Afterwards the greater part of the citizens remained fascinated by the orator's action alone, his tip-toeing, the arms flung above his head with the fists clenched, a hand laid flat upon the heart, the silver gleam of rolling eyes, the sweeping, pointing, embracing gestures, a hand laid familiarly on Gamacho's shoulder; a hand waved formally towards the little black-coated person of Senor Fuentes, advocate and politician and a true friend of the people.
And then he stepped across the floor and into the dining-room, tip-toeing toward the stairs, that he might awaken no one. But he halted in amazement when he reached a point near the center of the room, for he saw, under the threshold of the door that led from the dining-room to his father's office, a weak, flickering beam of light. The door was tightly closed.
One night while Matilda sat at her dark window looking across at Katrinka's house, she saw a crowd of people tip-toeing up to the stoop with baskets under their arms and flowers in their hands and when all had crowded upon the porch they stamped their feet and made a great noise. Matilda was very angry, but Katrinka ran laughing to the door and greeted all with her kindliest smile.
Very graceful the little dancing-teacher looked, tip-toeing here, gliding there, twinkling through a series of pretty steps down the long garden walk. But the pupils! Do the best she might, sturdy little Kathie couldn't manage her dress. She grasped it tightly in either fat little fist. "Mother Bunch!" Lu giggled behind her back. Kathie's face got very red over that.
He knew that others besides himself might avail themselves of the shelter, and he had reason for choosing his company; so, before he reached the house, he took to tip-toeing, and keeping clear of the underbrush. The hut had one small window, before which hung a dilapidated shutter by a rusty hinge.
His head, she could see, was almost touching the bottom. She fancied that he was actually touching bottom with his hands. Yes, he was. Bending low over the water she saw his brown fingers, stretched out and well divided, promenading over the basin of the sea as lightly and springily as the claws of a crab tip-toeing to some hiding-place.
You, Prosper, can help Dom Basilio meanwhile to muster his men and right as many cannon as time allows." He stepped to the door, tip-toeing softly, and we followed him with a glance, as we went, at the figure bending over the bed. The Queen did not heed us.
I heard the two men tip-toeing away through the laurels. He, too, seemed to catch the sound, for he turned his head sharply. But at that moment Miss Belcher's voice called him back into the room. A minute later he reappeared with a loaf of bread in either hand, and walked moodily past my bush without turning his head or observing me. I faced about cautiously and looked after him.
In the house, passing the parlour door, she tip-toed, scarcely knowing why. There was now utter silence in the parlour why were they so still? Perhaps they had gone out somewhere. Without any definite plan, but still tip-toeing in the manner she and grandma had approached to overhear the law-suit, she moved toward the partly-closed door.
"I'm certain there's some one walking about on the gravel path." "We shall be caught," whimpered Mugford; "I knew we should. What can we do?" "Bolt!" answered Diggory, and began tip-toeing back towards the library door. "Stay here half a 'jiffy," he added; "I'll go and reconnoitre." Ages seemed to pass while Jack Vance and Mugford stood in the dark passage awaiting their companion's return.
