"'T's all right, sweetheart. Yore old dad's not even powder-burnt. You been worryin' a heap, I reckon." His voice was full of rough tenderness. She began to cry. He patted her shoulder and caressed her dark head drawing it close to his shoulder. "Now now now sweetheart, don't you cry. It's all right, li'l' honey bug." "You're not ... hurt," she begged through her tears. "Not none.
The listener has, as it were, to put in his consonants for him, to dot his "i's" and cross his "t's." Some singers distort their vowel sounds almost beyond recognition, and many pupils seem to be definitely taught to adopt the habit. Then "and" becomes "awnd," and the various words take on new disguises after the reputed Oxford model of "He that hath yaws to yaw, let him yaw."
She always strengthened my l's and my t's. And the last lines are entirely hers. She had learned to imitate my characters; and when I was tired and sleepy, she finished my work for me. My sainted mother!" And he kissed the page. "See here," said the teacher, showing him the other packages; "these are my reminiscences.
But, on the other hand, take a type of the talkative man, the literal, too-accurate man, who insists upon finishing his sentences, and who will stop to dot his i's and to cross his t's, and whose dates are of more moment than his soul's salvation can anything be done for him? "Avoid giving invitations to bores," says a clever woman, "they will come without." Alas, how true!
He was something of a genius and perfected his own office appliances to increase efficiency. His fountain pen was made by running a hose from a barrel of ink and with it he could "daub out a walk" quicker than the recipient of the pay-off could tie the knot in his tussick rope. One winter Johnny left off crossing the "t's" and dotting the "i's" and saved nine barrels of ink.
There had, indeed, been a question whether every Guinea-pig, whatever his private initial, ought not to yell for the G's, and every Tadpole for the T's; but it was eventually decided that each should yell "on his own hook," and the effect was certainly far more diverting. The first four men of the A to M went out for two runs between them, and Stephen and Bramble sat in gloomy despair.
'Tis good, I think? the sense well-winged and poised With t's and s's. 2nd Gent. Nay, but turn it round; Give us the test of taste. A fine menu Is it to-day what Roman epicures Insisted that a gentleman must eat To earn the dignity of dining well?
"Well, life mostly is evil if ye come to think on it. An' as for danger 't's so-so three times shot, six times in jail an' many a rousin' gallop wi' the hue an' cry behind. But arter all 'tis my perfession an' there's worse, so what I am I'll be." "And will you let your mother pray in vain?" "In vain," he repeated, "in vain?
Even minor points do not escape the expert's critical attention. The dotting of the i's, or crossing of the t's, curls, loops, flourishes, intervals between words and letters, connections, characteristics of up and down strokes are all carefully noticed. A glass of low magnifying power will, as a rule, exhibit erasures, and even bring to view the erased letters.
Still she was annoyed, and looked it, but she did not speak it, and Tode was not sensitive to looks, or words either, for that matter, and moved with a brisker, more business-like step back to the hotel, and someway felt an inch taller, for was he not to have a new letter and a figure every evening, and did he not know how to make two t's?
