Between acts, they indulge in excesses of water flavored with anise, and even go to the extent of candied nuts and fruits, which are hawked about the theatre, and sold for two soldi the stick, with the tooth-pick on which they are spitted thrown into the bargain.
A sack was cast about his naked shoulders; his cocked hat was on the back of his head; and a tooth-pick between his lips. He strolled to the side. Beneath him the Cocotte, smoking like a damped furnace, the blood trickling from between her seams, was settling fast. "Got her bellyful all snug," said the Gunner complacently, picking his teeth.
After every meal, they should be cleaned with a brush and water. A tooth-pick will sometimes be found necessary in the removal of particles of food that are inaccessible to the brush. Metallic tooth-picks injure the enamel, and should not be used. Those made of ivory, or the common goose-quill, are unobjectionable.
Finally Vorse, the saloon-keeper, turned his gaze towards the window and extracting a quill tooth-pick from a vest pocket began thoughtfully to pick his teeth. "You're the new manager at the dam?" he asked presently, still considering the street through the window. "I am." "And your name is Weir?" "You've got it right." The questions ended there.
As to powder, why, you'll come across that 'most everywhere, an' lead too; and, for the matter o' that, if your life depended on it you could shove a handful of gravel or a pen-knife or tooth-pick into your gun an' blaze away, but with a breech-loader, if you run out o' cartridges, where are you?"

He was well-dressed, and was continually probing with a quill tooth-pick at his gold-filled front teeth, evidently desirous of excavating some of the precious metal. "My name's Snark Theobald D. Snark," he said shortly, thrusting a card into Garrison's passive hand.
No really cultivated young girl will, for instance, open and play upon a piano in a hotel parlor or any other parlor at inappropriate times or when it is occupied by strangers. She will never perform in public any of the duties of the toilet, such as cleaning her nails or using a tooth-pick. She will not eat peanuts or fruit or candy, or chew gum, in public places.
He sat down in a chair by the broker's desk, and for the moment the two talked of trivialities. Gretry was a large, placid, smooth-faced man, stolid as an ox; inevitably dressed in blue serge, a quill tooth-pick behind his ear, a Grand Army button in his lapel. He and Jadwin were intimates.
"We could keep ours hidden." "But where? Could Paul hide his pistol in his hat, and could Franz put the cutlass in his vest pocket as if it were a tooth-pick? Oh no, boys, lay aside the old weapons and travel along the public road as peaceable citizens with no thought of being harmed or of harming anyone.
The man folded his arms and gazed down at the boy, mildly amused. "Not on board?" gasped Kit faintly. "Where is he, then?" The moon was out again and shining serenely. "Why, where I'd like to be with his best gurl." He took out a tooth-pick, and began to clean his teeth with gusto. Kit hardly heard. Desperately he clutched the sliding side.
