"Now," continued his mother, "you see that a great deal of air comes in, and if you look up chimney, you will see that there is scarcely room for so much to go up there; and yet just as much must go out as comes in. "Get the step-ladder," said his mother, "and stand up upon it, and so hold your tuft in the upper part of the door-way."
Sewell for his courtesies to me, and to express my regret at leaving him and Mr. Jaffrey. "I have become very much attached to Mr. Jaffrey," I said; "he is a most interesting person; but that hypothetical boy of his, that son of Miss Mehetabel's" "Yes, I know!" interrupted Mr. Sewell, testily. "Fell off a step-ladder and broke his dratted neck. Eleven year old, was n't he?
Nobbs was up on the step-ladder in front of the placard, so I didn't see it at first, but when I did it muddled me so I just stood there and stared. Miss Sniffen turned round and said, 'What do you want? sharp as could be, just as if I had no business there. She felt guilty all right! You could see that!

I was on a step-ladder in quest of a book when I heard a messenger say to the librarian: "The President is in the Secretary's room and wants to have Mr. Dimitry come there right away."

Once when she was on a step-ladder, with a hammer in her hand, putting up some pictures, she heard some one whisper outside: "Elle est folle."

This florist's clerk, whom she had last seen on a step-ladder with his mouth full of tacks, was talking of shooting down his fellow-civilians as if there were no other alternative. "My father may be in danger in this State House, but I'm glad he is here. He is not condoning this! He is not allowing this shame! Who is the lunatic who is threatening my father and bringing disgrace on this state?"
"That would hardly do for Americans," remarked Walter, gazing up at them, "for we could not see into the street." "We could go to the door, Uncle Walter," said Elsie. "Or have a step-ladder to carry about from one window to another," laughed Rosie.
After a long time he got the step-ladder and placed it, climbed to the top, and squatted there in front of his favorite section.
