"You're sure of this, of course." It was less a question than a statement. Verkan Vall bent and took cloth-wrapped objects from his bag, unwrapping them and laying them on the desk. They were casts, in hard black plastic, of the footprints of some large three-toed animal. "What do these look like, sir?" he asked. Tortha Karf fingered them and nodded.
Unwrapping the head so as to set it free, the Eskimo saw with intense satisfaction that the Kablunet was still alive. He called at once to Norrak, who fetched from the sledge a platter made of a seal's shoulder-blade, on which was a mass of cooked food. This he presented to the starving man, who, with a look of intense gratitude, but with no words, eagerly ate it up.
With violent denunciations against the injustice in the world, the spider hid herself away inside a withered leaf, from which she could spy out and watch over her web. Meanwhile Bobbie finished the unwrapping of Maya. He tore the network and released her legs and wings. The rest she could do herself. She preened herself happily. But she had to go slow, because she was still weak from fright.
Every one looked aghast, and no one dared to touch it; and when I wanted to show them how it was eaten in its native land they screamed with laughter. I looked to the Baroness de Pierres for support; but, alas! her eyes refused to meet mine and were fixed on her plate. I tried to make the corn less objectionable by unwrapping the cobs and cutting off the corn.
A week after the incidents just described he walked into my room with a small package under his arm. "There's the pair!" he observed, unwrapping the parcel and displaying its contents two superb, golden pepper-pots, both inscribed "A.R. to C.C." "Beauties, aren't they?" "They are, indeed. Did Bruce give it up willingly?" I asked. "He never said a word," laughed Holmes.
"But I heard no report," she objected. "A Maxim silencer on the gun, I fancy," he explained, unwrapping the brick and smoothing out the newspaper.... "Glad you thought to put on your hat before you came down," he added, with an approving glance for the girl; "it won't be safe to go up to the studio again of course."
Below we could hear the water lapping the piles of the pier. Across a dark abyss lay the grim monster La Montaigne with here and there a light gleaming on one of her decks. The sounds of the city seemed miles away. "What a fine place for a murder," laughed Kennedy coolly. He was unwrapping the package which he had taken from me.
However, we reached the roof apparently unobserved. There at least, now that it was dark, we felt comparatively safe. No one was likely to disturb us there, provided we made no noise. Unwrapping the smaller, paper-covered package, Garrick quickly attached the wires, as he had left them, to another cedar box, like that which he had already let down the chimney up the street.
This escape is accomplished by Spiritual Unfoldment or Evolution, by means of Reincarnation this Evolution not being a "growth," but rather an "unfoldment" or "unwrapping" of the soul from its confining sheaths, one by one.
"I have destroyed all the typed copies and every note. It is my wish that you shall destroy the manuscript." "Of The Key?" she whispered. "Please." "But are you sure?" "Quite sure." Flamby met his set gaze and unwrapping the manuscript she approached the fire. Paul stood aside, resting his elbow upon a corner of the mantelshelf. Flamby's hands were very unsteady.
