"Tomaso," said Sturges, "have you any objection to cutting off a dead man's head?" "No, señor." "Then go back and cut off that priest's and wrap it in a piece of his cassock, and carry it the best way you can." Tomaso disappeared, and Sturges pushed back the gray hood and looked upon the pure noble face of the girl he had chosen for wife.
The speedboat pulled alongside and strong hands caught hold of Stan. "Up you come, me hearty," a seaman shouted. Stan was so chilled he had to hang on to the arm of the sailor to keep his knees from buckling. "A bit chilly, eh?" a young officer asked. "Come along. We'll wrap you in a newfangled blanket your Uncle Sam just furnished us." "It wasn't exactly a Turkish bath," Stan admitted.
"Here, let me at least wrap you in something dry. And now drink this, it will do you good." He poured some wine into a glass and held it to her blue, cold lips. "Come, Joyce! We'll straighten things out. Trust me." She gulped the warming wine, and shivered in the blanket's muffling comfort. "And now," Gaston was flinging logs on the blazing embers, "you're coming around.
She made a formal declaration that her Majesty, with the assistance of Madame Campan, had packed up all her jewelry some time before the departure; that she was certain of it, as she had found the diamonds, and the cotton which served to wrap them, scattered upon the sofa in the Queen's closet in the 'entresol'; and most assuredly she could only have seen these preparations in the interval between seven in the evening and seven in the morning.
It is perhaps not out of place to mention here that Jessie had no misgivings as to the real beauty of the present. She had sighed long for such a possession, and having never seen Mrs. Wyatt's delicate costly wrap, was perfectly content with her own and applauded Christopher's taste loudly.
"But you, my lady, are very far from being a clever woman," retorted Nick, with a gesture of impatience, signifying that he wished to leave with her at once. "Nevertheless, I shall beat you at the finish, make no mistake about that," cried Cervera, scornfully. "Now, sir, I will put on my wrap, and go with you where you please."
It does not consist with the design of the present work to track that draught of a new science of morality and policy, that 'table' of an inductive science of human nature, and human life, which the plan of the Advancement of Learning contains, with all the lettering of its compartments put down, into these systematic scientific collections, which the Fables of the Modern Learning, which these magnificent Parabolical Poems have been able hitherto to wrap up and conceal.
"This is a bitter day," he said, "for little Amy to come to us; and yet, unless something unforeseen prevents, she will be at the station this evening." "Don't worry about the child," Burtis responded, promptly; "I'll meet her, and am glad of an excuse to go out this horrid day. I'll wrap her up in furs like an Esquimau."
He particularly observed the man from the first, because, though it was a pleasant spring day, he looked pinched and shrunken with cold in his great fur overcoat, and because he had remarked him standing on the platform and scrutinizing the passengers hurrying into the train. The gentleman sat down in the seat opposite the young officer, and drew his fur wrap close about him.
The drug store on the opposite corner showed a bright interior, where two small boys devoured ice cream sodas with solemn rapture. Somewhere up a side street a choir was practising a hymn, making a noise infinitely doleful. He had a bear-skin to wrap her in, and he arranged this on the seat beside him and then tried to wait patiently.
