She moved impatiently, so that the shoelace slipped out of his hand, and he had to begin all over again.
But poor Gyp found them a little terrifying; like Pat Everett she hated vegetables and she despised milk; there was always something awry in her dress, a shoelace dangling, a torn hem, a missing button. But if one could win a point for correcting these little failings just the same as in chemistry or higher math., was it not worth trying? "Whoever do you s'pose thought of it all?"
Except for the time when the curate tripped over a loose shoelace and fell down the pulpit steps, I don't think I have ever had a more wonderful moment than when good old Bottle suddenly started ticking Tom off from the platform. In fact, I thought his whole performance in the most perfect taste." I could not but demur. "Those references to myself " "Those were what I liked next best.
Stobell took his pipe out of his mouth and cleared his throat. "Why, you might build a hospital with it," he burst out, impatiently. "Build a hospital!" repeated the astonished captain, as Mr. Chalk bent suddenly to do up his shoelace. "Think of the orphans you could be a father to!" added Mr. Stobell, making the most of an unwonted fit of altruism. The captain looked inquiringly at Mr. Tredgold.
Rick balanced on one leg, one hand on Scotty's shoulder, the other hand fumbling with the shoelace on his lifted foot. The tail walked toward them, unfolding a paper as he did so. He was apparently devoting his full attention to the paper; his actions said he didn't even know the boys existed. "You ought to get tighter shoes," Scotty observed.

Rich's, you know, two nights; but he would be Mr. Poor, I should suppose, by the time her Grace left him; for he will not see the worth of a shoelace again of all that he expended on her." "You see," remarked Mr. Buxton to Isabel, "how fortunate we are in having such a friend of her Grace's with us. We hear all the cream of the news, even though it be a trifle sour sometimes."
Perceiving that my shoelace was untied, I stooped to refasten it, and when I looked in the room again saw Desmond standing under the chandelier, his hands in his pockets, his eyes on the floor, his hair disordered and falling over his forehead; its blackness was intense against the relief of the crimson wall-paper. Was it that which had unaccountably changed his appearance?
"To the Dona Maria Concepcion de Arguello de la Yerba Buena to speak precisely," said the colonel, slowly. "George, you can take that hat to that blank hatter what's his blanked name? I read it only yesterday in a list of the prominent citizens here and tell him, with my compliments, that I want a GENTLEMAN'S mourning band around my hat, and not a child's shoelace.
Of the question of the sex-instinct I know very little and I do not think that it counts for very much in a really great passion. It can be aroused by such nothings by an untied shoelace, by a glance of the eye in passing that I think it might be left out of the calculation. I don't mean to say that any great passion can exist without a desire for consummation.
