Tipping hesitated, but the gallant captain, putting a good face on it, sprang up and, passing his arm about her substantial waist, saluted her, after which, as a sort of set-off, he kissed Miss Tipping. "I can only say," he said truthfully, "that this kindness hurts me. The day I'm married I'll tell you all."
"They keep running to see if I have rung before I have touched the bell," said Newman "and as for my person they are always bowing and scraping to it." "I suppose you are always tipping them. That's very bad style." "Always? By no means. A man brought me something yesterday, and then stood loafing in a beggarly manner. I offered him a chair and asked him if he wouldn't sit down.
He seldom openly showed his regard, but Harvey was perfectly conscious of it, and he valued it highly. Jim was sitting alone at the table in the library. He greeted Harvey by tipping back and waving toward a seat. The table was littered with papers. "How are you?" said Jim. "We've stolen a march on you." Harvey smiled, and threw himself wearily into a chair at the other end of the table.
In late years, owing to the introduction of precautions in their manufacture, the disease has become much less common. The tipping of the match sticks is accomplished by dipping their ends in a warm solution of a composition of phosphorus, chlorate of potassium, with particles of ground flint to assist friction, some coloring agent, and Irish glue.
Mother and daughter, with feelings of gratitude, against which they fought strongly, noticed that the table was laid for three, and a little later, in a somewhat awkward fashion, they all sat down to the meal together. "Very good beef," said Mrs. Tipping, politely. "Very nice," said her daughter, who was ex-changing glances with the mate. "I suppose you're very comfortable here, Mr. Fraser?"
We prophesy rain upon the morrow, and wake with a bar of golden sunlight on the coverlet. We foretell a hard winter, and, before it is half gone, become nervous lest we should miss our supply of ice. The fly, the murrain, the potato-rot, and the grasshoppers, all have a divine office in tipping over our calculations.
At least justice would be done now, although this usher had blundered so unpardonably that morning. "This is childish, you know," said Mr. Blinkhorn, "and it's not football. The Doctor will be seriously angry if he comes and sees you trifling here. Let the boy go." "But he's cheated some of the fellows, sir," grumbled Tipping and Siggers together. "Well, you've no right to punish him if he has.
Tipping, compressing her lips, got on board, followed by her daughter, and marching up to him eyed him severely. "I wonder you can look us in the face after the trick you served us the other night," she said, fiercely. "You brought it on yourselves," said Fraser, calmly. "You wouldn't go away, you know. You can't always be coming here worrying." "We shall come whenever we choose," said Mrs.
Dulce, seating herself upon the stone-work that surrounds it, though the water is too chilly to be pleasant, still toys lightly with it with her idle fingers, just tipping it coquettishly now and then, with her eyes bent thoughtfully upon as it sways calmly to and fro beneath the touch of the cold wind that passes over it. Just now she raises her eyes and fixes them inquiringly on Roger.
Of course," she added hastily, "it's heavenly in the war canoe, all paddling together, but it isn't nearly so exciting. There one person does the steering and it's always Uncle Teddy, but in a small canoe you can do your own steering. And, besides," she continued in a heartfelt tone, "there's no chance of the war canoe's tipping, and there always is in a little one."
