The door to the area steps was open, and by the street lights we could see a fence and a gate, which opened on a side street. Jim and Aunt Selina ran straight for the gate; the wind blowing Aunt Selina's comfort like a sail. Then, with our feet, so to speak, on the first rungs of the ladder of Liberty, it slipped.
Jeff had played him up strong in the world too, so that he was becoming well known over the state. That he had risen to leadership of the progressives in the House during his first term showed his quality. His ambition vaulted. Now that his feet were on the first rungs of the ladder it would be his own fault if he did not reach the top.
He could still feel the chug-chug-chug of the ocean liner's engines and had to hold tight to the ladder's splintered rungs to preserve his equilibrium. Mr. Motherwell raised the lantern with sudden interest. "Say," he said, more cheerfully than he had yet spoken, "you haven't been drinking, have you?" "Intoxicants, do you mean?" the Englishman asked, without turning around. "No, I do not drink."
At low water one had to descend twenty feet and more; but now the high tide left but three of its rungs uncovered. At the young minister's feet a small fishing-boat lay ready, moored by a short painter to the ladder. The girl stepped lightly down and held up a hand. "Thank you," said the young man with dignity, "but I do not want help."
He had rushed up out of the bunker, stumbling in the dark alleyway amongst a lot of bewildered men who, trod upon, asked "What's up, sir?" in awed mutters all round him; down the stokehold ladder, missing many iron rungs in his hurry, down into a place deep as a well, black as Tophet, tipping over back and forth like a see-saw.
Wells, steppin' over and pattin' her on the back. But that don't have any effect. The heavin' motion goes right on, and no answer comes from Deary. "Mabel! Mabel, dear!" insists Hackett. "Tell me what is wrong. Come now!" Mabel just shakes off his hand and continues her chest gymnastics. Also she begins kickin' her heels against the chair rungs.
A sense that all the rungs were beneath one apparently; since by the time that George Plumer became Professor of Physics, or whatever it might be, Mrs. Plumer could only be in a condition to cling tight to her eminence, peer down at the ground, and goad her two plain daughters to climb the rungs of the ladder. "I was down at the races yesterday," she said, "with my two little girls."
It was true she had got rid of a hated presence, but her play which she had meant to make the closing event of the season, and by which she had hoped to conquer one or two of the remaining rungs of the social ladder her play was rendered impossible; this affair would get into the society papers, with every perversion which wit or malice could supply she would be made thoroughly ridiculous!
From this back passage or court a ladder, with rungs about two feet apart, leads into the Sultan's house, and a step-ladder into the women's house. Two small boys, entirely naked, were incongruous objects sitting at the foot of the ladder. Here we waited for him, two files of policemen being drawn up as a guard of honor. The Sultan sat on a high-backed, carved chair or throne.
The other rungs are treated in the same manner, and the sides are then separated, for the inside top corner and both back corners, which will be handled most, to be well rounded off and rubbed smooth with glass paper. Assembling. Before putting the parts together give them a coating of paint, as the contact surfaces will not be accessible to the brush afterwards.
