The loose ends of the string extending to some length beyond the twisted parts, were neatly coiled away against the skirting-board. The other ends, drawn tight, disappeared in two small holes drilled through the wall, at a height of a foot from the floor. After first untwisting the strings from the hooks, Hester rose, and held the candle so as to light the cavity in the wall.
"Thérèse's room was a long way off," M. Rambert replied, "while there was only a thin wall between yours and that of the Marquise. You must have heard: you did hear! More than that , oh, my boy, my unhappy boy!" Charles was twisting and untwisting his hands, and great drops of cold perspiration beaded his brow.
Pausing not to note effects, he slashed furiously at the left-hand rope. One strand gave. It sprang apart and began untwisting. Again he hewed with mad rage. "Crack!" The cable parted with a report like a pistol-shot. From the bridge a wild, hideous tumult of yells and shrieks arose. The whole fabric, now unsupported on one side, dropped awry.
Then, by a peculiar motion, this saw could be made to whirl very swiftly, by pulling the two hands apart, and then letting them come together again, the string twisting and untwisting alternately, all the time.
Already he was untwisting the thick rope. One by one he passed the separate cords to men in the other boats.

For some months Miss Cynthia Badlam, who, as was said, had been an habitual visitor at The Poplars, had lived there as a permanent resident. Between her and Silence Withers, Myrtle Hazard found no rest for her soul. Each of them was for untwisting the morning-glory without waiting for the sunshine to do it.
The bull, finding a sudden pull at its head, of course turned towards Mr Ramsay, who, untwisting his lash, galloped round and gave it such a cut on the flank as made it turn back once more towards the herd. This gave Joseph time to remount his horse, and he was soon lashing away at the animals as before.
The woman declared that it was the most wholesome thing in the world; and if the young gentleman did not find it so, she would never ask him to taste her ginger-beer again. Hugh thanked them both; but he did not feel quite comfortable. He looked at Holt, to find out what he thought: but Holt was quite engrossed with watching the woman untwisting the wire of the first bottle.
And having, after several efforts, stood upright, he commenced untwisting his line from the rod. "All right?" asked R , impatient to begin. "Yes, all right," replied P ; and away the pram, borne by the thousand intertwining currents, shot with R .
Rachel sat down in a chair by the window and looked out, twisting and untwisting the dust-cloth in her lap. "I presume likely lots and lots of folks have read that book, ain't they?" she asked, after another interval. "What? Oh, yes, almost everybody. It's a classic, I suppose." "What's that?" "What's what?" "What you said the book was. A class-somethin' or other?" "Oh, a classic.
