Little Boys tip-toed when they came near him, and Maiden Ladies sighed for an introduction. Nothing but a Post-Mortem Examination would have shown Jim up in his True Light. The midget Lawyer looked up in Envy at his mastodonic Acquaintance and sighed. "If I could combine my Intellect with your Horse-Power, I would be the largest Dandelion in the Legal Pasture," he said.
He wasted no time over his toilette, the more so because it was none too warm in his room, for at this early hour it was still quite dark; and then taking his light in one hand he opened his door carefully so as to make no noise, tip-toed along the landing, and went down the staircase to join Thérèse in the dining-room.
"I know she will. She's always been so adorably interested in everything. I wish I had something to eat," she finished prosaically. "I'll go see if Bet and Ange have anything," Polly offered. She tip-toed out of the door for the good night bell had rung and started toward Betty's room. One of the housemaids was just coming down the corridor. "Here's a telegram for you, Miss Polly," she said. "Mrs.
Well, I s'pose it's all right: those that's got money, want money." "What be you, Eli ganging on hooks?" said Aunt Patience, as she tip-toed into the kitchen behind him, from his wife's sick-room, and softly closed the door after her.

"I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth I know not where, For who has sight so swift and strong That it can follow the flight of a song?
On turning away, each glanced at the clock and hurried his step. In a certain dark street not very far from the lecture-room Mr. Cullen rose on tip-toe at the windows of a dull little public-house.

Through half opened eye-lids Hal continued to steal glimpses, while the other rose and tip-toed towards him, stepping carefully over the sleeping forms.
Not in her worst dreams had she imagined it as mean and poor as this. But perhaps .... With the lamp in her hand, she tip-toed guiltily to a door in the wall: it opened into a tiny bedroom with a sloping roof. No, this was all, all there was of it: just these two miserable little poky rooms! She raised her head and looked round, and the tears welled up in spite of herself.
There were better talkers, wittier, brighter women within hail women who kept their hearers laughing much of the time, which Miss Ray did not, yet he shrank from the possibility of one of their number accosting him.
