The "Young Woodsman" told exactly how to manage in the woods if one were lost there and had nothing in the world but a bootlace and a wire hairpin. With the hairpin one could easily make a fair fish-hook and with a bootlace or a good hemp cord one could make a rabbit snare. "So you see," Tish explained, "there's fish and meat with no trouble at all. And there will be berries and nuts.
They were naturally dark, and made darker still by dirt and indigo. Their long shaggy hair was twisted up into a knot and bound by a long plaited leather string like a bootlace, which was wound round the hair and then two or three times round the head, like the fillet worn by Greek women in ancient times.
"My good man, one does not die of pain alone." They followed a flat, treeless road, the grass on either side of which was burnt to hay. Buggy and harness the latter eked out with bits of string and an old bootlace were coated with the dust of months; and the gaunt, long-backed horse shuffled through a reddish flour, which accompanied them as a choking cloud.
It was a stocking belonging to some bathing person which had been cast upon the island, and at the time I speak of it contained a hundred and eighty crumbs, thirty-four nuts, sixteen crusts, a pen-wiper and a bootlace. When his stocking was full, Solomon calculated that he would be able to retire on a competency. Peter now gave him a pound. He cut it off his bank-note with a sharp stick.
A tall parlor-maid, with the bearing of a grenadier, received me, and standing behind her was Mrs. Marsh, the housekeeper, whom I remembered because her untidy back hair had suggested to me that it had been burnt. I went at once to my room, my hostess already dressing for dinner, but Frances came in to see me just as I was struggling with my black tie that had got tangled like a bootlace.
Must take up Sandow's exercises again. On the hands down. Insure against street accident too. The Providential. Heel easily catch in track or bootlace in a cog. Day the wheel of the black Maria peeled off my shoe at Leonard's corner. Third time is the charm. Shoe trick. Insolent driver. I ought to report him. Tension makes them nervous.
There had never been any one like Billy in his own particular sphere; and now he was drowned, they said, and Martha was miserable, and and I couldn't get a new bootlace. They told me that Billy would never come back any more, and I stared out of the window at the sun which came back, right enough, every day, and their news conveyed nothing whatever to me.
They loosened the rails before he sat on them, so that down he came on the back of his head; they tripped him up by catching his bootlace, and bribed the ducks to sink his boat. Nearly all the nasty accidents you meet with in the Gardens occur because the fairies have taken an ill-will to you, and so it behoves you to be careful what you say about them.
by driving the governor faster or slower relatively to the speed of the crank shaft; by altering the position of W on D; by altering the compression of the spring by shifting F; by a combination of two or more of the above. Generally speaking, is to be preferred, as the simplest. The belt may be made out of a bootlace or fairly stout circular elastic.
There was a sudden snigger from a nervous gentleman in the crowd at the back of the room, and the Coroner put on his glasses and stared sternly in the direction from which it came. The nervous gentleman hastily decided that the time had come to do up his bootlace. The Coroner put down his glasses and continued. "Did anybody come out of the house while you were coming up the drive?" "No."
