The click of the soapstone pencil upon the frameless slate, the scratch of the quill pen across the bespattered copybook, the shrill tone of the solitary reader as he stood with the rest of the class "toeing the mark" before the master, or the shriller tones of the arithmetic class reciting in concert the multiplication table, kept up a pleasant discord throughout the short day.
Here the commodore threw his heels into the air with such rapidity that I could not very well tell what he was about, though it was sufficiently apparent that he was acting entirely on the rotatory principle. I observed that he alighted, with singular accuracy, on the very spot where he had stood before, toeing the mark with beautiful precision.
"She was fine like him, ready to break her heart for those she cared for. My, if she had seen him first instead of " She stopped short, for the ice gave way to her foot, and she only sprang back in time to save herself. But she trotted on, mile after mile, the dog-trot of the Indian, head bent forwards, toeing in, breathing steadily but sharply.
And before it was over even Zeb was almost overcome. Perspiration streamed from his forehead and soaked his shirt as he dropped from the branch, having accomplished the journey and pulled the professor to the bank. "That's what I call toeing a man out of trouble," punned Dick, in the general relief that followed. "Good thing it warn't no further," puffed Zeb, mopping his forehead.
There was not another brooch like that in New York state, Marcia felt sure. Beyond were Uncle Joab’s small meek Sunday boots, toeing in, and next were little feet covered by white stockings and slippers fastened with crossed black ribbons, some child’s, not Harriet—Marcia dared not raise her eyes to identify them now. She must fix her mind upon the great things before her.
Mike waited for them to reach their goal lines, and then placed the ball in the middle of a chalk-drawn circle. Toeing the line, Tom, Roger and Astro eyed the Arcturus crew and prepared for the dash to the ball. "All right, fellas," urged Tom, "let's show them something!" "Yeah," breathed Astro, "just let me get my size thirteens on that pumpkin before it starts twisting around!"
The last time I was successful, and in a few moments grandmother was among us; but whatever she knew she kept to herself until the lamps were lighted in the sitting-room, and she, in her stuffed rocking-chair, was toeing off the stocking only that morning commenced. Then, at a hint from Anna, she cast toward Lizzie and me a rueful glance, saying: "There are too many pitchers here!"
He took immediately to roving the toe of his shoe in and out among the gravel. She stole out her hand to his arm. "Well, Jimmie?" Her voice was in the gauze of a whisper that hardly left her throat. "Well, what?" he said, still toeing. "There there's a lot of things we never thought about, Jimmie." "Aw!" "Eh, Jimmie?" "You mean you never thought about it?" "What do you mean?"
A President who has not a kind of plain, still, homely poetry in him, a belief about people that sings, in the present appalling crisis of the world is impracticable or visionary. So we do not say, "Have we a President that can get our Bells, Edisons, McAdoos, Achesons to be good by toeing a line?"
"Just pick yourself up and go on," ordered Baird, and had the cameras secure close shots of Merton picking himself up and going carefully on, toeing in now, to embrace his weeping old mother and the breathless girl who had awaited him with open arms.
