhampered by Louisa's scorn and criticism in her examination of all the pretty things displayed. She selected a hat she felt sure Tom would like a pretty crumpled grey straw with forget-me-nots and ribbons. Then she bought a grey silk of a lovely silvery shade. When she got back home she unwrapped her packages and showed her purchases to Louisa.
Lloyd had sent a reply addressed to her cousin Carl's office, but had heard nothing more. Thinking that the other photograph was her cousin Carl's, Lloyd unwrapped it, wondering if he had changed as much as Eugenia. To her surprise, it was not a middle-aged man she saw, with gray moustache and kindly tired eyes.
