"Oh, most likely at the bankers," said the young man, by way of putting his questioner on the wrong scent. "He has just stept into an immense fortune from a maiden aunt, and is making arrangements to pay off all his debts." "There are some he will find it difficult to settle," replied the stranger with a sneer, "in spite of his new-found wealth." "Indeed, sir!
At last the sharp, insistent note of the telephone bell rang out, and he stept up into the call-box. "Mr. Stephens' office?" He spoke questioningly: and after what seemed a long pause the answer came, muffled but audible. "Yes, yes! This is Mr. Stephens' office. Who is it wants us from Paris?"
After making several ineffectual efforts to escape, the creature retired to the centre, and coiled itself up to await its fate. At this crisis, and just before the flames reached their helpless victim, the Indian stept gravely forward, lifted the worm from its fiery prison, and deposited it in a place of safety.
"I found him gasping in his chair not two minutes after you quitted him. Dearest, he is in a dangerous state!" Wilfrid stept back to his father, and was saluted with a ready "Well?" as he entered; but the mask had slipped from half of the old man's face, and for the first time in his life Wilfrid perceived that he had become an old man.

In his tragedy, the dramatis personae are like so many statues "stept from their pedestal to take the air." They come on the stage only to utter pompous sentiments of morality, turgid declamation, and frigid similes.

But he fought back the bodily weakness and, still more, the faintness of heart that was striving for the mastery with him. He threw off all assistance, and stept passionately forward a pace before the woman and the child. "It was on him!" he continued, with a kind of fierceness so determined was he to speak out the whole. "God's eye beheld it! The angels were forever pointing at it!
She instantly stopt, and he advanced, his hat in his hand, and his whole air indicating he sought not to be disguised. Surprised at this sudden change of behaviour, she then stept forward to meet him, accompanied by her friends: but when they came up to each other, she checked her desire of speaking, to leave him fully at liberty to make himself known, or keep concealed.
Geoffrey Ward, who had, after fastening on Walter's armour in the tent, before the sports began, taken his place among the guards at the foot of the royal pavilion, stept forward and removed Walter's helmet at the foot of the steps. "Young sir," the king said, "you have borne yourself right gallantly today, and have shown that you possess the qualities which make a great captain.
Norris in order. But, Mary, do not fancy that Maria Bertram cares for Henry. I am sure Julia does not, or she would not have flirted as she did last night with Mr. Yates; and though he and Maria are very good friends, I think she likes Sotherton too well to be inconstant."
