Rafferty, that despises the asphalt that a Dago treads on, wakes up in the morning with her feet in the bosom of Antonio Spizzinelli. And Mike O'Dowd, that always threw peddlers downstairs as fast as he came upon 'em, has to unwind old Isaacstein's whiskers from around his neck, and wake up the whole gang at daylight.
Well, buy one of them they were invented here and carry it to some dismal cavern, where the foot of man never treads: make Cheetham grind your blades in another county: and who will ever know? Go to him, and don't say a word, but just ask him for your month's salary. Then he will open the door of business himself safe. I'll drink his health.
She felt certain that he would appreciate her ballroom and picture-gallery, and would figure well within it. The company was young, the night was wild, and cheer was the word. She presently led the way upstairs. Foster, as soon as he heard the first voices in the hall and the first footfalls on the bare treads of the upper stairs, shut his door.
To keep away unbidden lovers of her nice figs and dates, she fastened on the gate a tablet bearing the inscription: 'All may enter and enjoy the sight of the garden; but the dogs will bite any one who breaks a flower, treads upon the grass, or steals the fruit.

It is only in the great passionate crises of existence that event treads upon event in uninterrupted sequence of causation.
The visitor who enters a white and green hall and gets an effect of real reserve and coolness is all the more appreciative of the warmth and intimacy of the living-rooms of the house. After all, for simple American houses there is nothing better than a straightaway staircase of broad and easy treads, with one or two landings.
"The clock eleven steps." The meaning of Lord Ashiel's dying words was, he thought, plain enough now. Running up the stairs again, he descended more slowly, counting the treads as he went. There were fifteen. Gimblet bent down and held his torch so that the light fell bright upon the eleventh step.
