"The doctor says I mustn't have anything more solid than a lightly-boiled shoe-lace the last thing at night." "After all, there's always the dinghy," said Archie. "If we put in a tin of corned beef and a compass and a keg of gunpowder, somebody might easily row in and post the letters. Personally, as captain, I must stick to my ship." "There's another way I've just thought of," I said.
Now, please, understand my position I say, it is quite possible, quite likely, quite in accordance with what I have seen, that this unfortunate gentleman died of heart failure brought about by even such an ordinary exertion as his stooping forward to untie his shoe-lace, but I also think it likely that his death resulted from poison, subtly and cunningly administered, probably not very long before his death took place.
"It isn't right to say such things, Hester. Of course, you and I are very near to each other; but you cannot feel toward me as though I was your mother." "Of course not. I feel a great deal more." She arose to her feet, dropping on the floor, the articles of clothing which had been in her lap. "Why, Aunt Debby, I'd treasure an old shoe-lace of yours more than those things."

'But Mr. Shinn is ashore.
Shaken by the chloroform mixture, benumbed as the outcome of an unprotected drive, the girl was physically as well as mentally unable to resist. He coiled her hair into a knot, gagged her dexterously with a silk handkerchief Voles knew all about gags and tied her hands behind her back with a shoe-lace. Then he adjusted the hood and side-screens.
'I will swear to it! he answered earnestly, deceived into thinking I was about to surrender. 'I will give you my oath, M. de Marsac! 'I would as soon have your shoe-lace! I exclaimed, the indignation I could not entirely repress finding vent in that phrase. 'A Churchman's vow is worth a candle or a candle and a half, is it? I continued ironically.
He was a man of intellect and culture who encouraged Hedwig's love of books; she became greatly attached to him, and one day ventured to ask him how he could leave his lovely and charming wife to come to one who was not worthy to tie her shoe-lace.

The edges of the jacket are brought as nearly together as possible along the centre of the man's back. Then a rope, on the principle of a shoe-lace, is run through the eyelets, and on the principle of a shoe-lacing the man is laced in the canvas. Only he is laced more severely than any person ever laces his shoe. They call it "cinching" in prison lingo.
She coloured a little, and gave her whole attention to fastening her shoe-lace. "I didn't mean that," she said, after a moment. "Only don't think I care for that sort of thing, for, candidly, I don't." "You needn't be afraid," he answered gravely. "I shall never say anything to you that I don't mean."
