He took from the basket a small package, unwrapped it, and handed a book to the man who was seventy-five years old. "I couldn't do much by way of the eats," said Dorian, "so my present is this." "'Drummond's Natural Law in the Spiritual World'" read Uncle Zed. "Why, Dorian, this is fine of you. How could you guess my wishes so nicely. For a long time, this is just the book I have wanted."
"All that is neither here nor there," he remarked, forcing a change in his manner. "I am in for it. Now, the question is what are we going to do about it!" Constance had unwrapped the package on her desk, disclosing an oblong box. "What's that?" he asked curiously.

Then she gave a little gasp which was immediately smothered in a cough, as she stuffed the handkerchief into her sweater pocket. "What's the matter now, Bet?"

Janice, with a flushed, anxious face, unwrapped from her handkerchief and laid down on the counter the miniature frame.
Baggs informed his companion. He directed Janin forward, where the latter unwrapped his violin. A visible curiosity held the prospective buyers; they turned and faced the two dilapidated men on the road. A joke ran from laughing mouth to mouth. Janin drew his bow across the frayed strings; Harry Baggs cleared the mist from his throat.
And though he jerked his hand into the air, it was meditatively done, a quiet salute to some observant commander up there. Later, in the deep darkness, the army bivouacked near New Market.
