One winding will bring it up to me and back to the clerk." When the other children heard this plan they were much delighted. Soon the store was ready for business. Boards had been placed across the boxes and a tier of shelves made, the top one so high that a long box had to be used like a stepladder to reach it.
The girls were soon ready, and with Lisette they walked out in the bright sunshine and along the Rue de la Paix until they came to the corner where the personally conducted tourists were to start from. Mr. Farrington had telephoned for tickets, so all they had to do was to clamber into their seats. This was done by mounting a stepladder placed at the side of the big vehicle.
He shook a warning finger in her direction. "Dear me!" she cried, "I'm glad I came! To be called a 'girl'! I, an old maid of I won't tell how many 'summers'! Thank you, Mr. Randolph!" "If all old maids were as young as you there wouldn't be any," he responded gallantly. She laughed her blushing protest, while he went for a stepladder.
It was approached or ascended from the prison yard below, by a long wooden stair or stepladder, close alongside the wall on the inside. Against the wall on the inner side, on either hand of the scaffold, were erected platforms within about four feet below the wall coping.
Pelle bent the calves of his legs out backwards, and stood gently rocking himself to and fro as he saw Gustav doing, up on the front-door steps, where he stood holding the reins, waiting for his master and mistress. The mistress now appeared, with the farmer, and a maid ran down in front to the carriage with a little stepladder, and helped her in.
"It takes the stepladder to get at the top shelf, and I put Aunt Philura Maple's pickle-dish up there o' purpose when we was married, and it's never been down since, 'cept for the spring cleaning, and then I always lifted it with my own hands, so's 't shouldn't get broke." She laid the fragments reverently on the table. "I want to know who done this," she quavered.

Mrs. Dodge, from the lofty elevation of a stepladder, looked across the room. "Here comes Ann Whittle with two baskets," she said, "and Mrs. Solomon Black carrying a big cake, and a whole crowd of ladies just behind 'em."
He had the procedure of the State Department at his finger's ends. He was the head of a charming domestic fabric his daughters the prettiest girls in Washington. Why not?

That evening, they decorated the tree, that is, Lois and Jim did most of it while Polly and Bob rested in two big chairs before the fire, with Sandy between them, and made suggestions. "Jim, that tinsel would look much better going around the tree instead of up and down," Bob said critically. Jim, who was upon a stepladder, went on trimming, while Lois came to his defense.
John, hadn't we better take another table so that your friendly conference may not be interrupted?" I hastened to assure Peaches that it wasn't a conference at all. We had met Mr. Schwartz quite by accident. Then I introduced Ikey to the ladies. He got up and did something that was supposed to be a bow, but you couldn't tell whether he was tying his shoe or coming down a stepladder.
