"She'll throw you over, Harry, when I'll stand by you to the crack of doom. Take my word for it, Harry. O God! Harry, please take my word for it!" She closed her streaming eyes, clutching at his sleeve in a state beyond her control. "Won't you please? Please!" He toed the carpet. "I I'd sooner be hit in the face, Millie, than have this happen.

We saw an animal resembling a deer on one hand, and a tapir on the other, as well as a kind of toed horse or hipparion, and a number of domestic pets all strange to us. The people, according to their tradition, came originally from a temperate land far across the ocean to the south-east, which is now a dark and frozen desert.
Rube toed the rubber, wrapped his long brown fingers round the ball, stepped out as he swung and zing! That inning he unloosed a few more kinks in his arm and he tried some new balls upon the Bisons.

For Monona the drama never lost its zest. It never occurred to the others to let her sit without eating, once, as a cure-all. The Deacons were devoted parents and the child Monona was delicate. She had a white, grave face, white hair, white eyebrows, white lashes. She was sullen, anaemic. They let her wear rings. She "toed in."
We've had a hand-to-hand fight to inherit the land of our fathers but we're building fortunes fast; we and the youngsters. The gray line has closed up its ranks and toed hard marks until it presents a solid front once more; some of it bent and shaky but supported on all sides by keen young blood.
