His hands were small and plump, and his feet were small too and daintily shod in low, square-toed shoes. About the whole man there was an air somehow of full-bloomed foppishness gone to tassel as though having been a dandy once, he was now merely neat and precise in his way of dress.
"What the deuce are you staring at? send boots can't you, and ask what I can have for dinner." "Yes, sir," said the waiter, and with a low bow departed. "These boots are rather dusty," said the boots, a grey-haired, venerable-looking man, after he had taken off my thick, solid, square-toed boots. "I suppose you came walking from the railroad?"
Shall I wear my white silk, Gregory, with the little white rose wreath?" "Yes, and the nice little square-toed white silk shoes like a Reynolds lady's and like nobody else's. I do so like your square toes." "I cannot bear pinched toes," said Karen. "My father gave me a horror of that; and Tante. Her feet are as perfect as her hands.
If I had not gone idly into Mouquin's cellar for dinner that night, I should have missed the most engaging adventure that ever fell to my lot. It is second nature for me to be guided by impulse rather than by reason; reason is always so square-toed and impulse is always so alluring.
They crossed the yard to the sheltered bower in its cluster of bare trees, while Ted trudged behind them kicking up clouds of dead leaves with his small square-toed boots. "You run in to Mother Purdy, Teddykins," said Dan, but Nance caught the child's hand. "Better keep him here," she said with an unsteady laugh.

His costume was of the plainest character black satin neck-scarf tied negligently, with a pearl pin stuck through it anyhow, a queer sort of black pea-jacket with braid on its edges, square-toed patent-leather boots with white spats and, nevertheless, he seemed to be dressed as sumptuously as if he had been wearing all the gold and glitter of his Privy Councilor's uniform.
They went along the road until the spot was gained where Josiah Crabtree had been last seen. Then they began a systematic search until Sam discovered what he said were fresh footprints leading directly into the woods. At one point one of the prints was very plain, and they saw that it was made by a long shoe, square-toed. "I reckon you have struck it, Sam," said Dick, after an inspection.
Whose spoor was this, that followed upon our own, back towards where the tent stood! "My hair rose on my head as I looked. The ghastly white moonlight showed the other spoor quite plainly the print of a broad, square-toed, low-heeled shoe.
The blue jowl, the fat-lidded eyes now merry, now alert, now tungsten hard the bullet head, the pudgy fingers and the square-toed shoes were all in conformation with the doctor's olden mental picture. "Yes; I know I look it," said O'Higgins, amiably. The doctor laughed. But he sobered instantly as he recollected that O'Higgins had found Spurlock once.
He was not going to be shut up in a sickroom to please all the gossips of two hemispheres. In his best black broad-cloth, his broad, black hat newly brushed, and his old-fashioned, square-toed shoes newly shined, he paced up and down the station platform for half an hour, and it was to his arms that Sylvia flew when she alighted from the train.
