"Don't weep!" cried the Captain in a husky voice. "It's not your fault really!" "Whose is it, then?" asked the General brokenly. "Why, Farmer Green is to blame, of course!" Captain Kidd replied. "If he hadn't made his stepladder so big we might have used it and won the battle just as easily as not." "That's so!" the General agreed, drying her tears on a lace handkerchief.
"Our project, if that is what you mean, is to have a studio tea for Mr. Djickyns and to secure the attendance of as many purchasers for his works as possible. Have you any suggestions?" "Why," says I, "not right off the bat. Maybe if I could chew over the proposition awhile, I might " "Oh, I say," breaks in the noble young gent on the stepladder, "I I'm getting dizzy up here, you know.
Johnny was up on a stepladder laboriously painting the R on THUNDER when old Sudden drove into the yard with half the Rolling R boys packed into the big car. They had heard the strident humming of the plane when Johnny made his homing flight, and craning necks backward, had seen him winging away to the Rolling R. They had guessed very close to the truth, and for them the search ended right there.
Don't forget the stepladder, and plenty of tacks and string. You may bring the azaleas upstairs. Take the white one to Mr. Alexander's study. Put the two pink ones in this room, and the red one in the drawing-room." A little before three o'clock Mrs. Alexander went into the library to see that everything was ready.

The rows of books that had gone with the Hall like the family portraits stretched silently away, but amid the smell of leather and learning, Eileen's lively nostrils detected the whiff of the weed, and sure enough on the top of a stepladder reposed a plain briar pipe beside an unclosed Greek folio. "The scent is hot," she thought, touching the still warm bowl.
And no children dared come into the shop to spend their poor coppers for candy and raisins when Brita was in charge there. That day Brita had not many customers. So for hours and hours she sat quite alone, staring into vacancy, despair burning in her eyes. By and by she got up and took out a rope; then she moved a little stepladder from the shop into the back room.
"There! how does that look?" he finished, as he carefully picked his way down the stepladder. "Fine! er only rather warlike, maybe, with the guns and that riotous confusion of knives and scimitars over the chiffonier. But then, maybe you're intending Billy for a soldier; eh?" "Do you know? I AM getting interested in that boy," beamed William, with some excitement.
The young gentleman leisurely ascended to the top of the stepladder and fell into line under the lash. "Young Mr. Graydon Bansemer will be here this afternoon," said Droom. "I want to get things cleaned up a bit beforehand." "How does he feel about his father?" "He doesn't know about him, I'm afraid." "Gee! Well, it'll jar him a bit, won't it?"
