And," he added by way of rubbing it in, "I guess I've got about all the money there is in this valley." "No, you ain't!" Pop Truman cackled, teetering backward and forward while he counted his winnings. "I bet on ye, young feller. Brought me in something, too. It did so!"
"My father's word has always been considered sufficient in this country; his verbal promise to pay has always been collateral enough for those who know him." "But my dear boy," Sinclair protested, "while that sort of philanthropy is very delightful when one can afford the luxury, it is scarcely practical when one is teetering on the verge of financial ruin.
It's sagging downward. I wonder Here Avella interrupted with a slight scream as she too, caught sight of a faint, filmy something that was teetering slowly down, but not in straight lines as is usual when planes are descending in the regular methods employed by aviators when striving to reach a certain landing. "What is the matter with it?" queried Andra to any one within hearing.
He had old women, who had not thought a frivolous thought in fifty years, teetering over dressing doll babies. He shamed the stingiest man in the town into giving him a flour sack full of the most disgraceful-looking candy I ever saw. "William!" I exclaimed, when he brought home this last trophy, "you will kill them."
I would go far away through the terrible forest, and find some tree for myself in which to roost. As for food, I knew where to find it. For the last year at least I had not been beholden to my mother for food. All she had furnished me was protection and guidance. I crawled softly out through the bushes.

He stood by the gangway as the passengers came off, an interminable throng, slow moving, teetering on the slats, a gush of funnelled humanity, hampered with bags, hat-boxes, rolls of rugs, dressing-cases, golf-sticks, and children. At last Miss Latimer was carried into the eddy, her maid behind her carrying her things, lost to view save by the bright feather in her travelling bonnet.
Those big shells had held food-material enough, so that her young, when hatched, were so strong and well-developed that they could go wandering forth at once. They did not lie huddled in their nest, helplessly begging Peter Piper and Mother Dot to bring them food. Not they! Out they toddled, teetering along the shore, having picnics from the first the little gypsy babies!
"Pietro," said O'Mally, teetering, "have you ever waited for money from home?" Pietro puffed studiously, separating each word with all the care of a naturalist opening the wings of some new butterfly. He made a negative sign. "Well, don't you ever wait. There's nothing to it. But I've got an idea." Pietro expressed some surprise. "Yes, and a good idea, too.
The children were all shrieking in dissonance, so it was quite impossible to tell what the burden of their tale of woe was; but obviously something of a tragic nature had happened. "What is the matter?" asked Miss Acton, teetering like a humming-bird with excitement. "Little Lucy " gasped Miss Parmalee. "What about her?" "She isn't here." "Where is she?" "We don't know. We just missed her."
He was a nimble sort of father, or he never could have done it, so tall a tree it was, with no branches near the ground. Corbie, even at ten days old, was not like the spry children of Peter Piper, who could run about at one day old, all ready for picnics and teetering along the shore. No, indeed!
